Yeah idk i think i'm out of the game, cameras are getting too good and i wouldn't put them past being able to use AI to tell who's actively pocketing stuff soon if they can't do that accurately already
Me and my friends, we call it anarchist calisthenics. I walked out of a Wallyworld a few weeks ago with about $100 worth of stuff that I'd paid for, and when we got back to the car, we magically had $150 worth of stuff. God truly works in mysterious ways ๐
It's always a cost-benefit analysis, and the benefits are moderate while the costs are high. It is not uncommon for a big box store to have 2% of their inventory lost to non-sales. As for AI, it misidentifies people more often than not, and you can always use a designated outfit, face-obscuring makeup to throw off the facial recognition, and a chip in your shoe to confound gait analysis.
Now if you appropriate hundreds of dollars at once, or thousands at the same store within a year, they have an incentive to catch you. But if it's piecemeal stuff, it's not worth their time.
