   Because you've been doing your job long enough you know if/when you've msade a   
   mistake & likely correct it l.ong before the ticket is given?

   Smart man. I like having a camera in my pocket at all times, with instant   
   review if the photos I take.   
      
   I wazsn't sure of the game a local grocery store was playing on getting out of   
   selling at flyer pricing (as is the law); I negotiated with a lower level   
   manager to split the difference on a $20 box of halloween candy, by giving me   
   another brand(more expensive) for the flyer price.  I explained to him I'd   
   taken a photo of the display & emailed it to my compter at home to compare to   
   the flyer I had there (they no longer provided fltyers in store. . hmmm. . .)   
      
   I now, when there's likely to be a dispute at the till (shelf price higher t   
   han flyer price, I photo the shelf & look up the flyer online, & ensure I get   
   my free item (if the scanner scans even 1c higher than ANY other price ANYWHERE   
   in their advertuising (including in store hand-written signs) I get first item   
   free (up to $10)   
      
   I once got over 30 cherery pies at Safeway before they fixed the code in the   
   computer to stop ringing up as solid-top fruit pie ($1 more than lattice-top)   
      
   I'd pop in every couple days intending to buy a cherry pie, & BOOM, it rang up   
   too high again. . . I began giving every second one to a fellow sweet tooth in   
   the building! Never hsd that much of a deal since, but they got lots of   
   promotion out of those $150 worth of pies!   
      
   Everybody wins! My favourite way to play life!
