I recently read any article that discussed the amount of "shoplifting" (stealing items from stores for anyone not familiar with the term) from retail stores, especially this time of year. According to the article, there are billions (yes, billions!) of dollars worth of merchandise stolen every year with a high percentage of it at Christmas time. People use coats with false pockets, something called a booster bag and even just baggy clothes to hide their loot.
Just think how much money a retail store could save by virtually eliminating this problem by having everyone shop nude. Nothing could be hidden or slipped in a pocket or down a pants leg. A nice warm store, even if the temperature outside is freezing, should not have any problems getting people in. They could even reduce their prices since they wouldn't have to worry about things being stolen. Somehow, in their quest to get more people into stores, sell more, and reduce costs, I cannot find anyone who does it. Maybe we could suggest this to store owners and see what they think.
