Wow, what kind of dystopia do you live in? In my town, they're just happy you went to their store, and I presume cracking down on what little shoplifting there is would drive away more business than it saves.

New Jersey, as I said in another reply it's not a bad area but they have high traffic. I haven't seen the signs in the upper class neighborhoods grocery stores though.

Ew, I guess that's another reason to never live in NJ...

I have never seen that even in shitty areas.

Admittedly, in the upper class neighborhood grocery stores I don't see those signs. The areas I see them aren't shitty though they are fairly high traffic compared to what I assume would be a typical store.

I looked for but couldn't find a photo of such a sign on DDG. I'll take a picture of one next time I need to get groceries.
