what a cheapo

 

[Alphas]

Do one or two times may not get caught. But 26 times is asking to be caught and shamed.

 

[Euqorab]

Lucky he didn’t do that at Sheng Siong

He would have been caught by the fifth time, because his face would be detected by the art system and printed out all over in the stalls offices

His sentencing is comparable to the influencer case?

Giant should invest on a better self check system like what Fairprice is using~ Fairprice self check has weighing scale, harder to cheat~

 

[d5dude]

Self checkout surely got this problem, he is definitely not the only one cheating. Cashier is one of those things that should not be automated, cost savings and productivity gain is minimal at best.

[Visor9999]

We are becoming like USA… people can’t afford things… and do crimes…

If he is unemployed long term, to him going jail is more like an incentive to save money

you steal from business you get jail. business steal from you, example, never check on weighting scale accuracy regularly, let staff continue sell wrongly weighted product. only start to act abit when customer points out error, after awhile, back to old tricks again.

Because it's a cost of living crisis worldwide , this is something even the whites in richer countries do

Other things include swapping price tags etc
