    Don’t stress it, as long as you don’t make it a habit nothing will come from it lol. They only get ya if ya steal over certain amount, I want to say north of $1k.

    When self checkouts were new, I accidentally stole a 4pk of mugs lol!! I had placed some bags on top of them without realising and didn’t end up scanning them. 2 have since broke, but I still have the other 2 haha

    I think it happens quite a bit, it’s rather easy to do. Especially if you expect the sensors to go off but they don’t haha

      I stole soooooo many bags when they first started charging for them. My local store decided to make it “easier” by putting the bags in the bagging area like where those grey plastic ones used to live and expecting you to scan a barcode they taped to the self checkout. That didn’t last very long. You had everybody stealing them, even grandmas were forgetting 😂

      Even once I removed them sometimes I’d forget (genuinely) I had to scan every bag, not just the first one
