You know those self-checkout counters actually know the exact weight of the item(s) you're scaning, so it'd be dumb for anyone else to try this on any other item. Unless, of course they weight the same.

You can press the skip bagging button and it won't be weighed. I suspect it's more likely they watch you a little closer when you purchase on the most expensive items in the store.

Walmart's clientel is not the brightest on the whole.

Also, there are cameras at these self-checkout counters and an employee that oversees people checking out items. This man must not have thought about that thoroughly.

Yea they may know the weight, but they only know what the product is based on the barcode. If he swapped the tag the register wouldnt know it was a TV, it would think it was whatever the tag he stuck on it was.

Yeah. If he was smart, he would have bought a really good plasma, but stuck the barcode from a crappy (but similiar sized) plasma onto his unit. Come on, "Sanyo" looks about the same name-wise as "Sony", especially to your standard illiterate Walmartian.
