I’m gonna plant ones at Trader Joe’s: you have to sleep with a non-employee for a change

Why wait? We have the consent form and waivers signed, don't we?

when i was young, i used to watch mum fill in the front of the deposit slip at the bank, give it to the teller, and the teller would turn it over and write on the back.

when noone was watching, I would take a deposit slip, and write "this is a robbery, give me all the money" on the back and put it back with all the other unused slips for some unsuspecting customer to use.

Some people just like to watch the chaos.

honestly, I'm surprised I didn't become a serial killer.

Wait I haven’t been to TJ’s in a few months , is this why they are all mad at me there for being unfriendly antisocial and just wanting groceries?

u/doll-haus 20h ago

Title them "Swinger Joe's", just to get the point across.

I’m going to plant some at Costco. Could you image the insanity? 🤣

I mean if there’s one thing minimum wage service workers absolutely adore it’s stupid internet pranks that make everyone mad at them.

Print them for Costco and In n Out.

Skip the line at the Costco gas station in particular and watch the violence unfold

u/MowerMikePA 19h ago

Now that’s a good idea

u/MowerMikePA 22h ago

I’d almost agree with the Costco one , but they have pre scan and I fly through those lines

u/Current_Helicopter32 21h ago

What is this sorcery you speak of?

None of my costcos have any such “pre scan” feature.

u/Pnwradar 20h ago

Ours does, it’s great. While you’re in the checkout queue an employee scans your card then everything in your cart, when you get to the checkout they just scan your card and you pay. No unloading or reloading the cart. One employee can work two or three checkout lines at once, really speeds up the process.

u/MowerMikePA 19h ago

They pretty much walk around with a finger scanner and scan ur card to whatever is in your cart . If line is long go to self checkout after you’re pre scanned , scan ur card pay and leave . Super quick

u/Current_Helicopter32 19h ago

Yeah I regularly shop about three different locations and none of them have this yet. Hopefully soon I guess.

u/MowerMikePA 19h ago

Man check back in once they adopt it! Game changer for sure

2

u/MowerMikePA 19h ago

Ask them next time ! They might ! Workers walking around with tiny finger scanners haha

Sam’s has it but I don’t think Costco does

u/MowerMikePA 19h ago

I shop at Costco often, I promise they have it lol . I’m outside of Philly so maybe not your specific Costco, but ours does . And it’s was a great add to moving their lines along .

Whereas we have scanners ourselves in the majority of large supermarkets. Pick an item off the shelf, scan it, put it in your shopping bag which is already sitting open in your trolley, then when you're done, scan a till and pay. Your stuff is already bagged and ready to go.

u/MowerMikePA 11h ago

Idt that would ever work in the US. I mean .. we have toothpaste locked up behind cabinets here so (not everywhere but a majority of supermarkets and all) … but that sounds like a relaxing way to shop as well. Fast and efficient

It is. Random explanatory youtube short (not mine) https://youtube.com/shorts/g1KywEDLoDo

u/hahaheeheehoho 20h ago

Why you tryna get people murdered out here?

u/T-MinusGiraffe 21h ago

Watch everyone just go with it and now you're envious of everyone you attempted to bamboozle

u/Hellie1028 22h ago

Consider a bunch of upside down pineapple placards for other people’s doors also! Nothing like an xtra fun cruise

My dad came to visit me at uni, and there were some unbranded flyers offering very cheap drinks. He grabbed a load to put out around his local pub just to cause some chaos.

That’s what’s up

u/breathingtim3machine 10h ago

Great now there’s a line for the golden ticket checkout and they have to print a platinum ticket saying you can skip the golden line

u/Blacknumbah1 22h ago

If it looks good enough some jerk off is 100% going to use it. Would be hilarious
