Have been shaking my head since I got back this morning….
Did the self checkout. Had roughly $150 worth of stuff, including 6 5 packs of the leaf paper bags. On my way out, I got stopped by security because one of the bags ($4.99) didn’t scan. He checked my entire cart. I am a white male in my 50’s. Do you think they do this to ANYONE or just people that fit my profile?

Wear nicer clothes and you don’t have these problems.

You must have a dishonest look about you to have them check so intently.

Don’t get mad at him cause he caught you trying to steal.

i'm sick and tired of white people stealing shite and trying to use their race card as a defense of their innocence

Self checkout you say?
So you didn't shoplift intentionally or unintentionally. There's a failure in Home Depot's training of self checkout cashiers. Tell them they need to improve their training.

So you were trying to apply a self declared buy 5 get one free coupon?

They used to always check me at Walmart in less than stellar neighborhoods (the 2 times per year I was there). I am clean cut and wear polo shirts. I did not blame them… I would have done the same in their shoes rather than risk getting attacked.

probably just people who don't scan everything and try to walk past the point of purchase

You have a target on your back that "they" call "white privilege". It is their mission to fight you at all times. You are the enemy.

It’s called skip scanning. Sorry you got caught, but apparently their profiling was on point.

I would have told them that the $4.99 was your fee for checking your own items out. Did they expect you to work for free?

Posted on 3/11/25 at 11:10 am to Lake08
They stopped you because you tried to steal from them

Never knew there was such an object....

Why not just use the black plastic bags like everyone else?

When using the self checkout, it's your job to make sure everything scans. If it won't, then you call the 300lb lady over to help you.
You're a bit young to be doing boomer shite my good man.

Who stops for a check? Just say, "No thanks" and keep rolling.

my city does it as part of a zero waste initiative but others have a community composting program
ETA: it was super bizarre to me at first when I moved here

Oh, they’re definitely profiling.

Did you get to call ICE on any illegals?
