How Do I Stop Theft in My Shop?
Quick answer

Most shop theft is cheap to prevent. Put cameras on the entrance, till and high-value shelves, keep a clear view of the floor, control who can reach the till and storeroom, and use a simple door chime or alarm. Visible cameras deter customers, and recorded footage settles staff disputes.
