Since the clerk does not need to go to the fitting room, a quick warning can be given as soon as the customer leaves the fitting room, just as when wearing shoes. 2. A quick warning can give customers time to rethink shoplifting.

3. The level of shoplifting customers can be classified. In other words, even if a quick warning is given remotely, a customer who continues to shoplift and keeps away from the fitting room can be judged to be a malicious shoplifter who ignores his or her attention. In this case, the clerk goes to the fitting room and seizes the shoplifter. 4. Since the shop clerk can indirectly heal the customer instead of shoplifting face to face, the risk of damaging the customer's image can be minimized even in the unlikely event that the shopkeeper is not shoplifting. 5. By sending the warning to the cash register instead of directly to the fitting room, the clerk can flexibly deal with shoplifting. Giving shoppers the flexibility to deal with shoppers is crucial, as giving them the irreparable consequences if they were not shoplifting.

6. In addition, this remote operation can be performed by the store clerk regardless of whether the cash register with fitting room information display function issues a warning by looking at the information on the fitting room information display panel, When it is highly probable, a warning sound or a warning message can be output to the warning device in the fitting room, and preventive measures can be taken.
