How do stores like Aldi, and dollar general, and save a lot deal with theft. They don’t have lost prevention in there stores, and they run on a skeleton screw.
I used to work there and I was told by an assistant manager that they don’t like to prosecute because it takes to much time and money. Also they don’t have time to review footage?! People use Self checkout daily and steal and I bet half don’t get caught. Even repeat offenders! Especially if you ain’t catching in the act.

Despite what big stores want you to believe, the overwhelming majority of people won’t steal anything, ever, and the majority of people who do steal don’t steal much. And at a store that basically only has cheap things, stealing what you can carry still doesn’t actually cause very much in terms of loss – it’s not like dollar general has things in it that cost thousands and thousands of dollars to steal. If it’s $100 face value that probably only cost the store $30-$40. The many, many more honest shoppers make up for that.
