Retail Self-Checkout Collides with Deployment Risks
By Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer
 The
Self-Checkout (SCO) market is expected to exceed more than US$ 5 billion by 2024
at a CAGR of 10.3% in the forecast period. Sample North America retail chains
either deploying or piloting the Scan & Go variation include Kroger, Dollar
General, and 7-Eleven. With 10 stores opened so far, the Amazon Go self-service
store model could be a $4 billion business for the company by 2021. Over 500
Bingo Box self-service locations are already open in China.

The Retail Self-Checkout Challenge
Late last year the Europe-based
ECR Group published an extensive
study
quantifying the risk associated with self-checkout. Among the key findings:
●
Data comparing stores with and without Fixed SCO found that levels of loss were
higher in the former than the latter, with some grocery case studies recording
losses in the region of 33% to 147% higher.
 ●
Stores where 55-60% of transactions went through Fixed SCO can expect their
shrinkage losses to be 31% higher.
●
For a store with 50% of transactions being processed through Fixed SCO, it can
expect its shrinkage losses to be 75% higher than the average rate found in
grocery retailing
●
Stores using Scan & Go technology could see overall losses in
the region of 0.96% of sales - a 43% increase.
The ECR report concludes that the data was not clear in its theft conclusions.
There are many who assert based on their experiences that the losses are more
likely to be mistakes and errors. Valuable guidance is provided on a framework
featuring 11 themes that retailers can implement to manage the associated risks
with the use of SCO technologies.
Why Is Self-Checkout a Theft Target?
The USA-based
Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) asked actual shoplifters
"Why would you use self-checkouts to commit theft?"
Exclusive to this article,
here is what is in the mind of a shoplifter:
Walmart Owes $6M In Security/Meal Break Suit, Jury Says
AP metal detectors 'discouraged' warehouse
employees from taking breaks offsite
Walmart must pay $6.1 million to a class of employees for not providing meal
breaks when it required workers to go through anti-theft metal detectors every
time they wanted to leave the building, a California federal jury decided
Friday.
After deliberating for almost four hours, the eight-member jury found that
Walmart failed to provide meal breaks to workers at a fulfillment center in
Chino, California, and discouraged workers from taking their breaks outside the
building by requiring them to go through a time-consuming asset protection
checkpoint with metal detectors every time they left the warehouse.

Insurer Must Defend Fla. Shopping Center In Stabbing Suit
Mt. Hawley Insurance Co. must defend a Florida shopping center for a stabbing

that although a condition of the shopping center's policy clearly was not
satisfied, other disputed facts prevent finding that condition applies.

Dallas County District Attorney Won't Prosecute
If You Steal Under $750
If a poor person steals food or diapers or other essential items that they need
but can't afford to pay for, should they be prosecuted? Dallas County District
Attorney John Creuzot says No. It's one of several
new policy reforms that Creuzot called a step toward ending mass
incarceration, and possibly the most controversial.
 Creuzot
launched his bid to unseat District Attorney Faith Johnson last year, pledging
to roll back policies that lead to incarceration and disparities in the justice
system, but have dubious public safety value. On Thursday, he announced the
changes as a first step in fulfilling his campaign promises. In an open letter,
Creuzot discussed his commitment to not charge some lower-level drug crimes,
which are enforced more often when offenders are people of color. He outlined
policy changes related to bail and probation aimed at reducing the number of
people in jail. And he decried a justice system that criminalizes poverty,
saying he doesn't to prosecute offenses that often punish people living in
poverty, who are homeless, and who are mentally ill.
That includes a move to stop prosecuting people for theft of personal items
worth less than $750. It only applies to necessary items, Creuzot says.
Theft for economic gain or resale will be charged. "If they're stealing $750
worth of diapers, let's be honest: It's going to take a lot of rear ends to put
$750 worth of diapers on, so that probably doesn't fit that category and so we
would prosecute that case," Creuzot said. Prosecuting poor people for stealing
essential items wastes taxpayer money because they won't come out any more
financially stable after they serve their sentence, Creuzot says, and
prosecution doesn't help the business that is stolen from either.

