The former Walmart worker said that employees are told to pretend there's a problem with the machine the customer is using instead of jumping to conclusions so that it doesn't come across as aggressive. Once the employee approaches the alleged thief, they simply directed the shopper to a checkout line with an actual human working the register. When the employee scans the alleged shoplifter's entire purchase in a standard fashion, the shoppers aren't immediately blamed for thievery, while staff ensures that all products are properly purchased.
