I have and will continue to walk out mid transaction when I notice particularly egregious shit like that. It's the least I can do. Actively talk into the camera, and make sure they KNOW exactly why I'm walking out. Does it do any good? No, but it makes me feel a bit better.

Then, what, you go to a different store? I imagine you were there to buy stuff?

Yes. One that has less shit "security" practices. Or that properly staffs their checkout. Or whatever reason I chose to walk out.

So you've spent time shopping, only to get to check out and just leave everything there and leave, go to a different store, and repeat? Have lots of free time do you?

More time than willingness to give up on this matter. It costs them time and money, too, and that's enough to feel worth it to me.
