buying beer

<p>K thanks now go back to your sober party.</p>

<p>whoa, I've only seen a self-checkout once before, but you mean to tell me those things don't call someone over to check an ID when beer gets scanned through them?</p>

<p>Some kids at the dorm were asking how to get beer and I told them to go through the self-checkout and they came back with a bunch of cases so no it does not call someone over.</p>

<p>The one's I've seen DO call people over; however I had a friend who found a solution (admittedly, he DID later get caught shoplifting by doing this but he got away with it many times before and after):
Take a UPC from a product of similar weight that is nonalcoholic (for beer this is a joke; go get a 24 pack of soda) and cut it out. Then put it OVER the beer UPC when you are purchasing. The weight sensors in the self-checkout won't know the difference. You save a lot of money on the beer too.</p>

<p>Honestly though, doing **** like that is risky. Fakes are usually pretty questionable in collegetowns too, at least in terms of buying hard liquor (beer is easier to get; bars usually aren't too bad carding wise). Just meet some 21 year olds and have them hook you up. It isn't difficult.</p>
