Big news in the RFID promotion-tracking space came last week as Goliath Solutions of Deerfield, Illinois, announced a multi-year agreement with giant US pharmacy Walgreens to install its technology across the chain's 5,000+ locations. The deal marks one of the biggest developments to date in RFID-enabled promotion tracking, long cited as a potentially promising application of the technology. There has not been much activity in the space... because the retail applications of RFID have manifested further upstream, at the point of manufacture and down through the supply chain. The implicit understanding seems to be that RFID-enabled supply chain visibility must come before downstream benefits like in-store promotions tracking can be realized. Goliath Solutions disagrees.

SHIA LaBEOUF was arrested in downtown Chicago early yesterday morning outside a Walgreens, after repeatedly ignoring requests that he leave the store, TMZ.com reports. The 21-year-old “Transformers” star was asked numerous times by a security guard to leave the drug store, cops told the celebrity site. The security guard wanted the actor out because he appeared drunk. But when LaBeouf refused, the guard detained him and called the cops. Police said the Hollywood hunk was “very courteous and polite” with them and posted bond before 7 a.m. yesterday. He was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing and is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 28.
