Not all pass help-yourself store tests

Two self-checkout convenience stores opened in Beijing and Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, on Saturday. There were no cashiers and customers paid for their purchases by following the in-store instructions. Some customers reportedly made insufficient payments or even took some goods away. However, they will not be held accountable as they are unaware participants in an integrity test of shoppers reportedly sponsored by Sesame Credit Management of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Comments:

Such a test is more likely a stunt for business promotion, as it is more concerned with attracting public attention than the economic losses caused by insufficient payments.
