- dambi0 1y agoIt could serve as a convenient distraction from rising prices or, more conveniently, risks introduced as a move to less staffing because of self-checkout. It’s a bit easier to explain away the inconvenience of locked individual items as a response to a rise in crime rather than the store’s choices. I doubt it’s a direct motivation but that isn’t to say it’s not a useful outcome either.
