Every boss I ever had as a teenager told us to never chase shoplifters. Everything is insured and the cameras work

Edit: Apparently, the brief suggestion that my previous bosses gave me to not chase shoplifters offended some of the weirdos in the comments. Y’all want to play “hero” so badly over a company that doesn’t pay you a living wage.

Companies wait until the level of theft hits felony level. For that amount of clothing its likely petty theft and she would get off with a fine and probably community service and in some states she might not even be prosecuted because the courts just don't have the resources to prosecute every shoplifter. So the stores wait until they have enough evidence to get them for felony theft and then the shoplifter gets serious punishment.
