Cub Grocery has mostly ended their 24 / 7 policy, locking down from Midnight to 5am. Also they no longer put Tide and Gain on the shelf: you must ask for it. Also, in one of their more urban locations they position displays and shopping carts to subtly block some easy routes of egress, channeling customer through check out paths.
It's disturbing how many shops encourage employees to not challenge shoplifters to any extent.
Funny story: a few years ago when the wife had surgery on her foot, we asked where to find the handicapped - motorized carts. "They were all stolen."
