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?

They don’t. They budget shoplifting. They do this anyway, even with manual checkouts. But savings from automatic checkouts more than compensate any potential increase of shoplifting.
