Shoplifting CAN be stopped, but the price is too high for most. In additional personnel, added inconvenience to customers, and reduced sales due to those issues.
But go into an inner city corner store and see how they stop shoplifting. Everything is behind the counter, and you have to ask for it. You don't get it, until you pay. Try that with a large store though.
