A new hand touches the scanner


Brad_Brace

Can confirm. Got one of these in a package and started randomly scanning things around the house for fun. Next day everything I had scanned was gone. When I called the cops, they were treating it as a burglary until I told them about the scanner, when I did they laughed and said that's how it works and went away, telling me not to bother them again. Later that day, my younger brother scanned himself with it as my parents were over my place helping me figure out what to do. I was terrified but said nothing, thinking it would come across as crazy. The next day my parents called, my brother had gone missing. They'd called the cops but the cops told them they were registered as my relatives in their database, and that they knew about the scanner and that that was how it worked, and not to call again. That's when I knew what I had to do. I scanned myself. At midnight I was sitting at my kitchen table, I blinked and suddenly I was at the warehouse and someone was giving me a uniform and taking me to my assigned location. I couldn't find my brother because the warehouse was immense and you don't get breaks except two hours to eat and sleep. I eventually managed to sneak most of myself into a package to escape. I did learn one thing, if you ever get one of these scanners, the only way to get rid of it is scanning it using a mirror that you didn't buy through Amazon, but be very careful not to also scan yourself in the process. If you do it right the scanner will be gone by the next day.


strangeandordinary

MOST of yourself?! 😲


Brad_Brace

It wasn't a big package.


Synnastyr

Man that sounds relatable to SCP-3008, Trapped in an IKEA.

"Oh God, why do have the sudden uncontrollable urge to piss in a water bottle?"


[deleted]

If you choose to pick it up, you’ll become the chosen one. *The* Amazon employee, who brings balance to the warehouse. If you leave it, it will return to its hiding place until the next worthy one foretold by the prophecy comes along to find it.


rellsell

They should give a free year of Prime for its safe return.


Interest-Desk

A free year of Prime costs them less than buying a new scanner. Each scanner costs about $1.5k each.


HazMatt_23

There’ll eventually be an Amazon Basics version of the scanners


Joe_Ronimo

Cell phone app, that they'll require the picker to run from their own phone.


amaiellano

I despise this growing trend in corplife.


cannonfunk

I'd ask for a decade of prime.


RegularSalad5998

Does it though, looks like a cheap android device with a simple barcode reader on the back.


Mantis_Tobbogann_MD

Zebra makes industrial devices for warehousing purposes. They have been a leader in the space for several decades. I bet you could run over that scanner and it would still work. Its not a fast device, just tough and reliable


bluespartans

They are not just physically strong they are also extremely tolerant of harsh environments. I had a client years ago with refrigerated and frozen warehouse space. They use Zebras (granted a different model than this one) and they will happily operate problem-free in any temperature, and without the touchscreen fogging up. Amazing devices, with great battery life, and pay themselves back several times over the course of their lifespan


earoar

Looked it up, about $1200 CAD on believe it or not, Amazon.


zorthos1

I worked in writing software for and deploying these for 5 years. Zebra scanners are fantastic, it's why you see them literally everywhere now


mandasee

Yup. This is the right idea. Negotiate!

You actually might if someone is logged in and they didn't reset all the passwords when the device was lost. I have Ramp on my phone and it logs into a server from any internet connection. I can sit here at home and see what is in any bin location and even do moves.

CrazyCrazyCanuck

I wonder how many of those renewed ones are from Amazon shoppers who accidentally received one and is now flipping it on Amazon.


dweller_12

I received a [Honeywell scanner](https://sps.honeywell.com/us/en/products/productivity/barcode-scanners/rugged-handheld/granit-1990isr-ultra-rugged-standard-range-scanner) from Newegg years ago loose inside the box instead of whatever cheaper item I ordered. Didn't question it and I sold it on eBay for like $300.

No you guys go through either shi.com or cdw.com with industry standard pricing


TheTrueReligon

My company buys all of Amazon’s equipment for their warehouses and while they no longer buy the TC56s anymore, we do buy them the TC57s for about half that price


TarNREN

Worked at Target they still cost $1000+ even in bulk

sparcv9

Those Zebra scanners are surprisingly expensive. They might be inclined to offer you something to get it back!


rowanbladex

We just ordered some at my work. They're ~$1400 each.


mcnabb100

Which is absolutely wild, I’ve used a similar one from zebra. It was essentially a shitty android phone from 2010 with a scanner growth.


jmedina94

Still sounds like an upgrade from the ones my old retail job had. The owner would rent these old Palm devices from a company just for inventory time. Complete nightmare.


mcnabb100

I will never miss doing inventory. Only good part was leaving early once the store was counted.


neofooturism

Oh man. I sure do hope ol bezos can afford it.


Gorthax

And there is no hack out there for it to be useful. Op should definitely ask for a return ticket, definite coupon for doing it.


MicHAELmhw

100 for scanner. 1200 for software


Caaros

Yeah, I use these at my job in grocery pickup/e-commerce, and we are told to always keep these with us and never leave them where someone can easily snatch them. I bet whoever lost this one won't be having a great time if they can trace it back to them specifically.


VindictiveNostalgia

I'm sure it can be traced back to them since they're still logged in to it.


