At least Trader Joe's does not have surveillance cameras (at all). https://dan.bulwinkle.net/blog/trader-joes-does-not-have-surveillance-cameras/ https://dan.bu

  They don't... except when they do: > "We trust our customers and do not conduct surveillance on them. When necessary, we take appropriate action, including having security cameras and security guards in our stores, to help ensure the safety of our customers and Crew Members," the company said. https://abc7.com/post/trader-joes-targeted-in-7-socal-armed-robberies/3391702/ https://abc7.com/post/trader-joes-targeted-in-7-socal-armed-...

    That was in 2018 and it seems in 2024 they still do not have cameras. New locations I've seen do not either. I wouldn't be surprised if they weighed the cost of installing and maintaining cameras and the cost of "a string of robberies" and determined cameras were more expensive.

      I'd imagine that at most [e: of their] stores the loss from theft is less than that of spoiled goods.
