degenerates were putting bottles of whisky on the scales and weighing them as onions
Your whiskey bottles are sold by weight? They’re in bottles; they should all have the same weight.
That doesn't mean you can't put them in a produce bag and ring them up as onions

Like all economists, I'm fascinated by cheating
If they’d introduced economics like that, I would’ve taken more classes.
That's why there were enrollment surges after Freakonomics came out
Yes and yes
a thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for
One of my math professors would always tell us after exams that C's mean you didn't study enough and B's mean you didn't cheat enough.
I see. Even as an aspiring social engineer, I hadn't considered this kind of criminal energy. I only tested once whether I could reuse a receipt to exit (our self-checkouts only let you exit with a receipt), but I couldn't because, damn, they thought of that.
And of course, it would have been just a mistake if anyone cared.
I heard about a serial TV thief who would buy a TV, get the receipt, bring the TV to his car, run back in and grab another TV on the same receipt. Then, he returned one of the TVs to get his money back.
I have to admit, humans will instantly game the system, as soon as self checkouts were installed in our town, degenerates were putting bottles of whisky on the scales and weighing them as onions 🤣🤣🤣🤣
