It’s looting during business hours. Looters should be shot. Really shoplifting is no different than looting except there is no breaking and entering.
Shoplifters need to be tazed on the spot by trained and authorized store employees who are big and burley. Then put in stocks outside the entrance. Same as Ye old stocks of early America. Where Walmart shoppers can throw rotten eggs at the culprit give him some good slaps in the face. A few heads on pikes, by the entrance for the violent shoplifters, especially ones who pull knives.
