I think it entirely possible that this is not a case of intentional theft. For those who don't click on the link... a woman went to self check-out. She scanned her items which included alcohol. You cannot self check alcohol because your age needs to be verified. A Walmart employee came and the woman produced her ID to prove her age. Then she took her bags and left.

I know my driver's license is in the same wallet as my credit card. When I self check-out I need to take out my wallet, use the credit card, and I am done. She had to take out her wallet and perhaps even remove her ID. Easy to see how one could feel like you've completed the needed steps.

I would only add that the quality of the photo produced is terrible. One would think at this new and recently remodeled Walmart there would be high quality images available from the self check out camera. EDIT: typing while above comment re cameras was posted
