Push-Outs
Push-Outs are defined as the deliberate act of pushing a shopping cart full of unpaid merchandise out of a store through any unauthorised exit such as:
- Closed Checkouts
- Self-Checkouts
- No Purchase Lanes
- Store Entrances
- Emergency Exits
- Warehouse Entrances

as much as €1 million a year
The Value of Push-Out Theft
- Push-Out event shopping cart contents are typically valued between €500 to €1.500, each time
- Loss prevention experts in food retail estimate that over 30% of this type of theft goes undetected by store and security staff
- Some retailers estimate their Push-Out theft losses to be in excess of €1 million a year
Walk-Throughs at Self-Checkout
The increased use of Self-Checkout terminals has amplified the Push-Out challenge to include Walk-Throughs.
Walk-Throughs refer to visitors who take baskets, boxes, bags, and increasingly, shopping carts filled with goods, through the Self-Checkout zone without paying.
Self-Checkout zones are known to have low staffing levels and little or no security or surveillance making them easier target zones for this type of theft.