Illinois: Legislation Would Let Judges Depart From Mandatory Minimums
- But Only On A Few Crimes
Lawmakers are moving to give judges more discretion in sentencing people
convicted of certain crimes. Under the proposal, judges would be able to depart
from state mandatory minimums for just three types of offenses: use or
possession of drugs, retail theft, and driving on a revoked license because of
unpaid financial obligations. The legislation, sponsored by state Rep. Sonya
Harper, a Democrat from Chicago, has other limits, too. "This bill simply allows
judges to give what we are calling 'smart sentences' to individuals who are
convicted of a crime but do not pose a threat to public safety," Harper said.
"So it just allows judges to sentence an offender to a sentence less than the
statutory minimum - when it makes sense."

Law enforcement agencies are using Google's location history feature
to track down crime suspects
An investigation by The New York Times revealed that law enforcement agencies
are increasingly issuing
"geofence" warrants
to tap into Google's massive "Sensorvault" database of their users' locations.
The increasingly frequent warrants will ask for information about all the
devices Google tracks in a specific area and a time period. According to one
Google employee cited in the article, the company received as many as 180
requests in one week for information.
As The New York Times writes, "Technology companies have for years responded to
court orders for specific users' information," but "[t]he new warrants go
further, suggesting possible suspects and witnesses in the absence of other
clues."

FDA threatens to fine Walmart, Kroger and convenience store chains
for selling tobacco to minors
The Federal Drug Administration threatened to fine Walmart, Kroger, Family
Dollar and more than a half dozen convenience store and gas station chains for
illegally selling tobacco products to minors.
The agency cited high rates of violations in nearly identical letters sent to
retailers last week. In addition to the retailers above, 7-Eleven, BP, Casey's
General Stores, Chevron, Citgo, Exxon, Marathon Petroleum, Shell and Sunoco all
received the letters, which were dated April 5 and posted to the agency's
website Friday. The FDA gave them 30 days to submit a detailed plan describing
how they will mitigate illegal tobacco sales to minors.

Turning Green Into Green:
Mainstream retailers embrace cannabidiol (CBD)
Retailers are taking advantage of the booming CBD industry even as its legal
status and health benefits remain murky. And the flood of products is only
testing how federal regulators can police it.
 Retail
sales of CBD consumer products in 2018 were estimated to reach as much as $2
billion, according to Cowen & Co. By 2025, that figure could hit $16 billion
in retail sales, the investment firm predicts.
CBD has been cropping up in everything from dog treats to bath balms in the past
few months. Domestic diva Martha Stewart is working with Canada's Canopy Growth
Corp. to develop new CBD products. And the nation's largest mall owner Simon
Property Group has hooked up with a cannabis goods maker to open roughly 100
kiosks at its U.S. malls by mid-summer.
Authentic Fitness is planning to sell CBD foot creams, oils and soaps under the
Nine West brand starting this fall. And CVS Health is beginning to sell
CBD-infused creams, sprays, lotions and salves at more than 800 stores in seven
states; drug store rivals Walgreens and Rite Aid are now following
suit.
Even high-end retailers are getting in on the action, charging anywhere from $12
to $150 an ounce. Barneys New York has opened a shop in Beverly Hills,
California, that sells CBD-infused creams along with hand blown glass bongs and
other accessories, while Neiman Marcus is now offering an array of CBD-infused
beauty products from balms, lotions soaps and masks in five of its stores.

Walmart in store remodeling mode - details $1B, 10-state plan
Walmart is shifting its focus to remodels as it revamps its brick-and-mortar
stores for the digital age. The retail giant recently announced store plans for
10 states, which encompass a total expected investment of over $1 billion.
Nearly all of the capital is going towards remodeling - only two new locations
were included in the plans. The remodeling effort includes the launch and
continued expansion of several customer-focused innovations, including high-tech
"pick-up towers," autonomous self-driving floor scrubbers and automated shelf
scanners. The chain is also expanding online grocery pickup and grocery delivery
services.
Here is a review of Walmart's anticipated investments
state-by-state:

Forrester: Retailers still investing in new stores
With the cost of operating an e-commerce site more costly than ever, retailers
clearly see the value of physical stores. That's according to a survey conducted
by Forrester for the National Retail Federation in which more than half (54%)
of retailers said they would open new stores, and overall, 36% of
respondents said they would have a higher store count in 2019 than in 2018. Only
7% of respondents said that their net store count would decrease. A significant
number of retailers (38%) reported that they would experiment in 2019 with
flexible formats like pop-ups to generate brand awareness and avoid the costs of
long-term leases.

