Because they'd need to prove that they had policies, procedures and disciplinary processes in place: all of which dilutes the core business of nicking christmas presents.
Things get really silly in the states. Big shops (like Walmart) specifically do not have written crowd management and control procedures written down. Why? Because if they did and they didm't work, or if someone was injured and an expert could be persuaded to say that they were not good enough or if the staff did not follow them, then the would be liable for a law suit. Consequently shop staff do not know how to manage large crowds. Consequently people die from crush injuries outside these shops.
