They're back! I don't really blame the major retailers for doing this but, it can make a shopping trip rather nerve wracking if you are not careful. Might want to be aware that these people are communicating with a person in the back camera area. They are directed to watch/follow those people who have been in the store for several minutes and have nothing in their carts. Or those who go down the same isle several times. Perhaps getting up the nerve to steal something. Also, they look for certain appearances. Those with tattoos, have a backpack, and looking around nervously perhaps checking out where the camera is. If they have been in the store 10 minutes and don't have anything in their carts. That sort of thing. Retailers lose an estimated $47.8?billion each year to external shoplifting, with total retail theft reaching $94.5?billion per year. They can't stay in business if that continues so I can understand them watching people.
