Anita’s revelation surprised some of her followers, but others were not shocked that people skip out on scanning some items.
The mother-of-two recorded herself holding a gadget that supposedly shows the items shoppers are scanning.
“Me at the self-checkout watch people steal as my scanner is telling me all their missed scans,” she wrote over the brief video.
Her eyes shot back and forth and she made a concerned face as she looked down at the gadget.
In the caption of the video Anita wrote “I see you” and included the hashtags #missedscans and #thatsmyjob.
Her followers shared their reactions in the comments section.
Some shoppers claimed that they never received appropriate training in order to avoid scanning mistakes.
“No one trained us, sorry, not sorry,” one person wrote.

Another person who claimed to work at the department store said that they are ambivalent towards shoplifters.
“I see it I can’t really do much and don’t get paid enough to really care,” they admitted.
This is not the first incident where employees have been left to deal with theft.
Recently, Walmart has been cracking down on shoplifters, resulting in new anti-theft measures that some shoppers have expressed concerns with.
Some customers make honest mistakes at the self-checkout stations, resulting in unintentional stealing that can cost shoppers thousands.
A lawyer has warned self-checkout users that Walmart is cracking down on stealing by collecting key information, including customers’ license plates.
Walmart has not immediately responded to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
