One time I saw a customer stealing at the self checkout but I wasn’t in a mood to approach them, but I had to configure the machine next to them. Security guy came up to me a few hours later and congratulated me and said he saw me “combatting theft on the camera earlier.”

I never confronted the customer and they left with everything without paying, so I don’t even know what crack that security guy was smoking.

IIRC when I worked retail/grocery you're always told to never engage, but make your presence known (how that will stop someone stealing, I dunno.)
