Incredibly naive solutions offered by the workers: Hire more colleagues and watch all aisles at all times and hire full-time security guards as well. They really don't seem to understand that this costs more money than it prevents thefts.
I've followed this with San Francisco, where taking $1,000 worth of items from a store is now de facto allowed. (I won't call it theft anymore because of this.) Target, a retail chain, moved to shorter opening hours there, and only there, to slow the bleeding in 2021 and closes ever more stores.
You can see people riding bikes into stores, stuffing a plastic bag full of items and leaving, in full sight of what appears to be a security guard:

In any case, the market takes care of this: Any population that tolerates this kind of behaviour (whether that's a city jurisdiction, or on the council/state level) will, sooner or later, find its stores closed.
Delivery trucks - less attractive targets because of missing information about their wares and whereabouts - will be the next victims.

And of course, already you have people like jaepa say elsewhere that ackshually TX has a higher dollar amount for when shoplifting becomes a felony. TX doesn't have DAs that refuse to prosecute misdemeanor shoplifting charges. CA does. That's the important difference, not so much the dollar amount.
