in the old days there were many more shop workers and there was very little self serve, it was all customer assistance. So the solution to theft is they can employ more staff.
But the money the owners don't pay in wages by having very few staff is far less than what they ever lose in theft.
Therefore I do not care. I don't steal but I do not care.
That's very true. They're still making millions in profit, so they'll make up for what people steal anyway.
