Well, I don't think it's specifically anti-Marxist to prevent shoplifting (I might be wrong), but are you getting paid to prevent it?
In my experience working retail, they gave me some instructions about, like, asking customers questions and watching for weird shit, but they never hired actual security and any attempt to physically intervene to stop anyone would have been at our own risk and offered no additional payment benefit. If that's the kind of situation you're dealing with, I don't think there's any good solution to this. Working a store where shoplifting is very common sounds dismal just because that's a very chaotic situation, but if they're not paying you for security then that limits what you can do, and the problem itself is a deeper one than you can singularly fix. It's not really good to ignore it, but you also can't solve it and your employer is unlikely to see the thefts as a large enough liability that they'd justify paying for better security. You could bring it up to them just as a safety issue. Shoplifting itself is morally gray, but I'm not going to shame you for hating to see it.
