A little follow-up on retail loss prevention mentality. MANY, IF NOT MOST, LP PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT MANY OF THEIR LONGTIME CUSTOMERS ARE LONGTIME CUSTOMERS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE STORE IS EASY TO RIP OFF.
I quit the company I was working for because: (A) the job sucked and (2) the LP dept was run by some of the worst bottom-dwellers you can imagine. It wasn't just shoplifting policies. Their biggest dreams were nailing employees. The higher up, the better. i.e. Coming into your store after closing to install little-bitty cameras that were looking right at your office.
In one meeting, we were shown a film of an 18 y.o. clerk, about to leave for college on a football scholarship, stealing about 300.00 a day out of his register. As soon as a customer left, he would pull out the money and add it up.
I thought the LP guy was gonna wet his pants. This was his shining moment. I don't think the young man made it to college.
