Welp…don’t like seeing Dontrell Glover’s name here.
But wait…there’s more!
Word on the street is that a few items weren’t scanned at the self-checkout, and they were cleaning supplies, no less.
Let’s see how it plays out before we start casting stones, shall we?
The Great Windex Caper! Fire Kirby! Banish the football program!
This incidence is definitely one that needs patience and full collection of the facts before conclusions are drawn.
I agree. Let’s wait & see.
I note that Dollar General has disabled their self scan out machines
Wal-Mart and DG share clientele. DG was being robbed blind.
25 with an L!!
They didn’t steal anything!! They just opted out of paying for unfairly priced items.
I think they thought they were still playing bammer and could just take what they wanted.
Lunch money, girlfriends, cleaning supplies… whatever.
George Brewer is somewhere shaking his head.
It doesn’t sound like anything to see or get worried about. But these young men need to have better attention to detail and understand the fishbowl they’re living in.
Cleaning products? For football players? I smell setup unless Walter White is in town.
Innocent until proven guilty. Should be no consequences until they have their day in court sometime in February. Screw Wal-Mart.
Chip Towers early Christmas present. He’ll leave his spot in the food bank line for this. AJC will re-start the presses!
dollar general is a criminal enterprise
I bought a candy bar at Dollar General that rang up $2.50. Who’s the real criminal here?
If bought a candy bar at DG, you’re just as guilty as they are. 😉
Second.
Referencing the APD, do those officers get any extra pay (also GSP, police and deputies from other jurisdictions, other agencies) from UGAA? Just wondering.
Do believe the real geometrics related law of physics question here is, how fast were the student athletes scanning at the checkout lane and what is the potential for bad or ill-informed scanning skills, if the conveyor type surface was moving faster than the scanners ability to keep up, bad scanning happens, should they have been scanning faster than the normal customer, then, yes, abnormal shit scanning happens, upon further review, the instruments/apparatus used during the initial equipment installation are outdated, thusly the unintentional scanning is null and void, set my peeps free, moving forward, they should know, a formal introduction to Mr. Scott Sinclair is in their rehab future…GO DAWGS!!
Chip Towers is going to come out of retirement and rewrite this story to somehow include Toppers being involved.
I would say boycott Walmart, but I already have!
This is somehow a plot by the Walmart overlords to get the players to transfer to Arkansas.
This never happened in McWhorter, we had a cleaning come through and nicen up the bathrooms twice a week….
About a month ago, my wife called me to let me know she was pretty sure she’d accidentally walked off with about $100 worth of groceries from Aldi. She’d gotten caught up talking to a friend, walked off, and only realized what she’d done once she had a moment to process.
I went back, paid the bill (she had indeed forgotten), and that was the end of it. No cops were called. No newspapers informed. It was treated exactly as what it was… an honest mistake.
Turns out, when Chip Towers isn’t camping out in small-town Minnesota for a decade telling everyone that spouses of financial advisors are natural criminals, people treat honest mistakes as if they were indeed honest mistakes.
This’ll blow over.
When I use the self-checkout at Kroger and Wal-Mart, if you scan quickly and put the item in the plastic bag, the scanners can’t keep up with you and messages appear on the screen as if you didn’t scan items. It seems like I’m always getting the message that someone has been called to help me, as if I am trying to steal something. If the technology can’t keep up with actual people scanning and putting items in the bags or in the buggy, do away with them and go back to having actual people working the registers instead of 1 person trying to watch 15-20 self checkout registers at one time!!!
I hate the self scanning checkout thing unless I’m buying few items like two cases of beer or something. I’m not very good at it unless I go slow and check the screen after each item. Plus it’s made for short people.
I had a cart full of deer corn and other supplies piled on top of the deer corn. I had forgotten or didn’t realize, or both, that my son had put a mineral lick and a couple other things under/between the deer corn bags. So I scanned and threw most items back in the cart without bagging (because bags are useless for a lot of the hunting stuff), then scanned the top corn bag however many times for the number of bags I had without pulling the bags out of the cart. Didn’t realize until I got home and scanned the receipt into the app and looked it over that I had the mineral lick and other hunting supplies I didn’t pay for that must have been hiding under corn bags at check out. I took the things I didn’t pay for to walmart the next day and told them what happened and told them I needed to pay for the mineral lick but needed to return the other things because I didn’t need them. They were shocked and surprised, and said they never had anyone come back to pay for something they mistakenly didn’t pay for. And they didn’t really know how to return merchandise without giving a refund, hahaha. I told them I’d just put the merchandise back on the shelf if they pretend it never happened, they laughed and agreed and that was it. No police involved, honest mistake, and they seemed grateful. Mistakes happen in those self checkouts. If they wanted tighter control for what is paid for, then maybe hire checkout workers instead of making your customers work as checkout workers.
On the flip side, as former a criminal defense attorney, I represented many a client who had the same story and we came out ok on all of them, mainly just pay restitution and it goes away unless it’s a career criminal. But if I’m being honest, I doubted the innocent story of about 75% of those people. The self checkout allows the “non-innocent mistake maker” to be able to claim it was a “mistake” very easily.
