When buying something expensive (eg some vodka) at a self serve supermarket checkout, place it on the scale and press carrots (the cheapest thing per weight).

... and then wait for the security guard to tap you on the shoulder and ask you if you have paid for everything and to accompany him to the office to wait for the arrival of Mr Plod. You may be lucky and get away with it once or twice, but sooner or later they'll get you.

Waitrose shoppers have been doing this for ages to buy cheap avocados.

It wouldn't be vodka in my case, I brew my own alcohol so I don't pay tax. The government did not make that vodka, they do not deserve 90% of the cost.

How would you get a pack of carrots that weighed exactly the same as a bottle of spirits?

It would fool the machine, they only go by weight. As long as no human saw you do it.

Why did you not leave your shopping in there, tell a member of staff you had a sore ankle, then come back and buy it later?

You don't. In UK supermarkets anyway, you can buy loose carrots. You put them in a bag yourself, then weight them at the checkout. You pay per lb. The machine will think you have a vodka-weight of carrots.

Just another Hucker troll post.
Bottles of booze have rfid tags on them
Next time try weighing your head. The same weight as a cabbage.

If you ever want to know how much your head weights
Just use a cabbage.
