This makes me wonder what the numbers are for Costco, who pays their employees very well.

  Kind of hard to sneak out a 20 lb rack of ribs or 50 lb bag of rice.

    Not really, put it in the bin, collect outside later. And how is that any different to other stores? Does costco not sell chocolate or tampons or things that are easy to steal? Even if in big packages, break it open, it goes out the back.

      Maybe for small stuff. But the bins are well locked up for that reason. The garbage goes out in a sealed bin accessible only within the store. Returns get palletized for 3rd party resale and then forklifted into a trailer.

    Could just scan out your friends and “miss” scanning some items for a cut. Or “overlook” their 20lb of ribs scanning as 20lb of rice. Can’t do it entirely because of the exit checks, but the checks aren’t 100%. Though when buying a gift card, they don’t let you pick it off the rack: you get a receipt to ask someone else.

      This is what gets referred to as "sweethearting".
