re: Wal-Mart self check out anti-theft AI

Walmart has a general policy with suspected self-checkout theft wherein if they believe it's going on (if they notice something in real time) they nicely give some reason to start you over at a different machine, and if they notice the same activity, they take you down to Chinatown.

To think, they really didn't used to have security scanners/beepers at the exits and for the most part didn't have the people at the exits checking receipts. All one had to do was sneak in a bag or two from that same store, fill it up, and walk right out under the pretense that you simply just got finished checking out. So I've been told by bad people.
