Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod
abscondment writes "Nearly a year ago, two couples were charged with scamming WalMart for nearly $1.5 Million by creating custom barcodes with reduced prices. You'd think that in the intervening months, other companies would guard against such shenanigans - but today we see that Target just caught a scammer buying iPods for $4.99! The 19 year old used BarCode Magic to create fake barcodes, buying expensive electronics suspiciously low prices. Personally, I would have gone for a less blatant discount, or refrained from visiting the same store so soon afterwards."

Because there are many more liberals on
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
We have a similar word in the English language: "losing". "Loosing" is an incorrect form of "Loosening": the act of making something less tight.
How many escape pods are there? "NONE,SIR!" You counted them? "TWICE, SIR!"
Man that cracks me up. You're arrogant enough to [sic] someone's poor spelling, then immediately commit the ultimate spelling mistake: "definitely" does not now, has never, and will NEVER contain the letter "a".
You moron.

You're presuming to know the editor's intent, and furtermore using it as a platform to go wildly off topic.
Seriously, your first attempt to introduce moral judgement to this discussion was off-topic. Continuing to run your mouth and argue your point simply marks you as a self-important fuckwit.

So, basically a lame excuse for essentially stealing. See, the kids who are paid peanuts are still being paid peanuts. The only one who benefits from this is... your friend. And well, probably the kid who sold you this.
But obviously after that CompUSA knows what you think about them and respect your opinion.
Remember that the cashier is always responsible for the cash in the register matching up to todays sales. If if differs too much (say a couple of computers sold at loss), he or she will be responsible. That's why I always check my change (most of the time I get to little, but at times they'll give me too much and I'll return it).
Everyone can make mistakes, but silently accepting and benefitting from them? That's just immoral.
