Stealing at the public libraries is rampant because there is no security whatsoever. But, I guess they don't care because it is taxpayer funded.
The self checkout lanes typically alert if an item is put into the bagging area without first being scanned. Wouldn't prevent someone from leaving it in their cart and just not scanning it but hopefully an attendant would notice that.

Sam's club spot checks items on the way out the door. They used to just count (or guess at the count) but with scan-and-go they have been scanning some of the items in the cart. Since I don't have a receipt with a list of items I can show, I guess they scan some of the items to confirm that I had scanned them as part of my purchase. Not perfect but likely sufficient to prevent most of the "mistakes."

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
