Are self check outs a scam?
Yeah, so I was at the store yesterday after a morning of skiing, and honestly, I can’t get this off my mind. A friend of mine—same age, super active—just forgot to pay for a coffee and a small plastic bag, like 2 francs 25. But instead of being fair, the security guard treated him like a total criminal. He even offered to pay on the spot, but they refused, just so they could hit him with this massive 200-franc fine. And it hit me—this isn’t just a one-off; it feels like they’re not trying to solve a mistake, they’re just waiting to hand out fines. I’m all about doing the right thing—and I just can’t believe this is how they treat honest people. Has anyone else gone through this?
