💨 Abstract

Shoppers have mixed reactions to supermarkets' new anti-shoplifting technology. Tesco and Sainsbury's introduced AI-powered self-service checkouts that use overhead cameras and replays to ensure all items are scanned, reducing thefts. While some customers find it amusing, others express concern over increased surveillance. Tesco staff supports the measure, which is part of broader efforts to combat rising shoplifting incidents.
