Was at the self checkout at a local supermarket.  It was only for 15 items or less and we had maybe 18 items.  But the full service checkout lines were jammed up with people with carts full of stuff.  I wondered if the system would let us scan more than 15 items.  If not I figured I would just pay in two batches.

We also bought two sandwiches and a pint of coleslaw at the deli.  The guy making the sandwichs stuck labels on the polystyrene clamshell containers and told us we could take two bags of chips that came with the sandwiches, a lunch special.  So we did.

Halfway through checking out an alarm goes off.  I noticed there is an overhead video of us scanning and bagging groceries.  Two green boxes on the screen highlight me putting the two small bags of chips directly in our shopping bags.

A woman who worked at the store came over and asked: why didn’t you scan those chips? (but in a nice, even tired, way).  They came with the sandwiches. Well, you still have to scan them.  Ok, doesn’t really make sense, but whatever.  The woman used her badge, overriding the AI shoplifting detector, and let us finish bagging. I never did scan the chips.