Bezos On Amazon: Just A 'Small Player In Global Retail'
The world's richest man, Jeff Bezos, played down the size and influence of
Amazon in his latest
annual letter to shareholders, published this week. "Amazon remains a small
player in global retail," Bezos wrote. "We represent a low single-digit
percentage of the retail market, and there are much larger retailers in every
country where we operate. And that's largely because nearly 90% of retail
remains offline, in brick and mortar stores."
Cynics might say that the statement was intended for politicians intent on
breaking up Amazon, but nevertheless it is factual. If you look purely at the
U.S., Amazon will account for almost half of all online retail in 2019, but only
about 5% of the total market. Zoom in more closely on grocery, and while Amazon
captures up to 30% of online grocery spending (as much as all its competitors
combined), Amazon and Whole Foods control only 4% of the total grocery market.
(Walmart has 21%.)

Big Brother at the Mall
The privacy debate moves beyond e-commerce as magic mirrors and beacons log
shoppers' data in bricks-and-mortar stores
 The battle to protect consumer data is moving from cyberspace to shopping malls,
as Congress scrutinizes how advanced technology increasingly follows shoppers
around bricks-and-mortar stores.
Retailers including cosmetics chain Sephora use electronic Bluetooth beacons to
detect customers' smartphones as they enter the store, allowing them to ping
shoppers with promotions as they browse - and see where they linger.
In the fitting rooms at Rebecca Minkoff apparel stores, shoppers can tap on
interactive mirrors to see how a top might match with other garments, with each
choice being fed into the shopper's online profile.
Meanwhile, facial-recognition technology is being marketed to retailers as a way
to flag people who have previously shoplifted or sought refunds for stolen
merchandise. For now, many retailers are apprehensive but use of the technology
is
starting to make its way into real-world commerce, including retail. Walmart
Stores Inc., Lowe's Co s. and Target Stores Inc. say they have tested
facial-recognition systems but currently don't use the technology.
Stores say they've been forced to adopt high-tech data collection tools like
beacons to remain viable as consumers do more shopping online. But in-store
beacons haven't been as impactful as hoped, often sending promo messages only to
customers who have the store app open, for example. So while there is
trepidation, there's also strong interest among retailers in moving to the next
stages of technology, particularly facial recognition.
Privacy advocates, however, say the risks of abuse from in-store tracking of
customers are as high as online.

Two Romanian Cybercriminals Convicted of All 21 Counts Relating to Infecting
Over 400,000 Victim Computers with Malware and Stealing Millions of Dollars
 Two Romanian men have been convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud,
conspiracy to traffic in counterfeit service marks, aggravated identity theft,
conspiracy to commit money laundering, and 12 counts each of wire fraud.
The convictions were in association with a scheme to infect victims' computers
with malware, then steal credit card and other information to sell on dark
market websites, mine cryptocurrency, and engage in online auction fraud.
According to court documents, Bogdan Nicolescu and Radu Miclaus, along with a
third co-conspirator who has pled guilty, operated their scheme from Bucharest
beginning in 2007. The defendants ultimately infected and controlled more than
400,000 individual computers, primarily in the United States.
Nicolescu, Miclaus, and their co-conspirator earned money from their victims by
selling credentials on the Dark Web, advertising fraud using email accounts
created in the victims' names, cryptocurrency mining, and stealing money and
cryptocurrency through credit card fraud.

Outlook and Hotmail users left exposed in Microsoft email breach
Email accounts across Microsoft's Outlook, Hotmail and MSN services were
left vulnerable for almost three months after it emerged that hackers had
targeted them. A "limited" number of people had their accounts compromised in a
breach that took place between January 1st and March 28th, according to
Microsoft.
Hackers broke into a customer support account, which then allowed them to gain
unauthorised access to personal information, such as the subject lines of some
emails, the identities of recipients of messages and the names of folders, which
are used by many customers to organise emails.
The company told affected users in an email that "the content of any emails or
attachments" were not accessed in the breach earlier this year, and that it
"immediately disabled the compromised credentials" once it became aware of the
issue. Passwords were not stolen in the hack.

