Go get something in your house with a UPC code on it and try this

If I'm so stupid, then how do I know it works?

Trust me. It works. When I was a kid I knew people that would do it all the time, based on the assumption that most employees don't bother looking at every item they scan and comparing it to the register screen. Watch employees scan stuff next time you're out. Most of them look like mind-numbed robots. They just scan something, bag it, scan the next item, bag it, and so on. You just have to find the most zoned-out employee. My friends use to do this back in the day and never got caught. Granted, they mainly did little things. Like changing the price of a CD from $19.95 to $12.95 or something.

For the record, I never did it 'cause I'm not a fucking thief. My parents would have kicked my ass if they ever caught me doing something like that. Plus I was raised with "morals and values." Even though I somehow ended up shooting porn for a living. Ha.

Two months ago when I was at the hardware store joking around with some of the employees there, I took the UPC off of cheaper item and put it on another, more expensive item. I was like, "I'll just be on my way to go pay for this now." The emloyees laughed and told me, "You know, the funny thing is, the cashiers wouldn't even notice."

People just go to work and do their job, man. After you scan shit day in and day out for ages, you stop caring so much and don't notice small stuff like that.

But a TV? Especially one for a little over three bucks? Come on. That's just retarded.
