Back in my Safeway days if we had drive offs we would phone police and they would deal - some cases the folk came back apologetic, others went to court charged with theft.
We also had a standard form, can't remember its exact name now, but was for folk who genuinely had forgotten their purses, bank cards declined etc. Think they had one week to come back.
Of course for audit purposes, the PFS had to carry a shortage every day until the debt was paid.
I have heard of some independent PFS insisting on personal possessions being left behind in such cases.
