My grocery store has added an automated narc cam that plays back a video of you putting the item into the bag when it thinks you didn't scan it.
haven't seen that, can you hide items behind bigger items tho ?
From what I can tell it seems pretty hit or miss and it doesn't actually do anything with the information - no one tried to check my receipt when I triggered it.
Wal Mart near me has this
But they have a scan gun I just use on 'everything', then bag up after
Seems a bit self defeating lmao
When do they play this video? While you are in the middle of scanning items through the self-checkout or when you complete it? Is it accompanied by a frowny face or some other sign of disapproval to shame you?
After you bag the offending item. The video plays and a loud voice passive-aggressively reminds you to make sure you've scanned everything before bagging.
It does this if you go too fast too. Even if you're not stealing.
