Crazy idea I know, but some shops employ a “security guard” for this purpose. They have to pay them with money instead of warm drinks, but as the security guard works directly for them, nobody can complain that they’re hogging the attention of very thinly-spread police resources.
Security guards in the UK don’t have any rights, they can’t arrest, they can’t use force, they can’t do shit. They are nothing more than a decoration, sadly.

Security guards are there only to be witnesses to crimes when committed, for the police if/when they show up, as far as I know.
