    I’m sorry but I don’t think that makes very much sense.

    Retail theft is a real problem for a company’s bottom line. Enough so that Target is pulling out of San Francisco, IIRC. And self-checkout is one of the easiest ways to pull it off.

    Why would a corporation frantically seeking quarter over quarter growth spend money to “prove a point” about control?
