Shrink Concerns Holding Back Self-Checkout?
Everybody hates waiting in the checkout line.
Getting rid of it is going to take awhile.
 It's one part of shopping that both retailers and their customers loathe: the
checkout line. Even customers who like to shop just want to get out the door.
And it's not lost on retailers that a good portion of their labor costs go to
workers who perform mind-numbing, robotic tasks.
In response, a growing number of stores are trying to speed the checkout line
along, or do away with it altogether. In the most extreme form, Amazon is
rolling out a fleet of cashierless convenience stores across the country. No
cash, no plastic credit card required. Just an app and an account.
And last week, Meijer joined chains like Sam's Club and Macy's
that let shoppers ring up purchases on their smartphones.
To retailers, the cashierless future is not such a leap. No one thinks twice
about using ATMs or pumping their own gas. Eventually, retail experts say,
streamlined serve-yourself shopping could feel just as natural. But "it's going
to be a bumpy road," said Robert Moraca, vice president for loss prevention
at the National Retail Federation.
Still, he added, "that's where we're headed."
By now, self-checkout kiosks are a staple in grocery and drugstores. But it's
become a bigger focus for a wider range of retailers in the past couple years,
said Read Hayes, director of the Loss Prevention Research Council at the
University of Florida.
Stores with self-checkout tend to see higher losses than those that send all
shoppers to cashiers, and letting customers use their own devices is generally
seen as riskier than requiring they ring up their times at a kiosk because it's
harder to monitor, Hayes said.

Why Cashless Stores Aren't Always Good News
On March 7
Philadelphia became the first major U.S. city to ban cashless stores. In our
increasingly digital world, where nearly all businesses accept electronic forms
of payment, it seems only logical to transition to a completely cashless system.
So why did lawmakers ban businesses from refusing to accept cash?
In 2017, nearly 6 percent of the population of Philadelphia was "unbanked,"
which are people who do not have a checking or savings account and only use
cash. About 22 percent of the population was "underbanked," which are those who
have bank accounts but still use alternative financial services, such as check
cashers.
According to Philly.com, supporters of this legislation, which goes into effect
on July 1, argued that cashless stores effectively discriminated against poor
consumers. A report from the Federal Reserve found that the unbanked and the
underbanked are more likely to have low income, less education or be in a racial
or ethnic minority group.
Businesses, such as Sweetgreen, have gone cashless in recent years in order to
improve efficiency and reduce the risk of robbery. The National
Retail Federation
opposes the ban on cashless stores, saying that merchants should decide
which payments to accept (or deny).
The conversion to a completely cashless system would also have a significant
impact on cash-in-transit companies, who would lose a large customer base
that no longer needs armored couriers to securely transport their cash. This
could also affect banks who depend on their commercial customers for business.

Technology Disruption & the Transformation of the Global Top 250 Retailers
 By Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer
Annually I look forward to the Deloitte Global Powers of Retailing industry
research which provides a detailed growth trajectory review of the global top
250 retailers. This year, in addition to summarizing my favorite insights from
the
2019 edition, we will look back to the
2014 report to compare and contrast
the changes in the retail industry over the last five years.
All the metrics presented in this article are from these two Deloitte industry
leading reports. A thought-provoking technology disruption chart from the 2014
report is also included in this post for all of us to assess the retail
industry's innovation progress.
The Global Powers of Retailing
The data in the last report indicates that the global top 250 retailers grew
roughly six percent and represented $4.53 trillion in retail revenue. Note the
slight decline in minimal revenue to be included as a top 250 retailer. The
industry overall had stronger revenue growth in 2019 versus 2014, but sacrificed
margin in the process. Contrary to recent popular presumptions, the percentage
of retailers with global operations increased in the latest report.
The Rise of Amazon in the Global Top 10
Interesting changes in the top 10 from 2014 to 2019. Walmart remained Number 1.
CVS and Amazon arrived into the top 10 from Number 12 and Number 16
respectively. Target and Metro disappeared from the Top 10. Tesco had a
substantial drop in the rankings. Most amazing is the rise of Amazon, up twelve
notches from 2014 to 2019.
Seven out of the top 10 retailers in the latest report are from USA, two are
from Germany, and one is from the UK. This is a change from 2014 when five out
of the top 10 were from USA, one from France, three from Germany, and one from
UK. As the note indicates, Carrefour was not included in the 2019 Global Powers
of Retailing analysis.

