When the machine doesn't work, I have zero recourse. And the single attendant, if available, has none either. Cashiers used to be able to manual pass an item. not anymore. So I can either leave the store without the item, or steal it and leave with what I came for. I choose the second option because it is more convenient. It only happened a couple time so far. The first time the attendant couldn't help me, so I just took it as it was for an urgent repair. The second time I didn't even bother the attendant. I did this in front of the cameras. I would pay if the system let me to.

> So I can either leave the store without the item, or steal it and leave with what I came for. I choose the second option because it is more convenient. This logic is the part that confuses me. It's more convenient to steal a car when you're walking, or mug someone than work a shift at your job. If I walk into a shop with an attendant and their point of sales system is down, I don't start taking whatever I want. Inconvenience doesn't justify crime.
