Or how about, "Hey people, stop stealing!". Hehehee....maybe that'll work...

It is funny to compare who spends what on which types of systems. People that should spend a bundle, go super cheap and people you would expect to go cheap don't.
Liability is a big reason for spending money on a security system.
Even if you are a small coffee shop, you are required, by law, to provide a "reasonable level of security" for your customers and your employees. Improper/inadequate systems can get the owner sued if something were to happen.
Fake cameras and cameras that are not recorded are big no-no's as they open you up for a huge potential lawsuit as they provide a "false sense of security".
I have even seen a couple big jury awards after it was found that the system wasn't working properly. Not only do you need to have it, it needs to be maintained properly.
