    I’ve stopped using self checkout due to the number of news stories around stores accusing people of shoplifting for scanning something the wrong way.

    Don’t tell me to do your job if you’re going to accuse me of doing it poorly and then have the police arrest me for it.

      Grocery stores where I recently lived (Denver) don’t even stop people walking out with entire carts of groceries. It’s corporate policy not to because the risk of injury to employees or the shoplifter outweighs the cost of the lost merchandise.
