The cameras aren't on at all times. Employees are supposed to turn on the cameras to record abusive behavior by scumbags because the company found that people who were stealing were also abusive towards staff in 1 in 4 incidents. It's so employees have a record of the interaction. This also means when the thieving piece of shit makes fake complaints its even easier to ignore because the employee has proof.

Having said all that, if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

Most people are able to get assistance with food which is why most people don't actually steal food they steal stuff to sell to buy drugs.
