A Walmart I visited recently had a camera at ankle level specially to show the bottom of your cart for the cashier to see.

Another store (I forget which) had a full cart camera and prompted me to check my cart for remaining items because I had unused reusable bags in it.

I've seen that, now that you mention it. It must have been on a trip. None nearby have it.

That's a new one. I'm not sure if getting flagged would be more annoying than having to go back.

My last few trips have required an employee override because I left the paper ad circular in the cart. Put it in a bag and get dinged for bagging something not scanned, don't bag it and get dinged for something in the cart.

Have you tried eating it before getting to the check out?
