Beware the little electronic doo-dads embedded in the carton.


Sometimes the checkout does not disable them and they stop you. I won't
stop any more and they really get PO'd. Thee is no legal reason to stop you
because the clerk made an error.

For even more fun, stick the gizmo onto the shopping cart on the bottom. It
won't usually beep coming back in, but will the next time it is taken out.


Wal-Mart does that a lot. They CALL it "inventory management", but
still make it look like you're being accused of something.

I keep on going when it's just the machine complaining.
