How do stores with self-check out lanes ensure that all products bought are accounted for?

Other than an employee or two standing by, it seems to be riding on customer trust. Wouldn’t a company want to only have cashier lanes, so they can ensure that all products taken from a store are bought fairly?

Those machines are more savvy than you may think, too. They talk some robot nonsense and shut down regularly, needing human intervention. But I was stunned recently when I inadvertently scanned one product that had another identical stuck to it. (light plastic crockery) When I placed it in the bagging area, it sensed •double weight• and wouldn’t process my next item until I ‘unstole’ the $2.50 product.
