I was at smart and final some months ago and the barcode on my steaks wouldn't scan. I told the cashier to just enter it manually and he said, "Not for what they pay me." And put it in my bag for free.
The amount of free hot food I've gotten at my local grocery store because the sticker printer from the deli keeps smudging the barcode. They might try two or three times, but if it doesn't scan by them they just put in the bag. I'd say 1 in 4 times I get at least one container/bag of free food.
I hit up Walmart or Safeway an hour before close and they just load my box up and call t the $5 special. I've gone home with 3 pounds of chicken strips for $5.
