French term or phrase: caddie de complaisance
Hello! This is a passage about different kinds of retail employee fraud, one being collusion between a cashier and a customer where the customer does not pay for the purchase in full. I'm having a hard time finding an equivalent in English ('shopping cart forgiveness' doesn't quite do the trick). Here's the phrase as it appears:

"Collusion employé de caisse/client visant à ne pas faire payer à ce dernier la totalité de ses achats (Caddie de complaisance)"

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Theft by non-charging collusion


Explanation:
I gather it's not specific as to whether the cashier or the customer would be assumed as more the origin of the idea to do it.

The answer probably works, but maybe there's a better idea.
