Did you know that approximately 25% of Dutch individuals using self-checkout systems in supermarkets sometimes forget to scan an item?
Though unintentional, this action could potentially lead to being perceived as a shoplifter by employees, resulting in severe consequences.
Theft incidents in supermarkets are on the rise, with Jumbo reporting a 60% increase in the past year, a third of which occurred at self-checkout counters.
Albert Heijn has not disclosed specific figures regarding incidents in their stores.
Retailers are responding to this trend by implementing stricter monitoring measures, including the use of advanced camera systems to detect suspicious behavior.
Furthermore, the time spent in the store is being tracked; the longer you shop, the higher the likelihood of a check at the self-checkout area.
During such inspections, it may be discovered that an item was not scanned, regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental.
