Maybe if there were like 2 employees in the store, people would feel less comfortable stealing shit.

The Joann fabric near us has these speakers that will say something like "ask an associate if you need anything" when you walk near them. They put them near the expensive shit.

Clearly, it's an attempt to alert staff when someone is walking near the expensive stuff, but like...the store has 2 employees and when they're not checking people out, they're trying desperately to keep up with the boxes of unloaded freight clogging up the aisles.

Nobody is watching you steal stuff.
