The (British) Press Association: Approximately two million Britons admit stealing goods when using supermarket self-scan checkouts in the past year, a survey has said. The poll for security company G4S found 7 percent of adults said they had failed to scan the barcode of an item when using the self-service facilities. The company calculated that the self-scan scam is costing retailers hundreds of millions of pounds a year.
