Depends on the store. Some of them are terrible. Tiny areas to checkout an entire grocery car sucks. Especially when it weighs as you go, then hits the weight limit and apparently just starts ignoring the requirement.

It's like with DRM. More anti-theft stuff just makes it harder for paying customers.

Annoys the paying customers, and the thieves will find a way to circumvent it in 5 minutes of playing with it, lol
