Is there no scanning monitoring for IKEA self-checkout?

Yes, you need to contact customer service.

Compared with the traditional checkout mode, self-checkout is more convenient and quickly recognized by consumers and supermarket operators. However, the security loopholes in self-checkout also leave an opportunity for criminals, and cases of stealing supermarket goods without scanning the code or checking out after scanning the code occur frequently.

The People's Procuratorate of Haidian District, Beijing reminded supermarket operators that although self-help is convenient, they should also build a "security door" and remind consumers not to be greedy for petty gains and be careful to break the law.

Prosecutors found through handling cases that the criminal suspects who stole the self-checkout supermarket mostly used "ants moving", and each crime was small, but they continued to commit crimes. Generally, the unsettled goods in the store are stolen with the settled goods. Most of the stolen items are common daily necessities or foods, such as eggs, vegetables, fruits and masks. Moreover, the amount of each theft generally fails to reach the starting point of "large amount", and criminal responsibility shall be investigated, generally because of multiple thefts.

Due to the large number of cases, the prosecutor found that most self-checkout supermarkets or self-checkout areas are not equipped with unscanned code alarm devices (commonly known as "security doors"), and consumers can directly take the unsettled goods out of the supermarket without triggering the alarm device; Some supermarkets have few or no supervisors in the self-checkout area because of labor costs, leaving a lot of room for criminals to operate.

The prosecution suggested that self-checkout supermarkets should set warning slogans and on-site monitoring tips in prominent positions and self-checkout areas, and reduce loopholes by adding supervisors and monitoring probes in self-checkout areas and setting up alarm "security doors" to prevent criminals from taking advantage of it. At the same time, the new convenience facilities and equipment need citizens to consciously maintain the corresponding order of use, and must not touch the bottom line of the law for greed.
