Hands up who’s ever taken the stalks off the hydroponic tomatoes so that they scan as shitty, cheaper tomatoes at the checkout?
Nobody, hey? Pack of filthy liars.
Well, this dude has moved well beyond the stalk-off scam but royally ballsed it up.
A man has faced court for allegedly tampering with a bar code to buy a $700 coffee machine for $30.
[...]
It was alleged Podolak took bar codes from cheaper items and put them over more expensive ones before going to the checkout.
What a tool. Only the dumbest checkout pleb is going to look at an expensive coffee machine, look at the cash register readout displaying $30, look back at the expensive coffee machine, and not have a flag raise in their mind. This bar code idiot obviously started out removing tomato stalks (like smoking joints) and slid down the slippery slope to brazen and ridiculous bar code swaps (like heroin).
Let that be a lesson to you, GrodsReaders: recreational scamming will always lead to the hard stuff eventually.