What the CFOs Are Reading:
Numbers Don't Lie, Until They Do
Only 38% of Financial Executives Trust Accuracy of Financial Data Being Reported
A good number of controllers, financial analysts, accountants, and auditors
don't completely trust the accuracy of their company's financial data.
For many years, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has required the CFO
of a public company to certify the accuracy of the organization's financial
statement, providing confidence to investors in the report's quality. This
much-valued guarantee of
corporate responsibility testifies to the robustness of the company's
internal control structure and systems.
However,
recent research by BlackLine revealed a surprising lack of confidence
within finance departments in the numbers being reported.
According to a survey we commissioned of more than 1,100 C-level executives and
finance professionals, 71% of C-level executives completely trust the accuracy
of their financial data. However, only 38% of finance professionals - the
people preparing the statements and reports - share that opinion.
 The findings are evidence of a disconnect about the accuracy of the data. That's
dangerous at a time when many companies are transforming around data to make
more informed business decisions. If the numbers are inaccurate to begin with,
those decisions will suffer.
Most pointed to human error as the primary cause, given that some data is
manually input. Others cited the vast increase in the volume of data
flooding the business from a wide array of sources.
Additional factors included the competency and training of people inputting
data, over-reliance on spreadsheets, outdated processes, and few automated
checks and controls across the enterprise.
The financial figures drive many operating decisions, fueling budgets as well as
growth and cost initiatives.
Obviously, inaccurate numbers may affect the expected outcomes of these plans.
Our research confirms this risk, with seven in ten respondents (69%) stating
that they or their CEOs have made a significant business decision based on
incorrect or outdated financial data. Many respondents said the problem is often
hidden: over a quarter (26%) cited concerns over errors they knew existed but
could not confirm due to lack of visibility into the data.
Hidden financial data inaccuracies, according to respondents, also have the
potential to increase debt levels and bring significant SEC fines (and
possible criminal charges).
Nearly seven in ten respondents (69%) stated that a company they have worked for
had to restate its earnings due to unidentified data inaccuracies. Meanwhile,
only 17% said they trusted the CFO and finance team to identify all errors prior
to issuing the financial statement. cfo.com
Cost of telecommunications fraud estimated at $32.8 billion a year
The Cyber-Telecom Crime Report 2019, jointly published by Europol and Trend
Micro, highlights that telecom fraud is becoming a low-risk alternative to
traditional financial crime. The reduced cost and increased availability of
hacking equipment means this type of fraud is on the rise. The cost of
telecommunications fraud is estimated to be 29 billion euros (US $32.8 billion) a
year.
At its heart, this fraud is the abuse of telecommunications products (mainly
telephones and mobile phones) or services with the intention of illegally
acquiring money from a communication service provider or its customers. The main
goal of criminals is to gain access to customers' or carriers' accounts, where
debt can be incurred in the criminal's favour.
Cooperation and information-sharing between law enforcement and the private
sector has become essential in the fight against these types of crime.

Myrtle
Beach, SC: JC Penney added to Myrtle Beach Mall shooting death lawsuit
 The family of Frances Mae Davis filed a lawsuit against the mall and the
security guard service in 2016 after the 78-year-old woman was found shot to
death in her car in the mall parking lot on Jan. 8 of that year.
JCPenney was
added to the complaint on Jan. 15, 2019, with the plaintiff, Davis' estate,
saying JCPenney failed to provide adequate security. The retailer responded by
denying they should be held responsible for her death because they're not
responsible for the mall parking lot outside of their store.
"Pursuant to the Lease, the Mall parking areas are not part of the premises
demised to JCPenney, but instead are defined as "Common Facilities."

Amazon Air pilots speak out over safety concerns
Pilots flying for Amazon Air publicized concerns about air safety just weeks
before a fatal crash, reports Business Insider. The U.S.-based pilots, who work
for third-party units of Air Transport Services Group and Atlas Air Worldwide,
described problems with inexperienced pilots taking to the skies, a lack of
training, and low morale and pay. The Amazon Air pilots have been fighting for
better pay and standards for nearly five years. Analysts say the safety issues
could threaten Amazon's rapidly expanding air cargo operations.

