There is a reason many retailers have a camera on the till operator. I did install retail "security" for a while. Chain / franchises have a bigger problem than a locally owned shop as often there is no local management, just some of the operators are also supervisors. So I'm sceptical, but it's a misuse of technology even it is effective. All DRM is.

A number of years ago, I was in the office of a Grocery Manager (service call) when he said Look at that (pointing to the security cam screen), 'He has not been thru the regisrer' (Employee was out the back door with a case of beer.)
This is even more common today.
My local Walmart has more and more hardware type stuff in locked cases (a real pain to find a keyholder). Prices reflect this 'shrinkage'
