Why wouldn't it be shoplifting here if it is at any other store? If the cashiers and loss prevention officers don't notice you walking out with merchandise in your pocket, is it somehow worse because their eyes and brains are made of flesh instead of plastic and metal?
- dannyw 9y agoWell, you don’t know what the system registers until you walk out and get an email receipt a couple of minutes later.
- prawn 9y agoAnd for a shopping list of more than a handful of items, even reviewing the receipt wouldn't necessarily mean you spot things that were missed.
- 794CD01 9y agoTrue. That sounds like a fine excuse for the accidental cases. When you are deliberately making an attempt to deceive the system, that is where it crosses the line.
- dx034 9y agoIt's the same as if you give an item to the cashier and the cashier fails to scan it. I don't think that's shoplifting.
- 794CD01 9y agoIf you are presenting your items to the system normally and they fail to register it, yes. If you are hiding the item in your jacket or cart to deliberately avoid the cashier's attention, that is shoplifting.
