When Walmart's anti-theft self-checkout tech alerts an employee of a missed scan, it can cause some uncomfortable situations.

Not at walmart, but one of our supermarkets in town has two self-checkouts. I tried them a few times, and they were so f-ed up that I gave up on them. One time, the machine did not accept any cash, but was stuck in the menu choice "pay by cash" without a "back" button. So I took my stuff to the normal checkout, which had the problem that my steaks had already been scanned. Solution: leave a bag of 20+ Euro meat at the checkout, and get a new one from the butchers shop.

Lol, that meat had a serial number.
Yes, if I get if from the butcher inside the supermarket, it has a "local" EAN13 barcode that "costs" the total of all parts I got.
Sounds like a badly configured system IMO. It shouldn't take things out of stock or prevent rescanning until the sale was actually made (the customer paid).
Meat heist is unironically a real thing
We hang cattle rustlers round here.....
Dang, from one 'local' establishment to the next.
And I bet you're paying more, too.
