No, my counterpoint is that Target’s strategy seems to have worked, and also that there exists the possibility that someone would opt to not shoplift at all due to the harsher penalties set by Target, and being unsure how widespread that practice is.

To be clear, I think the actual problem with shoplifting is systemic suppressed wages coupled with inflation and arbitrary price hikes by corporations.

You're saying that people should be aware of Target's practices, which is why it works?
