I once visited a store on a reservation that posted the names of the shoplifters caught and banned from the store.
It was placed outside the front entrance.

@Adrift The restaurant where I worked posted bounced checks by the door. Every now and then someone would come in, usually very angry about the public humiliation, and pay off their debt.

@Adrift A Filipino woman who worked at Walmart said that they did that in the Philippines when anyone gets caught shoplifting.

@YoMomma is that an option? I'd be for it.

One job I had took them to court and the fine was 1,000 dollars plus court costs.

It all depends upon the context. If the stealing is to stay alive or feed a hungry family, that is scarcely a crime . .

Work it off via community service, mandatory job training with warning, next time will be jail time.

Take something that belongs to them and don’t give it back.

@BlobbyMcBlobface I think that's the punishment in some mid-Eastern countries.
