    This isn’t about the weight sensors, it’s using “computer vision” to detect you didn’t scan something and forces employees to get involved.

    All the Walmarts I’ve been to have the bagging area weight sensors turned off. It seems the local grocery store finally turned theirs off because using a reusable bag used to set it off.

      Yeah, I got pinged twice, in one visit because I moved shit around, trying to organize.

      Way more false positives, in my opinions.
