Watch Your Scanning: Walmart Issues Citations for Self-Checkout Mistakes

Errors happen to everyone. Humans make mistakes. The problem is, if you don't scan some items at Walmart, you could be cited heavily.

Self-checkout 'shoplifting' at Walmart is starting to be watched carefully. Now, citations are being issued when people walk away without paying for all their items. KGUN9 reported recently that Walmart shoppers in Tucson Walmart were cited and sent to court for mistakes. The unidentified woman says she was given a petty theft citation at the Walmart at 7635 N. La Cholla Blvd. B in Tucson. She says she accidentally forgot to scan a few items during check out. This then leads to a citation given to the woman.

Other shoppers spoke with the news outlet and had sadly similar stories. According to Pima County Sheriff Deputies, there were 62 citations and releases at the Walmart on La Cholla from January 2021 to April 11, 2022. I would be so angry if I had small children, missed one item, and got a citation. I am wondering when this will make its way to Charlotte.

It would be great if I could get a bike! I just rode my brother's bike around town with my brother in NJ. I had a blast. Despite rising gas prices, cycling has surged in popularity, but which U.S. cities are best for cyclists?

I would love to get a bike here in North Carolina. We are blessed to have so many amazing greenways and parks to enjoy a bike ride. LawnStarter ranked the U.S.'s Best Biking Cities for 2022 on June 3 in celebration of World Bicycle Day. The 200 largest U.S. cities were compared based on 24 key indicators of a cyclist-friendly lifestyle.

It took into account access to bike lanes and rental bikes, the share of commuters who bike, the presence of cycling clubs, and the number of bicycle races and tours. Here are the best North Carolina cities for biking. We included all of them from worst to best. We have also included some nearby cities for two-wheelers.

You might wonder why a city defined by its steep hills could be the best city for avid cyclists, but it’s those challenging inclines that help bikers develop strong endurance — and legs. That and San Francisco simply has a lot going for it: The city coasted through just about every category but owes its win, particularly to Access and Climate. San Francisco swept four out of six Access metrics, and among our best 10 cycling cities, only the Golden City managed to rank in the top 25% in Climate. Weather matters when you’re out in bike shorts — that’s how otherwise great biking cities lost the race again to San Francisco in our ranking.
