    There had been a couple times where I’d be shopping and Wal-Mart’s alert system at the door couldn’t catch the smaller items. Like, they’re honest mistakes too, not intentional. I would make it out to my vehicle, getting the bags in, until I find one object that went by undetected. Thought about just playing it as a mistake and not paying for it.

    Problem was, even if I did that, eventually I’d be confronted about it. I work for the company, they know me, they sure as hell probably seen me on camera throwing in that small object at somepoint and will use that. Just because the guy at the booth by the doors isn’t saying or doing anything or the store isn’t getting a hunch, doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking it.

    Anytime this has happened though, I have walked back in and paid for that thing. But sometimes even when I know I scanned everything and paid for them, faulty alarms go off anyways so it’s like they’re bipolar.
