Some products have those magnetic tags inside the packages. I went to a Shoppers Drug Mart to get some nicorette, and when I got home and opened it, there was a magnetic strip inside the package .Luckily the sensors have been broken and they haven't bothered fixing it for a while.
If its small enough and easy to take apart, just slip it in your pocket, a razor comes in handy for plastic packaging.
Just get some neodymium magnets with the power of N48(someone in this thread said something about it), you take them from your old hard drives.
There's this new Canadian tire, about a kilometer away and they have self checkout, and on a slightly empty day (monday during 2 o'clock) there aren't a lot of employees. There is usually a cashier taking care of self checkout and the cashier. So what I do is have a friend go to the cashier buying a bunch of useless crap and I go to the self checkout with fairly expensive items and cover the barcode with a gum barcode which is about 1.15 and swap it for the two items and I tap the scale where the bags are so it thinks I put it in the bag. I tell my friend to be clumsy with the change, buys enough time for me to walking out with 2 80 dollar halogen work lights for 2.30 + tax. I've did this method with a small 15" tv (was gonna go for the 19" but it was sold out) with something that was heavy for 5 dollars (saved $250) and put it on the self checkout rack next to it so it could demagnetize.
Next time I plan on buying a product through cashier and scan the bar code and get stickers and print em out and stick them on and go through the cashier.
I tried it another time with a door lock and I thought I got the right barcode with the collection, I saved from canadian tire. I got an item that was too light and I ended up paying the whole price for it
but then I refunded it.
And if your ever buying ink for a printer and you don't want to risk "shoplifting" either security is tight or something like that, all you gotta do buy an ink cartridge take it out and swap the old one with it (wash it with rubbing alcohol, so it looks clean) , and bring it back saying the electronics head is broken, and ask for a refund. Or if you have a printer like a lexmark or hp without the colour bundles, it's in paper box. Just take it off carefully swap it with an old one and glue the box back together and refund it saying you bought the wrong one.
