I don't even slow down for these anymore. I once had to purchase a pair of slip joint pliers at a wally world late at night and after waiting for 30 minutes for a seemingly competent cashier, I finally managed to head to the door only to have the tag not deactivated. I was frustrated, tired, had a plumbing job ahead of me (I hate plumbing jobs) but they somehow managed to call me back, "sir, sir, we have to check your bag." and I didn't even get a bag. After looking at the receipt I just got from the cashier, by the same cashier, looking at the pliers she just handed me, and finally running it over the deactivator again, I was able to be on my way after another 5 minutes of incompetent bumbling. Sheesh.

So now, unless someone chases me down outside the store I will just keep walking. I know I didn't steal anything, they have no reason to even ask because A) I do not steal, and B) 95% of the time it's a false alarm because they didn't deactivate the tag. Just yesterday I walked out of a CVS with a bottle of Zyrtec that didn't get deactivated when she tried. I did hear the beep at the door, but no one had a chance to say a word to me as I kept walking. If they want to accuse me of stealing they better have a reasons other than incompetent cashiers.
