printer ink, coffee (keurig pods are expensive). smart home devices (specifically light bulbs) are great for regular shoplifting i do not see how they could be barcode swapped in store without an employee helping you.
why are you opposed to the OG method of stuffing merchandise in your pants and leaving?
the barcode method hss a lot that goes into it. also I've only seen it used in the field successfully one time

LP can call up last purchases on the scanner in seconds. Just to let you know.

Fishhooks. However, I know that Walmart used to have a 3 transaction limit per year, no receipt, I believe up to 100 per transaction. However, I was going to return a blender, that I actually paid for, probably one of the few honest returns in my life. I think it was like $40 and they said it capped at like 20 or 30 returns without a receipt. After probably millions worth of fraud lost, they finally got smart

barcoding hasnt been an effective method for doing this type of thing for a decade now. plus, you're starting to border into fraud territory, which is a federal crime. opposed to stuffing stuff down your pants which is generally a misdemeanor unless its over $1000 or whatever the limit is.
shoplifting is stupid easy and there are millions of guides on it online. if you really are that worried about it, just do boxstuffing (see kof/bradleybs/fluttershys stealing guide for more info)

A team of two is all it really takes. Identify LP, one person distracts LP by either engaging or looking suspect, the other person does the lifting.

If you are using the barcode system to defraud that is an attack on the POS which is a financial instrument. If it involves any form of electronic communication, especially financial information, whether both parties are in the same state or not it is a federal crime. 18 U.S.C. 1343: Prohibits fraud, which involves using the internet or other forms of communication to defraud people.

Anything. This is a fun topic, I loved talking about this on the old totse/zoklet forums. Yeah I'm fuck old.
So I'd say barcoding is pretty simple - I'd avoid high risk areas, e.g. high shrink. so no electronics.
No automotives, no electronics at all, even toys are kinda getting there.
Tools were my get go for a bit, but it seems they're getting pretty popular now alongside DIY.
But, what you want is to, just one day, go shoping. The great part of walmart is the consistent layout - you don't need to go shopping at your local one, but just get your phone, go around, record what is a high price tag and see whats resellable at a good price.
Then find an item if average weight, you can go to the food/home aisle (also great, low shrink rate) grab a scale and weight crap. Find items of simialr weights, and there ya go.
I don't consider it worth it anymore, considering, years ago, you could just walk out with a shopping cart and no one would care, or, just fire exit out - or make your own coupon, which worked even on self checkout and if you were smart you didn't deposit it and just tricked the sensor to continue on lol.
Technically couponing does still work, but anything over $5-9.99 requires approval probably. I would probably just do it on food/personal use items, not for resell - though with current politics/inflation probably more theft on that now.
While I never got caught, I've only had friends that had close encounters at walmart trying to walk out with TV's lol after doing it a few times. Good ole days.
