AdvertisementSince the introduction of self-checkout more than 30 years ago, the technology has become ubiquitous in stores across the US and around the world. Meanwhile, those anti-shoplifting measures are frustrating some customers who say they are fed up with systems flagging them as potential criminals.

☆ Major retailers say shoplifting is a huge problem. So at least one is now considering removing brand names from its shelves altogether.

Many retailers attribute rampant product losses to widespread shoplifting. Some retailers say shoplifting has gotten so bad that they are removing name brands from their shelves, instead offering store brands that have lower resale values. "I don't want to do this," Giant president Ira Kress told the Post. "But the reality is that Tide is not a profitable item in this store," Kress told the Post. One shopper previously told Insider the lock boxes have "progressed from slightly annoying to more than inconvenient."

Giant Food, a mid-Atlantic grocery chain, could close stores due to theft, President Ira Kress said. He told WTOP that Giant is also limiting the number of items that customers can buy at self-checkout. This time, it's Giant Food, which operates about 170 stores in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Giant President Ira Kress told Washington DC radio station WTOP on Monday that thieves are stealing "everything," from shrimp to deodorant, at Giant's stores. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said that the retailer could close stores or raise prices if theft continued.

☆ Bowery: 2023 CNBC Disruptor 50
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Cnbc.Com Staff | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Founded in 2015 in New York City, Bowery is among several urban plant factories that are changing food supplies, and attracting substantial funding. The need to grow produce more efficiently, and closer to end markets, is represented in Bowery and the concept of vertical agriculture. Early last year, Bowery secured a $150 million credit investment from KKR & Co. Overall, Bowery increased its retail distribution 40% in 2022, with supermarket chains Albertsons, Giant Food, Walmart and Whole Foods on board. Almost a decade on from its founding, the idea behind Bowery remains novel, but skeptics say vertical farming remains closer to a DIY niche than a grown up, globally scalable agtech industry.

Less than a year later, mortgage rates have climbed and many would-be clients have backed out. Mr. Parker recently took on more hours at a Giant Food supermarket where he already worked part time as a dairy manager.
