the cameras are looking. and they're getting better with time.
more than once i've had an attendant come over (from a different area, out of sight range) check my bags, cart, and screen because they were notified of a possible 'mis-scan'. by who? i dunno if it was automated or from LP.
and it's always been for some cheap little shit like a tub of sour cream or can of veggies or something. never 'found' anything, though.
Walmart actually has some computer vision thing monitoring it now at some stores. It locks the register until an attendant comes over, scans their badge and it shows video of what it thinks you did so they can check
My job does this too
