Thanks for explaining all that better than I could. I’m not even 100% sure that stoplift was the program that Walmart uses for sure. I got dinged by it one day, and remembered the article you posted below. Stoplift was the first thing I found when I googled it.

Yeah, they’ve got cameras above the self check. They run some sort of shrink reduction software (https://www.stoplift.com/) that can verify the thing that you’re scanning matches the upc label or something. I’ve had it go off on me when doing legit shopping at Walmart. The one I go to will actually play a loop of you scanning whatever it was, until the rep turns it off.

I’ve done one from Best Buy. A pair of Powerbeats Pro, and an Apple Pencil. They got dropped off at my door with no signature. I waited a few hours, and called bb cs. Told them I just returned from work, and it shows as delivered, but there was no box, checked with my neighbors, etc.

They asked if I wanted a refund, or a reorder. I said I felt uncomfortable having it delivered again, because of the theft, so I’d rather get a refund and buy it in store. They went for it.

(Disclaimer: I’m a bb elite member, so that might have greased the wheels a bit.)
