With self checkout and shelves that detect when stock is empty, how much people could they really need.

I have often wondered about the self checkout clerk/guard who's only job it is to do random control checks in case someone tries to steal.

I sort of cant imagine that they would lose more then a full employee wage on theft without that person there. Especially since pretty much every supermarket having insurance against common theft.

Its called “commercial property insurance” and covers both customer and employee theft.

There exist even a version where lost profits on stolen goods are additionally insured but at least that one is rare to see in this context.

Where I live, there are now supermarkets without employees. You scan your card to open the door, shop, and do self-checkout. I assume if you just leave, they'll deduct the value of the items you took from your account.
They don't offer alcohol, though. Cause there's no way to check if you're of drinking age.
