Walmart's implementation of body cameras primarily aims to shield employees from customer harassment and to deter theft, reflecting a pressing need to enhance worker safety.
The growing trend of body-worn cameras in retail indicates a broader sector response to increasing theft and violence, with over a third of retailers starting to explore this technology.
The rising threat of theft has been significant for retailers, with estimates implying that Walmart's surveillance strategy could mitigate losses stemming from an annual $132 billion in retail theft.
Walmart's move to equip employees with body cameras raises questions about whether the primary goal is to safeguard workers or to protect inventory from potential theft.
