Comment on Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech

  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.

    I’m aware of those but I thought they only encode the cost. Like, if I were in your situation and went to scan a second time it would work.

    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).
