Walmart has quietly rolled out a new feature at its stores that is beneficial for paying customers, but bad news for thieves.
In a recent TikTok video, a Walmart customer showed herself scanning Great Value items through a self-checkout machine at Walmart without using a barcode.
Walmart partnered with Digimarc , which is the company that’s behind the new feature, to innovate its barcodes for $3 million a year.
Retail theft has grown to become a significant problem for retailers over the past few years .
