I think easy cheating is dropping the leading ‘9’ from organic foods (or selecting the non-organic option from the menu) since you can feign ignorance if caught.
One time I accidentally didn’t take out the item from the bottom of my cart (I think it was paper towels), scanned everything else, put the bags in my cart, and headed out. Then I noticed it and went back to scan the big item in a separate transaction. That would have been another possibility with plausible deniability. You could theoretically steal some real $ that way, a big fat organic turkey for example.

Trump threatens 100 percent tariffs on Canadian goods over China deal
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/01/24/trump-canada-100-percent-tariff-threat/
... Trump on Saturday threatened to impose 100 percent tariffs on all Canadian goods if the country “makes a deal with China,” a week after he said Prime Minister Mark Carney striking a trade deal with Beijing was “good” and what he “should be doing.”
“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life.”

Yup, he is running into the same problems Biden had, and he is quickly losing the timeframe where is thinks he can blame Biden for his current economic problems.

South Korean officials found themselves scrambling on Tuesday morning after waking up to a social media post from President Donald Trump announcing a fresh hike in tariffs on their country.
Trump said he would raise levies from 15 percent to 25 percent on autos, lumber, pharmaceuticals and all other goods affected by “Reciprocal TARIFFS” that are shipped from South Korea to the United States, citing the South Korean legislature’s failure to approve a trade deal he had reached with Seoul in July. “Why hasn’t the Korean Legislature approved it?” Trump wrote in the post.
