In this situation at Wally World how about not scanning a few
purchases. Just put them in the carry out bag and move along.
Undoubtedly they have some kind of alarms to show items not scanned
I assume they will do what they do now, have one Person overseeing eight Self Check Stations and someone at the Door checking Receipts.
The area with the bags can sense the change in weight. If you skip the scanner you can’t put it in the bag without an alarm sounding. And you can’t walk by the person the exit with goods not in bags.
Not unless it’s a more expensive item with an RFID attached.
A local forty year old started doing what you suggest last year. She was on camera over ten times.
When they finally caught her she got off with probation since it was a first offense.
Anytime you see a police cruiser parked in front of a Walmart, they’re in the store to check out “home” videos. The ones I’ve caught heading in have always responded positively when I asked about shoplifting.

In my neck of the woods, I don’t know how they know you haven’t scanned stuff, though they know.
On two separate occasions as different Walmart stores (pre-COVID), I saw shoppers being stopped by store security for having items in their bags which were not scanned. Not sure about the contents of one of the shoppers; the other had meats they had not scanned.
Security did not look amused and I don’t think they were going to let it just go away.
