Would you expect the state to station a police officer at your vegetable stand to make sure that people follow the honor system?

What's the difference between that and Walmart under-staffing?

No, and Walmart isn't expecting the police to station themselves at their stores. I would, however, expect the police to do their job and arrest repeat offenders so they can be locked up and potentially reformed.
