    This is actually the legal requirement in my country. Even security is just a deterrent and aren’t legally responsible for actually intercepting physically.

      I kind of get why, but I’m so tired of our culture of everyone knowing this so shoplifters know they can get away with almost no consequences.

      It puts the onus on the store so now a bunch of local grocery stores have these plexiglass walls and things which are definitely not safe in a fire.

      And you know the cops are t showing up in a halfway timely manner for petty shoplifting and the serious ones will just run.

        I feel you, but on the flip side I couldn’t give less of a shit about the lost profits giant corporations complain about from theft. Although they do inflate theft numbers to justify increases in price so we lose there too.

        We need to break up like every major retailer and go back to locals.
