    When I worked at a grocery store about 40% of my time at self checkout was bypassing the security freeze because the camera thinks every customer is stealing if they scan products faster than 1 per 45 seconds and don’t put it on the bag scale within .44 seconds.

      If you don't mind, what store?

      Target just doesn't seem to give a shit. I'll take a product out of my big cooler bag in my cart, scan it a few times quickly because I got multiple, then put it back in the bag, no problem.
