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

I have never been asked for an ID at Walmart to purchase alcohol at the self checkout. They just push a button to allow the purchase. Walgreens does require ID, but Walmart and Publix do not.
