A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I don't use those self checkout machines because they're a serious liability to me. If I fuck up and miss scanning something, then I get a shoplifting charge. Best case, they realize it was a simple mistake a trespass me indefinitely for it.
Fuck you. Ring up the items for me.
I also now have a new policy. If they have more self checkout open than regular checkout, I leave my cart in the parking lot NOT in the buggy corral.
There used to be sort of an unspoken honour system that if they didn't have to pay a kid to collect carts, prices would stay down. Now they're reducing their labour AND bumping prices to increase profits.
Fuck you. Collect your own cart.
Obviously it's different with every store management/owner, but any decent store would never ban you or try to press charges for missing one item, especially if it's obviously a mistake.
Also, leaving a cart in the parking lot does not impact the store at all, you're simply punishing that kid for no reason. A simple call, email, review, or social media comment is much more impactful because it actually reaches the decision-makers...
If you have jury trials in your jurisdiction, you might as well just "forget" to scan an item every so often.
Even if they catch you, no jury is gonna convict on what appears to be a simple mistake.
