"Like the Apple Store? Who has done away with the idea of checking out completely. I can see self checkout working at a boutique " Apple and boutique same thing high price and margins on the products (generally). Important to factor in that at the Apple store the margins are extremely high. So this is not the local drugstore making pennies when selling razor blades. You can't really lift the computers and desirable products and the other things come with enough margin to cover any theft. If you've ever priced some of either the add ons (like hard drives) laptop bags vs. what you can buy them on Amazon for you can see how much they are making and that well covers the cost of some shoplifting. And on the Apple products even larger. An Apple lightning to 30 pin connector sells for $39. I wouldn't even want to guess how cheap this is to manufacture (I'm talking about marginal cost of course) in other words what their loss is if one is lifted.