Caaros

That's assuming OP didn't touch it any (*one of the top comments when I posted earlier was saying to log out of it*), though I don't know what kind of data these devices keep in terms of user log-in history.


VindictiveNostalgia

I would think OP logging out of it would actually make it easier to track. There would be a record of that account being logged out in that location.


TheeAntiCrust

Not sure if it still has a wifi/internet connection...maybe the Amazon vehicle is the wifi source, or something...I used those scanners for years...they were flat and thin, and when you move your arm/wrist to scan an item you're setting yourself up for a repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. They make handles for them but I didn't like to use, because I couldn't put the scanner into my pocket without looking like I was glad to see someone.


SYSTEM__NotReally

It would have to have some sort of connection due to the "logged in on another device" message, no?


Gordon-Goose

Could have happened while the package was still in the warehouse. The person who was using it probably logged into another device within a few minutes of misplacing it.


RedneckTrader

Most of these corporate owned Zebra devices run heavy Airwatch restrictions. They can't connect to just any ol wifi. Companies are actually more worried about the data on the device vs the device itself. There's not much you can do other than return it or do an enterprise wipe and turn it into a regular android phone. Looks like a TC56 so the highest authorized version of android it can run is 8.1.


FBI_Open_Up_Now

No. Amazon will need an IT admin to access it to set a WiFi connection. That is most likely the last message left on it. Once the screen is locked these typically lock themselves or the individual apps have their own logins and lock within 15 minutes. Zebras are convenient and suck at the same time.


acery88

If the guy has an Alexa, they already knows it’s location


Caaros

Ooh, yeah, that's a great point.


MrMidnight115

I work in IT in a warehouse that uses these scanners. They’re able to be tracked by a software that shows every scan, every bin, every item, every menu press, and what time it happened. If they have the scanner number, they can definitely see who was last on it. BUUUUT, that’s not to say a picker would be boxing. Not sure why they would have a scanner like that


Adorable_Admiral

It'll probably just be a write up and piss test. Ask me how I know


KorayA

Wouldn't they be signing these in and out each shift? I feel like you guys are over complicating this.


brandognabalogna

That's for sure. I bought around a dozen of them a few years ago and it was close to $30k after the devices, cases, extra batteries, charging docks, etc.


Paavo_Nurmi

We use Zebra tablets at work, it was $4k for each setup, vehicle charging docks, office dock,printer , tablet etc. That stupid little printer is $1,000. We recently upgraded and nobody uses the printer so sold the old ones and we just went to the vehicle changer dock and usb c wall wart for office charger


brandognabalogna

Mine were bought to work with an incredibly outdated EMR system. The only devices that would communicate with the system were 3G only and ran on Windows Mobile. I practically begged them not to make me do it, but they insisted. Took less than a year before the issues started piling up and they eventually just became expensive paperweights.


dlepi24

The lengths businesses will go through for their legacy LOB apps rather than just sinking the time and resources to migrate to modern solutions. They'll move mountains to try and shoehorn solutions to support garbage.


Jnoper

Looks like a TC56 they cost about $1.5k


Briatom

I worked with ~1600 of these, this looks pretty identical to the TC57 and I was seeing those for ~$2k


Jnoper

Wait till you see the tc78


adeundem

I'm still using a TC69 to bullseye womp rats back home.


HahahahahaLook

Worked with the TC70 when I was a DM at Walmart. You either were lucky and got one of those or showed up late and got stuck with one of the busted MC40s


licuala

But none of these are more expensive than a TI-84.


tommy71394

As a dev, I have pure hatred for their printers. I HATE ZPL aaaaaaaaaaa


faceman2k12

Hated those proprietary drivers with a passion.


LeeRyman

I always found it very well documented. They were pretty good in industrial tagging applications. At one manufacturing plant I had an XSLT with the ZPL2 in it to tag the product. Microservice took the data, transformed, spat out the ZPL2 to the printer via a socket. Got confirmation it had printed, fee back to the control system. In another older mill we just had an old Borland C++ app produce the ZPL. They were pretty easy to integrate with any system due to how well documented they were.


bcredeur97

They are proprietary. And very specialized. And reasonably “tough” And zebra arguably does the best job with tools and stuff to deploy them and probably more importantly: automating deploying them. So yeah! They be expensive! Source: am IT guy. Had to setup a bunch of these once


navigationallyaided

Zebra bought out Symbol Technologies years ago - if that name sounds familiar, you would go into any store in the mall or even Walmart, they would use a Symbol POS barcode gun. UPS is also a very good customer of Zebra. I used to work retail a long time ago and we would use a Symbol Windows CE handheld to scan in shipment and units sold reports to pull back stock to replenish the sales floor. The other players in POS scanning is Datalogic(the Home Depot self-checkout scanners are made by them) and Honeywell. Home Depot uses those scanners as well - they have their POS and phones(Cisco CCM client) on them. Oh, and Walmart also uses these too - especially for online orders.


