    So long as after the person does self checkout you have someone manually confirm they scanned all the items.

    I applaud the massive theft from Walmart people pissed off with having to pay and scan their own shit have been pulling off.

      That doesn’t happen here. They do spot checks sometimes on big scan and go shops where they pick 5 or so random items to scan to confirm you’ve done it right but you only get selected like 10% of the time.

      Manual confirmation of ALL checkouts is like manual audit of ALL tax filings. Neither happen, but the occasional audit of 1 out of 200 keeps people honest.

      Wouldn’t that be trivial to avoid with an RFID? Check the RFID when the product comes in, keep it in a database until someone pays for it. If it leaves before it’s paid for, alert security.
