Whomp! comic - ChicoBlue immortalizes Ronnie in a Bauhaus poster
Employees have more opportunity, are more likely to know when they can get away with it and spend more time in the store. I can see it. It depends on your definition of stealing too. I'm guessing a lot of employees in a grocery store might take a sandwich off the shelves or something.

In a supermarket shrinkage is fairly low. You have the douchebags that let their kids eat whatever and then hide the wrappers, loss prevention will just call the cops before they even approach the thief in that case. But for teenagers pocketing chocolates or whatever, they'll just just take the stuff off you and kick you out with a warning.
When I was on food stamps I was the balancing master of self checkouts at Kroger because inevitably the cashiers would have something snarky or rude to say about using an EBT card and it was just easier to use the self checkout with the larger scale plate and run $140 worth of groceries delicately balanced on top of each other than deal with a cashier who was going to make it a Production to have to hit the fucking EBT button. I'm a die hard fan of self checkouts for EBT purposes

Oh, man, it sounds like you had some really shitty cashiers.
One of my friends had an EBT card for food, and the Wal-Mart employees never gave him any grief.
I think I read somewhere that employees were more likely to steal from a store than the customers.
I once saw the weirdest, most blatant employee theft in a grocery store. This girl who looked to be about 17 walked over to some item on an endcap. It was a food item she was obviously going to eat immediately. I wouldn't have even noticed what she did, except she crossed her arms, turned her back to the item, and using her hand that was under her armpit, crouched to grab the item. That may have been hard to picture, but it's hard to explain. It's kind of like she was going to do a Russian dance, but instead she was stealing the froot loops behind her.
Then of course she bypassed the checkouts, grabbed her paycheck and she was gone
People who say self checkout is better for anxiety are crazy because when my machine has an issue and the person comes over, I go full fucking ronnie with the "I'm sorry"s.
I drew a ronniesque comic about my adventures at work of eating 24 icecream sandwiches during my shift. You've inspired terrible whiteboard dry erase art Ronnie, I hope you're happy.
you know what, I just realized that Ronnie is carrying the luggage in that Whomp!
what a goddamn gentleman
He was actually just worried that you'd put it down too loudly and startle the kitties. Unable to think of a polite non-confrontational way to tell you to put the luggage down really gently he resorted to chivalry.
Slammin random to try and figure out which WHOMP! is my favorite.
It's gotta be this one...or maybe another one...maybe all of them. This one is up there though:
Alt text: Note the lack of underwear on the former nugget man. There are two possibilities: His underwear was nuggets, or he wore no underwear. I'm not sure which is less objectionable.

Im sure companies want to believe that but no.

They are easy as hell to use
I fucking love those things compared to stuff like WIC
there is a volume button. You can mute the machine

Some of them I have used still make loud noises when muted.

ronnie, don't you see
this comic is dying for an edit where ronnie's expressions replaces mega man's head in the robot master select screen
its actually an ugly duckling that will become a beautiful swan
