COBLESKILL — Walmart employees are trained to provide a safe and friendly environment to their customers. The new anti-theft security systems are making it much easier for Walmart to catch someone who do not scan their items at self-checkout stations. They have computer vision technology to prevent inventory shrink from theft, fraud, and customer error. Cameras are used to monitor the station for items missed or not scanned and send the picture to a nearby employee. The employee can see everything you are purchasing through their handheld TC devices. If you are suspected of stealing, the device will pause and freeze. The transaction is paused because you are suspected of stealing. Although self-checkout saves time and boosts store productivity, it mostly benefits Walmart not the customer.
Chief of Police, James McCrum from the Cobleskill Police Department sent us more information about recent Walmart arrests.
