When I worked in retail, anecdotally, it was my understanding that most theft was internal. At Real Canadian Superstore (think Walmart Supercenter, but not Walmart) I saw lots of my coworkers steal all kinds of things. We went through one loss prevention after another, fired for, you guessed it, stealing (ironic, I know). Most of my co workers stole their food for their meal breaks. I very rarely saw or heard of a customer being caught stealing. And no, no one reported others to management.
If you didn't notice the customers stealing you were probably too busy actually working and not attending to all the fuckin thieves
or, just maybe, there aren't as many thieves as the coalition of tough on crime lawmakers and corporate interest want you to think there is
There are plenty of thieves because the mechanics of monetizing stolen goods totally changed with online markets and life is tough at the low end of the financial spectrum. It would be shocking if they're weren't. I'm a Democrat who recognizes the worthiness of helping people and hates Republican scumbags. I'm not buying into any narrative I'm just recognizing reality.
