Answer

What can airport shops do to prevent perfume and sunglasses theft?

Airport shops can reduce theft by combining staff training, clear display rules and technology such as RFID tags or item alarms. Expensive products are easier to protect when they are not fully self-service and when staff can react quickly to unusual behaviour. Good prevention depends on both people and systems working together.
