When they went into the Grovetown, GA Walmart, they confused the cashier. They made several card transactions, allowing them to make off with products. Asking the cashier to allow them to press the “cash” button, it seemed as if they paid cash for their items. As a result, their credit cards were not charged, and they left with $3,400 in merchandise, along with $3,000 in gift cards.

Can someone who has worked retail translate to real life?   This makes no sense.

I to thank you for that link above.   Why didn't this article say that the credit cards were fake?

From another article:

“They made several transactions with the cashier, purchasing the items as well as gift cards and using a card to pay for the items.

The thieves asked the cashier to use the “cash” button on the register for their card to work.

This caused the register to ring up the sale as if cash was being paid, so it didn’t charge the thieves’ card.”

When you go thru the check out line the device ask if you
are paying by cash or credit. Apparently the worker wasn’t
paying attention to what was going on.
