it gets me because i'm tall and i'll crack open my wallet and get my shoppers card out.
the camera thinks i'm fake scanning an item from the time i crack the wallet to when i scan then card. it's stupid. i guess it works though.
what really works is a watchful eye. i saw a dude scan a case of beer and when it tells him to wait for id he just walks out like he bought it. this old broad went after him and dude had to walk back.
