  it's not an exaggeration, there were also stores near where I live in <major city> that tried to do something similar with scanning apps and then abandoned it due to theft and added the standard self-checkout stations you see everywhere now.

  I have seen video of black dude going to white neighborhood and geeking out that stuff if out in-front of petrol station unsupervised. He was scolding his community that it would be impossible in his hood. America is in super state of being both, high and low trust. And by judging the current world trends it will collapse to one state pretty soon - the dead cat scenario i am afraid.

    I had a version of this myself, moving out of a poor area into a nice one. When we were doing a tour, we saw children's bikes just left laying down by the street everywhere. It was shocking, as a child I couldn't even store my bike in our shed out back.

  I think it really depends on the region where you live. The US is a very large and diverse place.
