Disclaimer: this is just a meme.
It’s strange how the disproportionality of wealth makes theft seem ok.
Its not that. It’s people taking some payment for having to do the store’s job for them.
Clerk: “Um, sir, that doesn’t look like a banana. Are you sure you entered the right code?”

The jig is up. Run

Apologize profusely

[Rhetoric: Heroic 15] Convince the clerk you don’t know what fruits are
EVEN 58%
+1 You look terribly frazzled
This is a Red Check. It can not be retried
Rhetoric: [Heroic: Success] “Is this not a banana?” You say in the most genuine tone you can muster
Savior Faire: You may have been caught, but you managed to feign enough innocence to get trouble off your backThe clerk gives a dumbfounded expression
Clerk: “Uhm, no sir, that is an avocado, not a banana”
Half-Light: She is too terrified of your empty skull to properly correct you on thisOh shit I’m gonna replay it again
Encyclopedia: It is in fact *not* a banana. A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called “plantains”, distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name for this hybrid, Musa sapientum, is no longer used.
Just played Disco Elysium for the first time and this comment makes more sense now lol

look I’m all for sticking it to the Man and stealing if you’re actually starving but a lot of you people are just Petty thieves
The grocery stores are as well when there’s record inflation and people struggling and they are all posting record profits.
The fact that things like this never occur to me as possibilities goes to show just how naive I am about how the world works
It’s all fun and games until you are banned from the local grocery stores .Loss prevention is pretty good these days. It’s the Internet though, they really aren’t stealing. It’s internet tough guy shit.
I was at one and moved an unscanned item to close to the bagging area and the screen froze then showed an areal cam of me getting too close to the bagging area.
Most self checkouts use cameras and AI where I am.
Where I used to live, the self checkout didn’t even accept Google Pay.
Aw, that’s the best part. I love paying with my ridiculous smart watch that I didn’t need.
Well too bad you spent so much money on a watch that needs to be charged every day.
It was a stupid impulse buy, yes…
Oh these are the worst. I had an Apple watch Series 0 I got cheap from a friend. Was pretty neat, but the charging was annoying.
Now I have a Casio GBD-200 which gives me a few smartwatch features (notifications, phone finder, vibration) with a battery that lasts 1-2 years and since it’s a G-Shock I don’t have to worry about damaging it.
