Customers are significantly less likely to try and pocket something if there’s a risk of them being called up on it, or actually caught on camera.
Even if they never actually catch anyone, the fact that people can see the cameras would likely serve as a deterrent.
Is that not a good thing? Less chance of criminal activity, less chance of getting stabbed whilst stacking shelves?
Absolutely. I just find it a bit…much when they try to label this as a means to protect staff when everything they do signals that isn’t their main motive.
Gotcha. I understand your point of view, I just think maybe they can do both? Protect their liability against being sued for safety on the workplace and at the same time reduce the risk of their employees getting hurt.
