The handheld device lets them know what you’re buying

Taking to social media, a TikTok star, calling himself the Walmart Guy, revealed that as a self-checkout attendant, he knows when people steal because it shows up on their handheld monitor.

The Walmart employee showed two different clients using their self-checkout registers and then showed the small monitor he had that let him know what each person was buying.

The screen revealed the cash register number, the products being bought, and the total of their shopping spree.

However, when he filmed the people at the cash register, they had far more products in their carts than the ones registered in his monitor.

He said: “We know when you’re stealing.”

He added that another giveaway of someone stealing is when they scan small-priced items multiple times but avoid scanning the more pricey things.

In a second video, he revealed that if someone swipes an item in the cash register but then removes it so they don’t have to pay for it, they still see the item being removed.

Previously, The Sun revealed the different ways you can save at Walmart.

One thing to do is download the Walmart app as it has exclusive discounts.

You should also make sure to point out if another store has what you’re buying for cheaper as they will match the price.

You can also get exclusive discounts if you do curb-pick up or get your groceries delivered.
