Not such a grape idea, was it, buddy?

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports a man was nabbed at the self-checkout line at the Western Avenue Shaw's hitting the banana price for the red grapes he'd put on the scale.

Stop And Stop is selling Red Grapes at $2/lb conventional, $3/lb organic, according to peapod.

Even if bananas were 50 cents a pound, that'd be well over 10 pounds of grapes.

Why does that not seem right?

It's a sign of the times. Desparate people take desperate measures. Let's try to catch the billion dollar crooks first shall we?

Don't make excuses for criminal behavior. There's plenty of food banks and government largess for the hungry.

This guy got arrested for switching something expensive for something cheap, thus paying less than he should have. There were about 20 businesses and business owners identified in today's Globe for running the same scam from the other end, secretly switching products in order to charge people more. Will they be arrested for fraud and larceny as well?

Self checkouts are a scam themselves.
