A woman identifying herself as Nesha on TikTok went viral on the platform after filming herself stealing products at the Walmart self-checkout. She was caught by AI security cameras and published the video.
“POV: When you usually don’t get caught and now you’re banned for 2 years from all Walmarts in my area,” she wrote in the text of the video, which has over 2 million views.
Nesha is seen scanning some products, but then she pretends to scan a backpack before putting it in her bag. The register screen displays a notification of “employee on the way,” preventing the purchase and the theft. She was escorted out by the police and the manager.
Walmart has implemented technology to combat theft at self-checkout stations. The scanning error detection system was introduced in 2017 and uses AI-powered cameras to identify thefts, according to Business Insider.
