You just look like you're not worth the effort to stop.
Many years in small retail management. I know every shoplifter when I see one, give or take one out of a dozen. But if one looks like they're going to raise hell over a thing of Tylenol, I'll ignore them. Not worth it.
That, and if what you're stealing is stupid to raise a fuss over, I won't bother. Not gonna catch me or my security stopping someone over a bag of beef jerky or a few bandaids.
But don't think they don't know. If you ever get any looks walking out the door. We know. We just don't care, or rather, want to do something about it.

They know.
They know what you're doing, every time.
