Because you don't want to agitate a criminal into assaulting anyone, or worse, and potentially causing even more harm to other people. The employees are trained to NOT provoke, they want the situation to deescalate, it's not rocket science.
No, you don't. You want to knock the SOB out with a baseball bat before he even realizes. That or point a 44 Magnum at his worthless head and tell him to drop the loot or die.
That's because these things keep happening in far-left cities where the Democrats has a total lock on elective office, and where they've made it so criminals are enabled and emboldened while innocent victims are hamstrung. So yes, actually, it DOES have to do with politics; the politics of pandering to the criminal class and their supporters instead of the law-abiding, with increasing lawlessness being the inevitable, and entirely predictable, result.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with all the stories that come out of Florida.
As for shoplifters getting away with crimes nearly every retailer has forbid their employee from going after them. This is a national policy and not unique to cities run by liberals.

I grew up in Florida, so I'm well aware of Florida Man's antics.
And yes, you're right about store policies. And I know that shoplifting occurs in each and every one of our 50 states. But consider where it's more likely to happen:
In City A, where the police have been ordered to stand back, and the prosecutors won't prosecute a lot of the people who are arrested, and the focus is more on "restorative justice" than on punishment, and the public keeps electing people who pander to the criminal element; OR
In City B, where the police will arrest you if they catch you, and the prosecutors will prosecute you, and the focus is more on punishment against criminals, and the public wants the laws enforced and the lawbreakers punished.
Since it's San Fran, where everything is backwards, the police will likely arrest the paying customer and store owner.
Thief likely received a shopping list from an intermediary for a warehouse operation who will sell to third parties who don’t ask questions and resell on Amazon, FB market, Craig’s List and even flea markets. It’s Organized theft and plaguing all metro areas, everywhere including conservative areas.
^ makes mention of Question 780 that reduced former felonies to misdeamers and eliminated prison sentences.
Some might recall, Kushner and Ivanka were engaged in Criminal Justice reform, focused on reducing consequences for non- violent crimes.
Walgreens and CVS work together with LE to find the big fish and warehouses, typically a SF residence stripped to serve as warehouse.
It’s a revolving door of thieves. Arrest one and #100, are willing to replace him. Many are addicted homeless and engage in the daily grind to get the funding for their next dose.
The US really needs to explore offshoring incarceration of violent offenders to countries with substantially cheaper sources of labor to create more room for non- violent offenders.
California’s threshold for felony theft is in the lower half compared to all states. Texas and Wisconsin have the highest thresholds.
I prefer to chop a finger off of convicted thieves. Sew em up and toss them a bottle of generic antibiotics and call it a day. Cheaper than jail, court costs, warrants, prison, parole and so on.

Is this a California thing; bananas being sold in a drug store?

It's been years, but I believe I once read that in certain areas if stores build in a 'food desert' and they accept WIC/EBT(?) they were required to carry fresh food of some kind. I sometimes see it in gas station marts too.
Putin saw the same video. played in on russian state TV and stated, this is why Russia will dominate the US. Gotta admit, he has a point...
He certainly does have a point. He also knows that the right man is sitting in the white house that would make his life a little easier. Make no mistake, if anyone else was in the white house, Russia would not have invaded the Ukraine, unless of course it was the great, all knowing, VP Miss Giggles........Putin got a "Two for One" after the last election.
