Some retailers already use RFID to track items around the store. They track the full journey of items around the store. Which items go into the fitting room together, which will be eventually bought, etc. Not to combat theft, but to optimize store display and advise given by store clerks. This tracking also allows for accurate inventory display online. A store is in effect a warehouse for the on-line channel.
