The UX is right but the business logic is strange. It's obvious it's entirely possible to casually walk out with goods you didn't pay for. I've done it a few times by accident and returned to pay. How many people don't return to pay? If you have say, 70,000 unique customers in a year the loss could add up quickly. The only way I could imagine this working is having some flex in the budget for theft that is being used up by these systems. In that case, it might be that "encouraging" people to steal smaller, cheaper items may save you on theft of big ticket items. So much so it's worth it.
