You do know the people at the doors aren't even there to catch/stop shop lifters, they're there to prevent them, by scaring them with their presence. In most store's policies it is against their code to stop people, touch them, make them open their bags, chase them, etc. The same goes for the beeping things, no one (the employees) cares when they go off except the people they go off on. They are just there to scare people from shoplifting, next time you accidentally set one off, just keep walking and see the lack of caring.
My friend worked as a "Loss Prevention" officer at ROSS, all they are allowed to do is walk around the store and look at people being suspicious, they aren't even allowed to verbally confront a thief.
And don't let all those cameras and people at the doors of Walmart fool you, they really don't care if you steal, and don't even press charges if it's under $10 or $15. When I was younger i was holding a bottle of liquor under my coat when i lose the grip and it falls out, and i barely catch it from hitting the ground and I make eye contact with the old man sitting by the door and he's just giving me the "It's okay, move along, IDGAF about Walmart" face.
IIN to stress about leaving a store without making a purchase?
