[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 295010, member: 27"] WalMart used to have the area with the self-check registers walled off and have the machines close together so the supervisor could make sure everyone was playing by the rules (not 'tricking' the machine or failing to scan all their items, the usual shoplifting stuff). You knew you were under video surveillance and it was all "tight", security-wise. At some point they seem to have adopted an "Ehhh, close enough" policy, where the supervisor of the area doesn't wander around checking to see if you ring up the organic tomato as a conventional tomato, or if you "forget" that bag of chips on the bottom of the cart. Keeping the line moving and getting the most people through seems more important than losing a few stray items to intentional or unintentional losses, what some call "shrink". Frankly I can't recall the last time I heard that announcement about the "unexpected object in the bagging area" in WalMart, though I'm sure it will sound if the 'mistake' is costly enough. But if the overall shrink due to the "relaxed" self-checks reaches a certain level, someone higher-up might decide the human cashiers are financially viable again. [/QUOTE]