IoT for Retail Loss Prevention: Boon or Bane?
IoT-enabled services are being adopted to provide user-friendly and aesthetic
ways to address retail loss prevention. However, certain post-deployment
observations have revealed some issues with IoT, relating to customer experience
and the technology's ineffectiveness in addressing the real reasons for which it
was originally deployed.
Wired retractable physical tethers have been deployed in retail as an anti-theft
measure for many years now. Still, organized retail crime and inventory
shrinkage costs the retail industry $30B and $45B respectively every year.
Robberies and burglaries are up 8.6 percent since
2016,
according to D&D Daily reporting.
Physical retractable tethers, though cheap, have many disadvantages. First, they
cause an unpleasant experience to shoppers exploring the product-a constant pull
towards the base, inability to see the product in 360 degrees, anchored to the
table where it's placed and so on. Second, they haven't done anything
to prevent theft, which is their primary intent in the first place.
Electronic secure perimeters (i.e. geo-fencing) using the Internet of Things
(IoT) has found many uses, including loss prevention for retail.
Companies like InVue have developed
sophisticated IoT solutions that protect assets wirelessly. These
IoT systems operate by triggering a
software-programmable alarm when the high-value physical asset exits a
pre-defined secure zone. Sounds cool,
doesn't it? There are caveats, though.
The majority of shoppers in any retail store fall under the honest and
good-intent category. They're genuinely trying out the product and, on many
occasions, they accidentally exit the geo-fence, causing public embarrassment-a
severe dent on the overall customer experience. Another interesting fact is that
the security personnel inside a retail store don't physically tackle the
culprits even when the alarm rings.
 To address these concerns, some retailers like Verizon have adopted a
combination of physical and electronic tethering.
The wires are long and non-retractable (though not aesthetically pleasing) and
have a slot to conveniently house the asset
(pictured
to the right). The base and the asset have tags with the conspicuous
labels "alarm" to make the shopper cautious. The electronic (invisible) tether
acts as a supplement.
Another way to address these issues is to develop
cloud-based systems.
At the outset, shoppers can be notified (on the asset itself) not to carry the
asset too far away from the base. A pleasant chirp can be sent as a warning
before the actual alarm rings. IoT location services can be built to track the
asset in real-time, which can then be viewed by security personnel and police
officers on their personal handheld devices to nab the thieves.

As AI Spreads, Tech Needs 'Chief Bias Officers'
While many companies continue to debate how to shape their executive teams in
response to increasing digitization, and whether they need to create a Chief
Data Protection Officer position, some may need to consider creating a "Chief
Bias Officer" position, according to an editorial published by
Forbes.
 In a first-of-its-kind study conducted with artificial intelligence algorithms,
the Royal Historical Society recently
revealed what it called "massive gender bias" across the U.K. workforce. The
AI-powered system scanned the entire U.K. Internet, examining the current
breakdown of existing positions for men and women. Assessing 108 different
economic sectors, the study found that in 87 percent of these fields there was a
bias toward men, meaning that men accounted for a disproportionate share of
senior leadership positions.
The pioneering study underscores AI's potential to help illuminate our world,
after all, one of the powerful capabilities of AI is to analyze vast amounts of
data and find patterns we cannot. But while AI can help uncover biases and
inequities it can actually make them worse as well.
How can organizations be confident that the data on which they and their AI
systems rely on are truly adequate and not reinforcing discriminatory patterns.

Average DDoS attack sizes decrease 85% due to FBI's shutdown
of DDoS-for-hire websites
The FBI's shutdown of the 15 largest
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) for hire vendors (booters)
reduced the overall number of attacks worldwide by nearly 11 percent compared to
the same period last year.
Along with the fewer total attacks, the average size decreased by 85 percent as
did the maximum attack size by 24 percent, indicating the FBI crackdown was
effective in reducing the global impact of DDoS attacks.
However, booter websites are poised to make a comeback despite the crackdown due
to growing botnets and incessant demand
for DDoS-for-hire services, according to
the Nexusguard Q4 2018 Threat Report.

Magecart Nightmare Besets E-Commerce Websites
Script-based payment card malware continues its successful run, impacting a
range of e-commerce sites, researchers at two security firms warn.
RiskIQ and Group-IB have described a series of attacks whose victims include
shoe manufacturer Fila, two bedding-related sites - Mypillow.com and
Amerisleep.com - and others.
Countering card-sniffing malware has proved to be tricky, as the sign of an
infection may be just a single line of code. Nor have large enterprises been
immune: Big players such as British Airways, Ticketmaster and Newegg have all
been struck over the past year (see
Magecart Cybercrime Groups Harvest Payment Card Data).
Many of these attacks have been well-documented by RiskIQ, which broadly refers
to the use of these tactics as Magecart, although emphasizes that many
cybercriminal groups appear to be involved.
The latest attacks documented by the company show that Magecart-style gangs are
continuing to experiment with new attack techniques, potentially making it
harder for companies to detect when they've been compromised.

