Yeah I used to work retail for a major store and I know that while they did have cameras and stuff being monitored, plus plainclothes security, they can't have been watching too closely, because I put things away in a hidden place in the stockroom like a private layaway (many did this themselves), and we were never caught, or handled money in a way that could have looked suspicious (like breaking change for myself; an official no-no) and was never called on it.
The point is, yeah in some stores they are watching, but in others they aren't. Plus, they are trying to watch for real shoplifters in some tiny office somewhere. if they see somebody lash their boyfriend in a semi secluded area of the store, they just might not care enough to try and catch them. By the time they get there they are likely gone anyway.
