Still true today, but the manager’s performance metrics probably has a shrink reduction number. So he loses either way and the store wins either way. More neo-feudalism.
At Kohl’s last year watched a guy bring an empty Kohl’s bag, fill it up from the racks, then go to customer service for a refund (said he lost his receipt). Told the clerk about they said something like “yeah we know - he does this often”. They are trained to avoid confrontations and let the wheels of justice grind slowly off in the distance.
