The only real way to rort much is to select the cheaper variety
of fruit and veg when buying fruit and veg loose. Like selecting
the cheaper variety of potatoes when buying the more expensive
potatoes, or saying its lemons when its limes etc. And its really
only the males than can get away with that last if the goon
pulls them up on that and they can plead ignorance.

Sure, you can sometimes pull a swifty when the goon
is trying to make a self checkout work which is broken,
but that doesn't happen all that often enough to lose much.
