TWO-THIRDS OF SHOPPERS AVOID LOCKED DISPLAY CASES _ According to the survey, only 32 percent of shoppers will bother to ask a store employee to unlock a display case. Retailers, including major chains like Target, have increasingly resorted to locking up inventory due to concerns over organized retail crime, despite some experts suggesting that the extent of this issue is exaggerated.

COFFEE MAY PROTECT AGAINST HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES _ What is your relationship with coffee? A recent study suggests that moderate coffee consumption could lower your risk of developing heart conditions like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Researchers collected data from over 500,000 British adults and found that those who drank about three cups of coffee or consumed 200-300 mg of caffeine per day had a significantly lower risk of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases.
