Boomers go to the checkout person so they can have someone to get pissed off at when the item doesn’t ring up right and they go “heh, guess it’s free then!”
Okay that’s a dumb boomer joke that drives me crazy but also I do ultimately believe that’s exactly how it should work
Any problems processing payment means it’s free. I believe this on a fundamental “we live in a society” level. As a business, the social contract you fulfill is to 1. provide goods and services, and 2. in exchange for doing so we allow you to collect money. Whether you are able to do part 2 is really not our problem, and you have to do part 1 regardless.
If a Walmart has its credit card readers go down you should be allowed to take anything you’d like
It’s also less obnoxious when a cashier rings up something and goes “oh I love these, they’re so tasty” as a product endorsement instead of a fucking advertisement.

Ugh. God damn, that is so fucking true. Every single accusation is a confession.
I’d welcome them taking self-checkouts away and paying more a decent wage.
