New Report Finds High-Income Shoppers Are More Likely to Steal at Self-Checkout A surprising new report suggests that shoppers earning over $100,000 a year are twice as likely to steal from self-checkout compared to those with lower incomes. Researchers say the findings challenge the idea that people with higher earnings are less likely to engage in petty theft. According to the study, wealthier shoppers were more likely to skip scanning items or intentionally mislabel products, raising questions about whether higher income truly changes behavior—or simply gives some individuals a sense of being above consequences. The report highlights a growing concern for retailers who are already struggling with rising theft and the limitations of self-checkout technology. #ConsumerNews #RetailTheft #SelfCheckout #CrimeReport #TrendingNews #ShopliftingStudy #NewsBreakCommunity
