Honestly self checkout, in my opinion, is high risk low reward. The employees are there, trained to watch for stuff like that, and the intricate system of scales and cameras ensure it is difficult as well. And for what? One item? If I am to do it, I usually weigh an item as bananas and have bananas in the cart.
Walk outs are the way to go for high volume groceries. I used to do it at wholefoods. Felt very nice going home to my mom and siblings with 300$ worth of food when she had only given me 40$.
i think walmart has upped their self check out game and now has an AI or people watching cameras focused on what’s being scanned.. not entirely sure but have heard similar anecdotes of being caught doing self check out hooligans

Anyways, sorry to hear that you got caught.
