  What employees… there is one cashier now watching 50 customers fuck up at scanning…
context: She was scanning her items when she caught the attention of a loss prevention officer who was watching the store's surveillance video feeds. 
  The officer saw that Bell "took one item in her right hand and another in her left hand, proceeded to scan the item in her left hand, but not the item in her right hand," according to the agreed statement of facts.
  Bell placed both items into her bin and continued, the loss prevention officer noted, until she paid her bill for the items she scanned and headed to the exit.
  The loss prevention officer then caught up with her and arrested her in the vestibule between the exit doors. Once she was back inside the store, Bell identified herself as an Ottawa police officer.
  The store determined that Bell paid for groceries totalling $87.46, while stealing items worth $87.68, nearly the exact same amount.
  
  So, no, an officer didn't have a "senior" moment of forgetting to ring up a bell pepper. She intentionally tried to game the system and got caught. >
  
  I get nervous about this sometimes lol. I have no idea how closely they watch at stores or how much they let go but I'm always thinking I'm gonna fuck up and steal a can of soup or something
  Honestly it's made me go to a real cashier when I have a lot of stuff to get through >
  
  My local Walmart is pretty fancy... The self checkout has an AI or something watching you scan. Any suspicious scanning and it immediately calls for assistance, and you can't scan until a worker clears it. Happened to me a few days ago because I scanned something, turned to show my wife (went slightly out of frame), and turned back to put it in the bag. The machine stopped me and showed me a clip for my suspicious scan (which did look a little sus).
  Canadian Walmarts really have someone watching self checkout screens all day? >

  Judging by the \~3 minutes it took for someone to give me a bag when I pressed the "ask for assistance button", I'm guessing not.

  They have cameras and scales and it shows you the footage of yourself on screen, but I've never seen it replay it (although I'm not there often). >
  
  Walmart self checkouts are gonna turn into shoplifting highlight reels with big screen TVs running weekly "Top 10 Most Suspicious" categories like Sportscenter but for shoplifting. Which is ironic because Walmart loves stealing wages from their employees.
