When I go to Wal-Mart I go to the self-check out and pay for some cheapo items while slipping more expensive items across the scanner without ringing them up. About a week ago, one of the items I didn't ring up set off an alarm. I was able to play it off like a mistake, thankfully that was the only item I snuck out.
No reports were filed, the manager didn't even come over. Though the guy watching the exit did speak into his microphone thing.
I'm wondering how safe I need to play it. Will they be watching me extra closely from here on out? Do I need to lay off the lifting for a week? Should I go to a different Wal-Mart? Different grocery store altogether?

I'd lay low for like a month or less. The guy most likely spoke into his mic to say the alarm was bogus. Think about it, the alarm when off, you played it off, and he reported it as a false ring.
