One of the items had a tag on it and it beeped on the way out
they checked back and realised I’d forgotten to scan it in self checkout.
they checked everything.
In summary, I scanned about 30 food items but forgot about 2 non-food items which I’d kept in the other side of trolley in case any of the food items spill on it and had my large grocery back on top and totally forgot about it and was in a rush to finish due to how busy the store was and covid concerns.
I have had chronic dizziness, low blood pressure and weight loss in the last year (and two fainting episodes), which are on my medical records which affects my concentration too.
Now they’re saying they're gonna look back on everything I’ve ever purchased to see if this has ever happened before and they took my details.
I’d never do it intentionally and why would I ever try and take something with a security tag on it as
1) it would beep
2) how would I wear something with that type of tag on it that is probably impossible to remove without the machine.
I immediately paid for the two items I forgot and said I was more than happy to pay a fine as it was just a mistake from lack of focus, dizziness and a rush to finish but definitely not intentional.
What can happen?
I’m really worried as I’ve never done anything even remotely criminal before.
They mentioned a possible ban or further action etc
The doors have never beeped before so I’d think it hasn’t happened before but who knows.
Most times I’ve been in there I’ve spent £50 to £60 each time.
