(CNN) - TJ Maxx, Marshall’s and Home Goods have equipped some store employees with police-like body cameras.

The stores’ parent company TJX said the measure is meant to thwart shoplifting and keep customers and employees safe.

The company did not share its policy on when the cameras are turned on, but a spokesperson said it only shared video footage if law enforcement requests it or in response to a subpoena.

TJX is not the only retail chain looking at body cameras. About a third of U.S. retailers said they were researching body cameras for employees, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation last year.

Despite its growing trend, worker advocates said improved training, better staffing levels and other safety investments do more to reduce shoplifting.

They'll soon have armed Chat-GPT robots patrolling these stores.

Politicians don't give af tho, they only shop online with our tax dollars.

So they're going to follow black people around the stores and catch less than 10% of the shoplifters (I still think it is mostly white and hispanics doing this).

Then they hand the footage over to the police and the police are like cool and toss it in a bottomless file.
