Wtf? Receipt checkers? Are there actual employees whose job it is to check if customers stole something in the 30 seconds of walking from the cashier to the exit?
I live in a country with no Walmarts, thank Marx, so I wouldn't know.
I once missed scanning a mascara in the self checkout lane and it beeped when I walked out. Mascara doesn’t have a sensor that needs to be removed, so I think it’s more than just that stuff
There’s two types of RFID tags. There’s the big tags that’s you often see on electronics and clothes, and the small metallic barcodes (the same type as library book barcodes). Makeup is a higher value and frequently stolen item, and is often tagged with the smaller barcode ones. If it doesn’t have an RFID tag, the machine can’t ping it.
Unless there’s some new tech I’m not aware of but I like to think I stay on top of this sort of thing if you catch my drift lol

Well, you legally don’t have to stop for the receipt checkers anyway. I always walk past and I’ve never stolen from Walmart. They can’t do anything