Amazon Blocks Product Promotions That Lose Money
In an effort to boost its bottom line, Amazon will no longer allow products that
don't turn a profit to advertise on its site.
CNBC reported that Amazon has recently been telling more vendors, as well as
brand owners who sell their products wholesale, that if the eCommerce giant
can't sell their items at a profit, the merchants can no longer pay to promote
them.
"Amazon is trying to be much more profitable than they were in the past," said
Joe Hansen, CEO of Buy Box Experts. "But this policy shows there's bias in
Amazon's ad service, even though it says it's an open advertising platform."
An Amazon spokesperson defended the move, saying it has been a common practice
for retailers for decades.
"Like all retailers, Amazon decides which products to market and promote in our
stores based on a variety of factors, such as relevancy, availability,
profitability and other factors," the spokesperson said.
Amazon employees refer to these products as "CRaP," which stands for "Can't
Realize a Profit." These items are usually sold for less than $25, but could be
as high as $2,000 if large and expensive to store and ship, explained Hansen.
The move to get unprofitable products off the site is yet another issue vendors
have with Amazon, who has been accused of using its eCommerce market power to
change its policies suddenly.

Update: Lower Bucks County, PA: Pawn Shop Owner,
Employee Plead Guilty
In $700,000 Organized Retail Theft Ring
The owner of two pawn shops and one of his employees pleaded guilty Wednesday
for their role in a scheme that authorities said used "professional retail
thieves." Michael Stein, 36, of Middletown, pleaded guilty to corrupt
organizations and receiving stolen property. Stein owned Levittown Quick Cash
Trading Post in Bristol Township and Morrisville Loan and Pawn in Falls
Township. Store employee Brian Jancia, 29, pleaded guilty to receiving stolen
property. The two men were arrested last winter along with 30 others, the
majority drug users who were stealing items that would later be resold through
the pawn shops.
 A
multi-year-long investigation of Levittown-area retail thefts folded into the
Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office's Operation Booster Club. Authorities
said the crooks generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue through
the purchase and resale of merchandise stolen from chain stores between January
2014 and October 2017. The total stolen items purchased for resale numbered
around 5,000 and was valued at $700,000. Authorities said the pawn shop workers
purchased stolen goods from the thieves - known as "boosters" - and would pay
them about 30 percent to 40 percent of the stolen item's retail value. The pawn
shop owner and employees would then take the stolen goods to a warehouse before
selling them on eBay and other online shopping venues.
"These defendants ran a scheme to profit off of those struggling with substance
use disorder and take advantage of the opioid crisis ravaging Pennsylvania,"
Attorney General Josh Shapiro said this week in a statement. "The companies they
targeted faces significant financial loss, which was passed on to consumers in
our Commonwealth. My Office is holding the accountable for the despicable
enterprise they operated in Bucks County." Stein will be sentenced at a later
date. He has entered into a cooperation plea agreement with prosecutors.

Fresno, CA: Another Fresno Ulta Beauty store
robbed at lightning speed
The search is on for a suspected beauty bandit with expensive taste who's wanted
in a number of robberies at Ulta stores. The latest heist happened at the
retailer's Northwest Fresno location at Herndon and Highway 99. Investigators
identified the beauty store suspect as 29-year-old Shante Lewis. She was
arrested on Sunday hours after thousands of dollars in high-priced fragrances
were taken from the Ulta in the El Paseo Shopping Center.
 Surveillance
video shows the suspect shoveling fragrance bottles into a large tote bag.
Within seconds, suddenly she makes a dash for the door. "Later on that day, the
same thing happened and because we had worked with the people in Ulta at our
town- we communicated that up and down the state and Modesto Police said we'll
take her into custody," said Capt. Burke Farrah of the Fresno Police Department.
She bailed out - just as Fresno Police Officers got a warrant for her arrest. So
she is wanted once again. Officers don't know if Shante Lewis was involved in
that burglary- but they have tied her to at least 4 others.

Inez, KY: G.L.O.V.E sends electrical charge to
subdue suspect
 Since
January, the department has been operating with just the sheriff, one paid
deputy and a few volunteer deputies. The new tool is the G.L.O.V.E. It is
literally a glove, but one that can send an electrical charge to subdue
suspects. "It's a burning sensation all up into your arm lasting probably a
couple seconds," said Martin County Constable Brad Preece on what the G.L.O.V.E.
felt like. Kentucky-based Compliant Technologies is donating four pairs of
gloves to the sheriff's department. Other area law enforcement also took part in
training. "The only thing that is transmitting from the glove to the body is a
very rapid pulse rate of a voltage that is no more than 380 volts but usually
operates at 330 volts," said Jeff Niklaus, founder of Compliant Technologies.
Niklaus said the electricity does not travel throughout the body, making the
glove a safer electrical weapon when trying to get a suspect to comply with
commands.
