Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

    I feel like such a dork hearing about everyone doing this stuff, because then there’s me who actively pressed the help button cause it wouldn’t let me register a second pastry (the first one counted for both because they were in the same bag)

    I live in a rural area and there are only two supermarkets I can get to easily so I’d much rather not risk getting caught out and banned and just pay the usually pound or so I would’ve saved by doing this

      You won’t get banned for missing a few things, unless they catch you hiding barcodes or swapping prices. Which isn’t worth the extra effort usually anyway.

      Although if there independent grocers, I would feel shitty. The saying is if it’s a chain, it’s fair game.

        It’s a chain, but as much as I dislike chains I don’t want to steal from them. Supermarkets don’t seem nearly as evil as a lot of other companies to me and they provide a genuinely useful service that smaller companies couldn’t do as well
