In order to prosecute shoplifters, the store must first apprehend them. That means spending money on loss prevention agents, including spending a large part of the court on the case. They may only be prosecuted for a misdemeanor, not a felony depending on state law. Some retailers find it cheaper not to prosecute and take the loss.

In my local pharmacy chain, you have to pull a "coupon" off the shelf.

But this increases the wait time in line to pay for your purchases. A new way of the world.

My dad was a thief growing up. He would do it right in front of me and my sister. But he didn’t steal steaks. We went to the Kmart down the road and we got canned goods, milk, cereal, lunchables and things like that. He would put bags in his pockets and use them to put the food in while going down a random isle. I was old enough to know better and I told him he would get caught and I wouldn’t go to the store with him anymore. Eventually, he was caught and got a misdemeanor in front of my little sister. I knew it was wrong…but I still appreciate everything he tried to do. Because we didn’t have anything growing up. All he knew to do was landscape and he was battling skin cancer anytime he worked outside and my mom had some pretty bad mental health issues and brain damage from an attempted suicide. It was brutal. I eventually got custody of my sister and when the state provided us with WIC, we had to meet him in court and he was put on child support he couldn’t pay. I just eventually got a second job and got rid of the WIC cause I knew he would never be able to pay the state back and he was already in a world of debt, lost the house, the car, I didn’t want him to owe more.

I'm disappointed that this point is barely addressed at all, even in the comment section. Had to dig to find someone who can see the gears stalling in this unforgiving machine we call the USA... 😔

Till we get a society where stores have the authority to hire security that can use a taser another non lethal force to stop you it will continue. Look at Milwaukee I drive by five people every night no lights, burnt out light, no registration etc and MPD doesn't bother. I got robbed for $50 in groceries. I would have paid double to catch the person.

I shop at the Safeway 6 miles away in the suburbs because the one 5 blocks from me in the city has everything locked up

A large, large part of the problem is that some retailers aren’t doing their due diligence to stop this. I worked at a big box home improvement store that had a non-interference policy and no loss prevention or security employees. And while that’s great for keeping employees safe, if you don’t even so much as turn footage over to the police, you’ll quickly gain a reputation for being raidable. And they were. Hundreds of dollars worth of power tools were stolen almost every night. It arguably makes the workplace just as unsafe, just in a different way.

In California, its common knowledge inbetween retail workers that you arent allowed to stop shop lifters. The people stealing know they can get away with it as long as there isnt a police in the parking lot. Its a heavy practice within California to 'boost' products from stores.

About a year ago I accidentally walked out of a grocery store with a shopping cart full of groceries I hadn't paid for yet. I had something on my mind so I wasn't thinking about what I was doing. When I got out to my car I realized in "horror" that I didn't pay for the items. I literally ran pushing the cart back into the store. I went to the manages office and told her what happened. She was so causal about it. She said: "Oh that's ok you can just go ahead and check out". To this day I can't figure out why the alarms didn't go off.

I ALWAYs found reasons to avoid shopping with her. 2 years went by and I had moved and received a letter that said I was right. She then described the minor nightmare she went through for her criminal behavior not just police and tickets and the general fallout. Her mother and step father......whooooo. That sucked. My adult daughter got caught around 12 for trying it. I made her work off the ticket and deal with the shame of it all but also made her do a research paper on what ahoplifting does to everyone else. So highlight how expensive all that shoplifting is to consumers annually. The stores only stay in business if they can make up those product losses somehow.

My folks would have done the same to me if I had shoplifted. Kudos to you for making sure the lesson stuck with your daughter.

when preteens do it, its not bad character. They simply don't understand consequences not only.for them but for others as well for the stolen items. put them yhroigh the works so they know why its wrong, not just because society says so.

I've seen kids run away with cans and chips in a second world country, where they were orphans, dirty and homeless and clearly starving. On the other hand I've seen perfectly healthy teens and adults in the US stealing chips for the pleasure of stealing at a liquor store. That there is a shame. As prices go up in the US, they also go up in these countries that import products making extra millions of people barely able to afford them.

You're a good parent

When I worked retail B4 I retired, I know 1st hand customers steal everything!! They carry water bottles under their clothes and pour laundry detergent, etc. into them. It was an expensive loss for the company. Shrink as theft is called has gotten worse a lot of it due to drug addicts. I witnessed that also. Laundry detergent, shampoo, etc. for drugs.

In the UK, we use those cards for small things like SD Cards or gift cards.

I work at a dollar tree. I’ve never seen so much stealing before in my life and people wonder why prices go up ☹️

michael witynski was dollar tree ceo less than six months in 2020 and he earned $11.3 million dollars.11.3 million dollars in 6 months and steady share rates rising 21% even though average min wage yearly in the states is still locked in place at $15-16k. one could argue that if sales keep going up and bonuses keep going up but wages stay super low, it's not like theft really has ANYTHING to do with prices except provide a easy scapegoat so they can again raise prices and pretend that's what the money goes towards.

Might have something to do with little to no repercussions for theft and that people that may try to stop thieves end up receiving more punishment for the attempt...

Exactly. If you aren’t allowed to stop the bad behavior, expect it to continue or increase.

Or it might have to do with inflation and people unable to afford basic household items and food. Punish the companies making billions in profit than the people stealing 20$ worth of goods.

It's eventually going to be a case of you placing your order on the phone. Arrive at the store entrance. Walk into a room with numbered lockers. Unlock your locker with a key code on your store app and take your order. You will never see the inside of the store again. Even now employees in some stores go in through a two-stage mantrap to access the back of the store.

The siren doesn't ring in the front door?? In canada only baby formula is locked up. Or electronics
