self-checkout grocery stores
« on: December 05, 2002, 07:59:00 AM »
Have any of you noticed these self-checkout terminals at grocery stores in your area ?  There are a bunch of them in my area(eastern US).  All of the publix stores have them here.  Basicly they are a bunch of machines where you scan your own items and then insert cash into the machine.  I've found that these arnt smart enough to limit the ammount of anything that you buy.  Comes in pretty handy :)

Things that might complicate your little plan:

- pay only with cash, not anything traceable (ATM).
- Good chance that you'll be videotaped when you throw the cash in the machine.

So .. you're like .... what .... afraid of the cashier?

what I'm saying is if one wanted to he/she could buy as much pseudo as he/she wanted using one of these machines.  Cashiers will limit you usually at least where I live.

You guys are way too paranoid.  Swim once worked at a grocery and damn it, they don't really care that much about you!  The world does not revolve around drug manufacturers! You actually think that the store goes through their records and sees exactly how much pseudo everyone buys and if its too much then goes through all their camera tape to find the person's face, then gives it to the cops, who in turn try to identify you??  Not really!  You think they like wasting their time and money to help the cops in return for nothing??  Maybe if you live somewhere where meth is rampant, but go to Boston or some other place in the northeast and I guarantee you you could easily buy 5 boxes of pseudo even with a cashier without her batting an eye.  And if you do live somewhere where meth is rampant, use common sense!  Use a hat and sunglasses.  Duh!  And most of those cameras on self-checkout machines aren't very high resolution either.  You could buy three boxes a day easy no problems.  The camera won't recognize your face, won't say, hey, weren't you in here yesterday?

No, you can't. There are safeguards on the system. IE, when you buy booze it pops up with a message to check your ID. How do you think they put limits on buy one get one free, coupons, etc ...? They can't expect someone to remember all these things, it's built into the system. Not to say Mom and Pops would have this kind of system, but I can guarentee you Walmart and Food Lion do.  ;)

cashiers

The cashiers at Wal-mart won't even look at you funny if you buy four jars of baker's yeast and 60 pounds of sugar, and that's dead obvious what your intentions are.  Most cashiers have no idea what you're using all that pseudo for, and the ones that do probably won't say something unless there's an angle for them.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. There's no use being a fool about it.

Security Cameras
« Reply #9 on: December 07, 2002, 11:39:00 PM »
Ok someone who knows shit about Wall-mart cameras comment on this:

In swim's area there are 2 superwalmarts that he frequents for red hots. Say the cameras CAN recognize your face.. WHAT are they gonna do?  Are they going to zoom their cameras in the parking lot up to your license plate and record it? Or what?  Are they even going to do anything at all?  When swim says frequents, he means about once a week.. one then the other.. so any comments on what they might/could do would be appreciated??

That's probably because they don't know that fermenting sugar with yeast will give you alcohol.

this state became famous because of all the liquor stills that popped up in this area.  Hell, we founded the most popular US racing circuit around the shine-runners in the area.  You might be right about them not knowing what goes into a still, but that's pretty sad when you think about how their grandfathers probably used to run a still.

Most cashiers I've known can't remember that far back.  Maybe it depends on the area of the country you live in.  I was amazed to find that 99% of the jobs in some parts of Pennsylvania (when I was there the last couple of times) are still occupied by white people.  It reminded me of the 60's here.  I can't remember the last time I've seen a white janitor in this area.

The problem is that you still have to pay a cashier, if you plan on using cash, and they usually look through what you purchased to make sure nothing slipped past.  Not really faster than regular lines, and you have to bag the shit yourself.  Fuck that shit...

Sams Club has them "checkyourselfout" things now. Im with PB, fuck that shit. I'll be damned if I spend money at your store, and bag my own shit. Then again.. Sams doesn't provide bags if I remember correctly.. What a dillema!

Swims girlfriend is a cashier at Wally's.
She told me the cash registers are rigged so if she scans more than the limit allowed of certain cold medications
the register tells her and will not ring up more than the
2 boxes they allow you to buy.Even their generic pills
are super-gakked.Swim goes to small town privately owned
stores.Asks if they have any shelf life expired psudo they
wish to sell.Even if they don't(get lucky sometimes)they
always have some never heard of brand thats half ass clean.
My best buy was at a dollar store.

One of the easiest OTC routes to P2P starts with pseudoephedrine, so you're back where we started from.  I doubt many people here are ready for some of the chemistry involved in other routes to P2P, unless they can find a racing supply store that sells nitroethane.  They are still around, you just have to look.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. There's no use being a fool about it.