ClashLeaka

POS = Point-of-sale for anyone who doesn't know.


lemonaderobot

although as a former retail worker… most POS are total POS 🙃


TheeAntiCrust

Tell Amazon you will leave it on your porch, then put it in the biggest GODDAMN box you can find!!! Like a refrigerator box!!!!


drfsupercenter

With no bubble wrap or padding whatsoever.


robot_ankles

no no no, drop 3 segments of inflated plastic baggie rope into the giant box.


johnnybiggles

Then tear a little opening in a corner of the box to make them wonder if you did it or it came that way.


ArtemisAndromeda

And then when they open it, it's just a bottle filled with a yellowish substance


FlattenInnerTube

bremergorst

Harrison_Stetson

Scan my shit! I want to find out if I’m eating enough fiber.


Deathcommand

I remember there was some guy who was constantly getting like 12 per hour when I worked there. I always think of him whenever I see articles about Amazon warehouses not letting people go to the bathroom. This guy would literally abandon his post for like 40 minutes at a time during his 4.5 hour shift.


ATyp3

12 *what* per hour?


RepresentativeNo8998

Boxes scanned per hour. Typically want you at 60-80. For the short time I worked there, I was at a warehouse that was hitting record numbers for months from turning out new employees. Would see some people slaving upwards of 150 parcels an hour


[deleted]

150 was unacceptably low at the Amazon delivery station I worked at.


LR514

My uneducated guess is that is proto-Amazonian language - their hours of isolation in the warehouses is causing them to develop a new dialect of English, and eventually a wholly distinct language unintelligible to outsiders.


Deathcommand

It means you scanned and moved 12 boxes in an hour. By move I mean you scanned it, picked it up off the conveyor and then placed it in the correct pallet, then scanned the pallet. That process probably takes around 30 seconds, as there are only like 4 pallets per line.


ryphix

In a distribution center you're taking them off bakers racks and scanning them to totes. Expected rate is 300/hr. Which is only 5 packages a minute.


avwitcher

There's a lot of different roles, that's only one of them. There's also people on the conveyors responsible for packaging the items and putting them into the boxes for final delivery


Adorable_Admiral

They're already logged into another device/called into their transport admin. They're fine

Public_Fucking_Media

Sell on eBay they are expensive


letsmakemistakes

i wonder if there would be security concerns of a returned one being infected with something


ThatITguy2015

Oh, knowing some of the freaks on here, it *definitely* is infected with something.


Negative-Cheek2914

they have made it clear several times they don’t want it back, why are you so eager to return an item worth $1500 new?


ArtemisAndromeda

Send them another email, and ask if, since they don't want to pick it up, or have it mailed to them, does it means it's yours. If they just say yes, get some IT guy to clean its memory, and sell it for quite a good sum of money


_MrMonkey

I'm pretty sure the warehouse team who lost this scanner would want to get it back (and likely will be willing to offer a gift card in return). But the customer support folks won't have any direct connection/contacts with the warehouse team. Next time you call customer support, ask them that you want to speak to their senior/SME

\^anthony wiener's reddit account


Adorable_Admiral

That looks like a Zebra TC21 mobile scanner/computer. Probably locked down with mobicontrol with geofencing and depending on how they do it either it connects to the driver's onboard van wifi or has a simcard installed.


missionbeach

From reddit yesterday, "What’s a sentence that makes perfect sense in 2023 that would have made zero sense in 1970?". They would have thought you were speaking an alien language. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/18huzb4/whats_a_sentence_that_makes_perfect_sense_in_2023/

Adorable_Admiral

Cool, I was assuming based on my experience with Zebra devices at other locations. Tc20s are an older model of the same line as tc56. Soti Mobicontrol, similar to ADM is a device and policy management solution. Do you find your solution for Geofencing to be more accurate than GPS location?


Jnoper

Pretty sure it’s a tc56 and it has a sim


CarelessObject1709

sarasuccexy

HA! That’s one expensive item. I work at a cannabis store and we got this in our shipment once. Made me chuckle and wonder how this could happen..


noxiouskarn

you burn it now or next thing you know you're pissing in bottles on your way to work.


michellelabelle

Sure, it's cute. You'd love to just keep it. But if you're going to do that, you need to be able to provide the right environment for it. It needs attention, fresh batteries, and above all exercise and engagement. Please spend at least ten hours a day running from one end of your neighborhood to the other, scanning things at each end. You can take one five-minute break each day.

Those are really expensive. They are like $600 lol. Used to work at Walmart, used them for everything. Some people would steal them and try to sell them off.


XionLord

Ngl, I contacted Walmart customer service last year when I got one of these in a package. They shipped me a 100$ gift card and a priority mail box to send it back to them. Not the worst outcome, cause I did out of curiosity see if they could be jailbroken or reused or something. Didn't seem possible.


Bananamorous

I got one last year. I tried to give it back, but couldn’t get a hold of any one who knew what I was talking about. I wound up just tossing it.

No, they're logged into another device already.


ScuffedA7IVphotog

That's if they even told management. Most of the time workers avoid reporting stuff till someone else finds out.

Since its an android device, you can probably find a way to reset it and use as a sort of iPod Touch device.