Email Security Market Booms as Cyberattacks Escalate
and Organizations Move to Cloud
Email has become the channel of choice for delivering malware and malware-less
attacks, and hackers have begun to employ social engineering techniques for
deception and impersonation. The proliferation of user devices, a mix of device
ownership models, always-connected work lifestyles and, above all, the use of
cloud-based mailbox services are adding new levels of complexity to email
security.
Due to the rising frequency and sophistication of threats, email security grew
year on year (YoY) to 11.5 percent in 2017 to touch $2.24 billion. The momentum
continued into 2018, with revenues increasing 15.9 percent YoY to $2.59 billion.
By 2022, the market is anticipated to be worth $3.58 billion, growing at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9 percent.

Online shopping's golden age of free, easy
returns is ending
Rising return rates are terrible for the environment, and for workers. But
that's not why brands are making it more difficult.
Customers of the online fast-fashion brand Asos were informed last week that the
site would be changing its notoriously lax return policy. "We need to make sure
our free returns remain sustainable for us and for the environment," the email
read, "so if we notice an unusual pattern, we might investigate and take
action."
It's a company that has long made returning items far more convenient than
others - every shipment includes a free return label, the bags are easy to
repackage, and refunds are quickly made in full. That's part of the reason why
Asos is one of the most
successful and fastest-growing brands in fashion.
But the move was a crackdown on such serial returners, and it's just one example
of a shift among businesses to make returning the stuff you buy - but don't want
- a little harder.
Revenue loss, combined with fears about return fraud, which is estimated to cost
the US retail industry about
$18.4 billion per year, is what Asos is targeting with its new policy.
The London-based e-tailer, which carries more than 850 brands, states in its new
rules that the changes will only affect a shopper if they are "actually
wearing their purchases and then returning them or ordering and returning loads
- way, waaay more than even the most loyal ASOS customer would order." If
they do, it explains, it might deactivate that customer's account.
Despite the brand's assurances that it would only affect the most extreme
returners,
many on Twitter
have claimed within the past few days that they've been banned for sending
back just a couple items.
This isn't the only tactic used by clothing brands to curb the volume of
returns. Everlane employs a
"restocking fee" of $6 when customers make online returns to cover the cost
of shipping and restocking, while
Anthropologie also charges a flat $5.95 for shipping on online
returns.
Because newer and smaller businesses don't always have the resources of bigger
ones, they're disproportionally affected by rising return rates - yet lots of
companies do this:
Verizon, for instance. The online thrift store ThredUp, which
charges a $1.99 fee with every return,
explains that a return must go through the same process of inspection and
quality assurance as when it arrived for it to be relisted on the site, which
costs the company more money.
Sephora also made headlines last year when the Wall Street Journal
discovered that the makeup behemoth was
giving stores the ability to ban certain customers from returning items,
confirming years of suspicions on beauty message boards. It, along with more
than 34,000 other stores from Best Buy to Home Depot, had been using a service
called the Retail Equation, which tracks customers' returning habits via
their driver's licenses.
Even L.L. Bean, the Maine-based outdoor gear brand generally considered
to be on the greener and more sustainable end of the spectrum, changed its
famous no-receipt needed lifetime return policy, not to save the polar bears but
to save
itself from being scammed.

 Two

said. The first theft happened at Nordstrom. Two people were arrested and
charged after allegedly running off with thousands of dollars' worth of

seven ran out of Zara with stolen clothing and hopped into a SUV. Shortly after
officers spotted the vehicle unoccupied parked illegally at Michigan Avenue and
Superior Street. A witness told police the group went inside Saks Fifth Avenue.
Officers arrested all seven people on the 7th floor of the store. Police said

Bloomington, MN: More than half a million dollars
raised for boy
attacked by man at Mall of America
 An unbelievable rally to support a 5-year-old boy who was viciously attacked by
a man at Mall of America last week has generated more than half a million
dollars for the family. As of this writing, the
GoFundMe
has raised in excess of $544,000, more than double what it was when we wrote
about the attention and support it was receiving just hours after the attack
occurred last Friday. The 5-year-old was at MOA with his mother Friday morning
when police say he was randomly attacked by a man, and thrown from the third
floor to ground level. The boy sustained life-threatening injuries in the nearly
40-foot drop.

No matter what you do, there's always two sides in every stadium, both supported
by their beliefs, convictions and opinions and both equally opposed in their
desire to win. While winning is everyone's objective, how you play the game is
in actuality more important. Regardless of how the other side plays, one must
always remember that afterwards regardless of the win or loss everyone respects
the one who played like a professional and gave it their best.
Just a Thought,
Gus
