I've seen Walmart arrest a family of Mexicans for shoplifting gift cards that don't even work unless they're activated. They literally just stole worthless bits of plastic.

Stores should arrest people who just cause a mess.

Why put up with it? Damaging goods or putting them in a place they won't get bought has much the same effect as stealing them.

Here expired, damaged and returned goods get sent back to the manufacturer and the store receives credit. It's priced in already, same with 'shrink.'

I don't want to be arrested if I accidentally knock over a shelf or something.

Not uncommon in Europe to see signs "you break it, you pay for it."

I've seen those too, not sure smaller places have the same perks.

You should be. Be careful
