Seriously. I’m kind of shook by how they knew. I’m not dumb about shit.
Went to self checkout and scanned one item and tossed the other item in the bag with it. (This could have triggered something in the back although it has never been an issue before today.)
When I’m walking out two people try to get me to come with them. I say no and bump them out of my way but one grabs the item I didn’t scan from my bag and I walk out of there.
I never try to hide my identity when I steal (which is every now and then) so that Walmart gots my number now. But im still perplexed on how they knew.
No more stealing for me

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$.
Anyways, sorry to hear that you got caught.
