Every large chain does.

How are they not?
They're pretty essentially both for catching a lot of shoplifting in the first place, as well as providing evidence in court.
Exactly. Its only useful after the fact. I he shoplifting has already occurred. Cameras do not stop shoplifts. It creates a record after the fact.
They serve as a deterrent for "honest" thieves. Knowing you are being recorded prevents many crimes.
Not all crimes. But many crimes.
