Going back and returning it would be worse as they’d have to bin the items (potential contamination etc) and they’d have you on admitting to “theft”.

That's what I thought. I don't know store policy, they might have a policy of calling the police for every single case, no discretion by store manager at all. That's why I did nothing.

You did right by doing nothing. On the grand scheme of things you did nothing wrong so please try and let it go despite it bugging you! It's no worse than you not noticing that your card didn't register when paying and then walking out. It happens with these automated systems.
