All stores like HD, Lowes, supermarket chains, have cameras pointing at all

they are recording. The purpose is to protect the stores from fraudulent

Me and JH did some T1 cable extension work in some Sears stores and the
loss control folks had a monitor room where they were watching the whole
store inside and out. ^_^

Okay. I bet shoplifting is higher in a Sears than a supermarket. And
slip-and-falls higher in a supermarket where there are spilled liquids that
people can pretend they slipped and fell on. As for HD and Lowes??

They record everything to defend themselves from the fake slip and falls
launched by the local attorneys who run ads on late night TV and to
document activity for prosecution purposes. Likely someone is watching
and it is handy to have a recording after the fact.
