The Giant grocery chain told Fox News Digital that a new policy limiting large bag usage went into effect at select stories dealing with theft and other shrink.
Grocery chain Giant has announced a ban on large bags in all of its Washington, D.C., stores as part of an effort to crack down on crime. The grocery store has been plagued by shoplifting, costing the company millions of dollars a year, according to a statement by Giant issued to Fox News Digital. As of May 23, customers cannot bring suitcases, duffel bags, or bags larger than 14" x 14" x 6" while shopping in certain stores.
" Giant's anti-theft measures include hiring more guards, reducing store hours and locking down some items, NBC 4 Washington reported. But, the announcement of the move angered customers on Memorial Day weekend. SHOPLIFTING PLAGUE HAS ONE COUNTRY'S RETAIL WORKERS WEARING BODYCAMS One mother said she was turned away while carrying her baby bag. "They looked at me and told me I could not bring my baby bag. Think about it, it’s a baby bag," she told NBC 4 Washington.
