I'll admit, my first thoughts were "How can I exploit this system? How would I place sensors? What kind of sensors? Pressure plates? Cameras? IR trackers?" etc

And I'm no shoplifter, never done that, I just tinker with stuff all the time. It's a kind of occupational psychosis. Same with lockpicks.
- TulliusCicero 10y agoYeah, but ultimately it's pretty easy to steal from a lot of regular stores too, and most people just...don't. Because they're not thieves.

- joezydeco 10y agoMy take is that a foil-lined bag will bypass the whole system.
- chris11 10y agoI think that could easily be detected if they wanted to. It sounds like they may be tracking your store movements and what items you pick up, so it would be odd if a shopper carrying items walked out of the store without registering any of the bought items.
- cobookman 10y agoIf the cost of sensors + additional theft is less than the cost of the removed salespersons. Then the system makes business sense.
- csears 10y agoI thought it might be vulnerable to a human DOS-attack, where a flash mob of shoppers wearing similar cloths and/or masks all walk in at the same time, grab items, pass them around, and then all try to leave at once.
