This is not the first instance of this type of story to be recorded this year. In May, ABC affiliate KGUN9 in Tucson, Arizona, published a report of several customers who said they were getting citations for errors at self-checkout machines.
At a self-checkout, a woman claimed she forgot to scan a few items, but was arrested anyway.
"Two women jumped out of the shadows, grabbed the cart and took me all the way back through the store, to a tiny interrogation room...and told me I was being arrested for shoplifting," she recalls.
The woman revealed that they kept her there for about an hour and a half and called the sheriff. She added: "They said they had to arrest me because it was over $30. I've never been arrested in my life. I'm in my 60s and they were just very rude and inconsiderate and I kept asking them about things because I didn't understand what was going on."
