I’d say modern security programs would tag such a thing, but Fred Meyer got 200 hours of footage of someone I knew stealing before they made a move, so maybe they wouldn’t be that particular.
Walmart does that. They don’t prosecute people for petty shoplifting, but they keep track. When the cumulative total hits felony level theft, they prosecute.
Oh no oooo I accidentally forgot to scan the most expensive item and still removed the tags oh noooooooooo
Ah, damn, I forgot to weight the item again so it’s being sold at 0lbs, my bad.
Oh shit my dudes I accidentally returned an extra two items the customer didn’t actually bring in.
What can I say, I’m a clumsy and forgetful cashier. (just not in the company’s favor)

That’s probably just so the cops can pin heftier charges

I think this is general for most stores.
It makes sense, considering the majority of petty crimes are for a lower value then the gas police would use to get on scene.
