With how omnipresent self checkouts have become, I wouldn’t be surprised if a good chunk of customers have accidentally stolen something at least once a year.
Maybe if we consider accidents. I don’t really understand how they can even measure this in the first place, maybe a poll but that’s very unreliable methodology and sample monitoring would need a crazy large N.
It’s probably just based off of normal shrinkage metrics that stores already collect anyway. If you could get target, Walmart, and Costco to give you their data, that’d be thousands of stores.
I mean they can tell you item counts missing and total value, but how are they counting percentage of patrons? Unless you are extrapolating from catching people and assuming some likelihood of being caught…
