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.
