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.

Sounds like what the gangs of gypsies have been doing for a while. Confusing the cashier.

Either the worker wasn’t trained in scams, or the training didn’t stick.

Never, ever, let the customer dictate the sequence of events. Conclude one full transaction before starting another one.

Search “quick change artists” for some videos of how scammers work and how to prevent scamming.
