Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech::When Walmart’s anti-theft self-checkout tech alerts an employee of a missed scan, it can cause some uncomfortable situations.
I get this is was said playfully. However, you really should not. They always press charges and will advocate for jail time. In some states, that’s a month of jail over something as small as a candy bar.
Lol nah, if you get caught you were making it look too obvious. There’s a fine and subtle art to stealing from Walmart.
Have fun getting arrested 3 years later with the facial recognition technology
Not if you keep it under the felony limit, or just have the common sense to not piss off the employees.
Not true. I have unfortunately met people who were arrested for candy bars, a snickers specifically. Now with AI, they will track your face, find your address, and issue a warrant automatically. It doesn’t take any effort, because once the software is written, it just runs. I’m not anti-shoplifting. I am pro being informed before doing things.
Yeah no, that’s not happening at any Walmart anywhere, your claim is entirely baseless and without evidence.
Your friend probably did something to piss off the workers and it wasn’t stealing. It possibly could have been racism. Maybe even bad luck. But it is an exception that proves the rule.
Walmart doesn’t have or use AI like that. No one has been arrested for stealing from Walmart on the order of an AI. Unless you have evidence, this claim is dismissed.
I’ve personally witnessed it but fuck me right
Security is a cat and mouse game. There’s always a way to steal from anyone, especially a convenience-oriented business.
i’m not saying it’s impossible. Just saying that they make a big deal out of it even if the item is small, and it’s important to know your risk if you’re going to do something risky.
