Yep, decoding is what it's called & it's fraud. Remind them of that when they say that "if it scans, it should be taken".
Even Krazycouponlady had a blog condoning it.
I check out her site all the time and have NEVER seen her CONDONE decoding or ANY kind of fraud (other than doing multiple transactions, which, I guess, isn't "technically" fraud). I think on the $8.00 Huggies thread, someone posted a link to her site where she expressly calls this out as fraud and discourages it!
I actually had one of our own cashiers accuse me of this because I had a ton of items and a ton of coupons and she didn't go back far enough on the register to see that I actually HAD purchased what the coupons called for. She didn't recognize me because I was in "regular clothes" (although she had already scanned my employee discount card). She called over the LOD, who said "ummm....I doubt SHE'S scamming us" as I was pulling the items out of the bags in the cart. She didn't even apologize, either....then again, this was the same one who refused to let me scan my turkey even when I WAS dressed in red & khaki :huh:
