strealing a frozen pizza or a can of green beans or a case of water or cokes isn't whats hurting them. Its gotta be the big ticket items, high priced items. If i had to guess, at Kroger its meat and Walmart its electronics.
I was at Walmart the other day, i got a pair of shorts on Clearance. the tag was $5. when i rang them up, they came up as $26. I had to wait almost 5 minutes for someone to help me because she was running at least 10 self checkouts by herself. It ticked me off, but i know it wasn't this poor girls fault. between having to keep an eye on that many registers and help a bunch of people who didn't know what they were doing, she was stretched thin.
