      I refuse to do the unpaid labor of fixing their shitty robot.

      If bad business decisions cause accidental shrinkage, oh well.

      It’s simply the customer getting paid for the labor of being a cashier. If someone does labor for a company, the company pays them.

      Morally maybe, but legally no. Theft requires criminal intent. If the person is honestly attempting to pay for the goods and errors in the payment method cause an over or underpayment, that’s not theft.
