You ever buy the cheap wine, pull off the barcode and bring it back to the store, then buy the fancy expensive stuff with the cheap barcode over the top. They never notice, wine bottles all look the same to them.

That and coupon fraud. Remember when people were walking out of the store with free xboxes using coupons they made?

They watch that a little more carefully now.

The term for that is "slap tagging."

When I ran the Marine Department at a major outdoor retailer, I was always fighting the warehouse team because they'd just roll out a high-end sonar unit in a cart for my people to stock and walk away, and there were people who would slap that them as shitty units from the same company, and the cashier wouldn't notice the difference between a Garmin 4CV (about $100) and a Garmin 8612 (about $5000).
