Target shoppers should be careful not to miss scanning an item in the self-checkout lane because soon the retailer will know.
Driving the news: New technology is being added to every Target store this year that will detect items on scanners, alerting shoppers who leave anything unscanned, according to internal documents reported by Bloomberg.
The technology, the documents said, could help Target track shoppers "who repeatedly fail to scan their items even after being prompted."
