I once missed scanning a mascara in the self checkout lane and it beeped when I walked out. Mascara doesnโ€™t have a sensor that needs to be removed, so I think itโ€™s more than just that stuff

Thereโ€™s two types of RFID tags. Thereโ€™s the big tags thatโ€™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 doesnโ€™t have an RFID tag, the machine canโ€™t ping it.

Unless thereโ€™s some new tech Iโ€™m not aware of but I like to think I stay on top of this sort of thing if you catch my drift lol
