Edit : Changed link to non AMP one.

Edit2 : Apparently I HAVE to use the original shitty title from the article.

Grocery theft is on the rise but we won't tax the rich or bring back down the prices, we will jail those in need instead.

Money is better spent in the police forces anyway /s

I wouldn't even consider it all intent to steal. Our Walmart is nothing but self checkouts and they put the oldest slowest dude at there only checkout. My friend walked out without scanning the cat food at the bottom of her cart and we didn't realize until the parking lot. No one has training so you can't expect 100% success.

Seriously, if they want to switch most of their workforce to unpaid, untrained cashiers, they’re going to get mistakes.
