    In all seriousness, I wonder what the theft rate is for Walmart with people using self checkout? Some peoples job is stealing, nothing else. It sucks.

    @RustyGreen you’re needed for a knowledge drop on a 1967 Camaro. We’re struggling for info here.


    We could search it ourselves but would rather you do it.

    Per The Atlantic

    "How common are self-scanning scams? If anonymous online questionnaires are any indication, very common. When Voucher Codes Pro, a company that offers coupons to internet shoppers, surveyed 2,634 people, nearly 20 percent admitted to having stolen at the self-checkout in the past. More than half of those people said they gamed the system because detection by store security was unlikely. A 2015 study of self-checkouts with handheld scanners, conducted by criminologists at the University of Leicester, also found evidence of widespread theft. After auditing 1 million self-checkout transactions over the course of a year, totaling $21 million in sales, they found that nearly $850,000 worth of goods left the store without being scanned and paid for."

    so a 4% haircut off the top line

    Man, I went into our local K-mart not long before they went under.

    Compared to the nice place to shop when I was a kid, this store was some sorta zombieland experience.

    I saw a young kid dry fire a compound bow in Kmart once and the limbs shattered. He laid it down and ran :eek:

    Thats how Dollar General stores are around here; dirty floors, carts of crap in the aisles, one haggard looking person working....but they're constantly busy.

    If I wanted to make millions, I'd open a few dollar stores / generals. Like you said, iffy at best interiors and a line of people out the door.

    It annoys me that Hot Wheels does exclusive colors on a couple of cars for Dollar General - the latest one is a 1970 Chevelle Wagon in purple

    I refuse to shop at any dollar store franchise.

    They are aimed at single mothers who make sub $40k/yr.

    Very few have any real food. High, sugar, high carbs and quick preparations. Nothing that will ensure proper development of the children. Obesity in children is very common. Not good situations.
