Shops return to rural Sweden but are now staff-free

I'm not sure that'd be a solid strategy. You have to scan your ID to get into the store. So just to raid for a 10L of milk, you'd have to then break and enter, not just steal the milk. The store is probably riddled with cameras and, with the low population density, there's not a great chance you can get away with breaking and entering, much less stealing.

Currently no one would think twice about a masked person entering a store, so I'm not sure about the usefulness of the cameras.

I would like to see how secure the entry points really are, because I doubt it a lock.

BankID which is used to open the doors uses a password and a second factor for authentication (hardware token or secret from SIM card).

As most grocery stores aren't open 24 hours there is plenty of opportunity for people to break into grocery stores with no one in them and steal but that isn't a common enough issue to worry about.
