In California, this would be considered a misdemeanor as long as the merchandise is valued at $950 or less per shoplift...

I work in retail, as a low level employee, for a multimillion dollar corporation. Most of the employees don't care if you steal and generally, employees are NOT allowed to confront shoplifters, follow them, or accuse them of anything. It's too much of a liability for the corporation. They would rather lose a couple hundred in merchandise, than a couple thousand in a lawsuit.

My main piece of advice to shoplifters would be; don't hit the same store more than once or twice because we DO notice and at a certain point, if we DON'T report you, it makes US look suspicious. At the end of the day it's every man for himself.

We had one shoplifter at my store, who came in every day, at the exact same time, wearing the exact same clothes. DON'T DO THIS. After a couple days I had to report her because she was being super obvious. If it was only once or twice, I would've let it slide.

When they know that they should get a job, but they choose not to..
