1) That’s just outright theft, so, great job posting that publicly.
2) Buying organic is an economic statement, not a health one (an organic zucchini isn’t vastly more healthy than a non-organic one), so all you’re doing there is screwing over the organic farmers who are trying to run their business a better way.
- nickthegreek 3y ago1) Sure it is theft, and the old system, where the scanner was an employee of the grocery store, solved this issue. The store must realize that this behavior will be done by a non-zero percentage of its patrons. They have crunched the math and decided that it is a risk they were willing to absorb. So while I don't do this myself, I do recognize that the grocery store has given me a worse experience than before while increasing their shrinkage. My violin continues to decrease in size. 2) I'm not sure how this behavior is screwing over organic farmers? They stors aren't selling the item for their full cost, but a component inventory system should recognize the missing items were stolen and not in fact sold/wasted.
- JamesLeonis 3y agoLets look at this another way: If a security researcher notified you about a security flaw that was trivial to exploit, including showing you how to reproduce it, would you tut-tut them about computer crime? Here's another question: You, by design, are going after somebody publicly notifying you, but by design you aren't going after those who actually exploit the flaw. What incentive is there to notify you of a flaw at all?
