Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
They couldn’t just put like an RFID chip on everything and have you walk through a scanner?
Can we not incentivise even more e-waste please?
Are you saying i shouldn't be throwing my devices into the ocean?
Only car batteries, please.
Grocery stores usually do an insane volume of sales compared to most retail. I'm not sure how big these things were but even if they're tiny they're probably selling thousands of units a day. The number of chips they would need and the labor to apply them would almost certainly be unsustainable.
Or use an app with a barcode scanner?🤷♂️
No way to automatically verify that you actually scanned everything.
Although I think Walmart does have that.
I mean, same at most self check out stations. You could probably weigh the cart/basket on the way out if you know what's supposed to be in it.
kroger does as well. it is actually pretty nice, you carry the scanner with you and just scan a barcode at the self checkout once, you don't have to take anything of the cart. idk if they still have it or not, i've since moved away
