Grocery store introduces new self-checkout rule to crack down on shoplifting

A US grocery store has implemented a limit to shoppers using self-checkouts in an attempt to crack down on high rates of shoplifting.

Now, shoppers hoping to use the self-checkout at the Giant supermarket in Rockville, Maryland, are met with a sign saying: "Self-checkout is limited to 20 items or less".

The change was brought about in the suburb 15 miles outside of Washington DC in response to high rates of shoplifting, according to Rockville Nights.
