...I'm failing to see how that is a lot different than wearing one in this type of work setting.



Just thinkin'/musing about this ... IF employees wore body cameras would it decrease the number of actions we're seeing?
 
A lot of arrows pointing to fake. 1) not another soul in the store, 2) security doesn’t help (and what security employee wears a sheriffs badge around their neck with no uniform?), 3) when she opens the box, the shoes are wrapped as from the factory (never tried on), and 4) why is a cashier wearing a camera?

While it makes practical sense, no retailer is currently doing it. They have security cameras everywhere, especially at the checkout. Retail employee turnover is extremely high and the cost to supply (is the recording on the device or at a central terminal so that management can monitor both the employee and customer?) and train employees on how to use the camera just adds costs - regardless of any benefit.

What do you consider the average cost of a body cam? A decent one?
 
If I owned my own retail store, it would he absolutely covered in cameras. Not sure I'd have any interest in having employees wear them, though they'd be on camera themselves everywhere other than the bathroom.
