Giant Food bans large bags in stores to combat retail theft, implementing a 14" x 14" x 6" size limit.

Giant Food, a major grocer in the DC area, has banned large bags such as suitcases and duffel bags in its stores to combat retail theft. This follows a series of preventative measures, including limiting self-checkout purchases and hiring more security guards. The new policy prohibits bags larger than 14" x 14" x 6" and is part of the company's effort to mitigate the impact of theft on product availability, customer convenience, and employee and customer safety.
