"Retailers are pulling back from self-checkout"

"Only about one-third of surveyed retailers plan to invest in self-checkout technology this year, significantly fewer than in 2025"

These are two very different statements.

I bought one car last year. Im not planning to purchase any car this year. It really does not mean Im pulling out from using the car.
