    The goal here isn't to get employees to stop people from stealing -- you're right that it's a liability issue -- the goal is to get better video to prosecute theft after the fact. There may be some knock-on worker surveillance effects, but with how short staffed a lot of stores are I wonder how much of this footage will be reviewed unless there's something specific to go back and look for.

      They'll likely outsource the video check to some AI outfit providing the service.

      Might have to wait for the right price point, but I don't think it will be long.
