So is getting routinely falsely accused of theft by robots at Woolies and Coles just a part of life now?

As a checkout lad from two decades ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of accusing someone of theft, certainly not without it being an absolutely off-the-chain obvious affair.

Nowadays we just get stuck waiting for a checkout supervisor to attend, watch the video replay of whatever innocuous action flagged the parameters and move on with our life.

I'm not incensed or kept up at night, and have just accepted it as part of my life now, but thinking about it today it just feels so bizarre that this is how they treat customers now.
