No, you get arrested for theft and your life is ruined. It's like making a bank deposit, claiming it's a check for a thousand dollars, when it's really your lunch receipt from a taco truck.

Best case scenario: when they realize you didn't really bring in a hundred bags, you think quickly enough to say it was inadvertent.

Some things simply aren't worth the risk.

And why do people always try to rip off crappy stores, like Walmart, Target and warehouse grocery stores? They're also the ones that go after shoplifters and other thieves, like people who do fraudulent returns, the most aggressively.

If I was going to roll the dice on committing a theft, I'd at least want to get something worthwhile.
Exactly just say I input 100 on accident. Anyway I was just there and brought more bags than I needed for two items so I said three bags and it gave me credit for three but I actually had more. Didn't end up using any of them actually. So three bags for two items it was okay with this. I doubt I'd get arrested especially cuz I claimed fewer bags than I actually had but surprised it let me claim three for two items.
