[Dataloss] 4 arrested in security breach at Stop & Shop

[B.K. DeLong]

As a some-time shopper of MA-based Stop and Shops, I find this
ridiculous. Where the hell were the "Loss prevention" folks on this
one? They have cameras and, in some case, an office that overlooks the
entire store floor.

I bet they were tampering with the Self-Checkout lines as no store
staff is around them unless they throw up the red light....and only
then after one waits for several minutes. They go to the kiosk, reset
and go back to the other registers.

I just don't understand how someone could get away with this in such a
public setting.
