If someone is gonna steal, they are gonna find a way. Hell even the advert showed single people shopping, not a mom with 2 kids. Plus there whole put it back thing? Yeah, you ever see a shopper put something back in the right spot? 9 to 10 they are just gonna leave it somewhere else and then complain that they got charged for something they didn't buy. The whole store is basically what people scream of being watched 24/7 the moment you walk in. Even if they automate a code, it does not stop someone from simply ripping the code off of the 99 cent whatever they paid for, ripping the barcode off the item that's expensive and walking out. And like say that cupcake she picked up? What to stop her from dumping the cupcake out, and putting something else in the cupcake box and putting the empty box back on the shelf?

I used to work in the electronics department of my store. #1 stolen item? The digital slip inside the dvd cases for the digital download. Why? It was a slip of paper that had no security on it and it doesn't ask for proof of purchase when used. This whole thing that Amazon is doing has totally not equated the human element of liars/cheats and the customer's always right areas.
