    A Kansas City, Kansas, police officer pinned down a Walmart
    customer and knelt on his neck after accusing him of stealing
    a $5 frozen pizza - despite the 24-year-old man having a
    receipt for the purchase.

    Dayton Borisouth, 24, claims he was tackled to the ground
    on June 1 inside a Kansas Walmart store after he refused
    to show an off-duty officer his receipt - as he didn't
    think he was legally obligated to show one.

    . . .

    Lesson one - NEVER EVER use "self-checkout". If that's
    all that's offered, LEAVE THE STORE AND SHOP ELSEWHERE.
    The fuckin' robots pretty much ALWAYS screw up.

    Lesson two - WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE steal using the
    self-checkout lane. The store/cops WILL always
    be VERY suspicious. They have good reason, so,
    well, See Lesson One.

    So will these stores LEARN Lesson Three - hire HUMANS
    for checkouts and such ? Not until a large number of
    customers finally learn Lesson One ... so GET TO IT.
    Robots HAVE to mean "Serious Profit Loss". THAT'S
    what gets attention.
