Disagree, it’s petty theft at absolute worst, and there’s no good reason to react that way to it.

Give the option to pay or return it, make note of the person so if they make a habit of it you can respond, but this is just ridiculous

Thank you!

Like, I’ve been turned back to pay for items that a cashier missed without cops being called and they didn’t arrest (or fire) the cashier either. There’s really no reason to go straight to “arrest for theft”

No, the malfunctioning scanner did not cause this… The aggressive policing of these types of errors is what did. When it became clear the items weren’t scanned, they should have turned her back to go pay for them, not arrest her right then and there

How so, out of curiosity?

Yes, kind of.

I shorthand it verbally unless I’m giving a full date, but typed, it’s almost always yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (whichever part of that is relevant).

I do this because I believe it’s the most logical, it sorts properly without having to use a datetime library, and it can’t be confused with another system (is 12-1-2026 in the future or the past? No way to know just by looking at it).

Just shortening it to MM-dd could cause confusion with anyone not in the US so I’ll typically include the year as well (also useful if I wind up having to look at old notes or emails to not have to figure out the year I meant … Which has happened more than once …)

Yes, if by “normal poop” you mean “firehouse of the most horrific liquid imaginable”

Better use a rotating OTP token MFA, too
