Why do retailers waste so much money trying to stop shoplifters?

All they need to do is hire someone to stand at the exit chanting "SWIPER, NO SWIPING!"

    guy came in with an empty backpack

    left with a noticeably more full backpack, bought one t-shirt

    we all called it the moment he went upstairs

    Shoplifting from a thrift store is pretty pathetic though

    The only thing more pathetic would be shoplifting from, like, Dollar Tree

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    best shoplifter was the guy who grabbed a calculator and ran straight for the door - except it was the "in" door and would only open from the outside.

    And that is why a master criminal can hide a heavy sniper rifle whilst completely naked.

    if someone does like a really egregious tag swap I'll call a price check, unless there's a line
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    because the dudes in back take like, literally 5 minutes to reprice things

    even though they literally just stick whatever price they think makes sense off the top of their head on there

    Grandma works at Lowe's and she was really proud a few weeks ago because she apprehended a shoplifter

    It was kinda cute

    we're instructed not to chase down shoplifters. Not worth it.

    instead, when shifty-looking people enter, we stalk them.

    Grandma technically isn't supposed to stop shoplifters but she had the store security guy with her and he let her confront the lady herself

    I still really want to know why it takes this long

    I've been out on the floor, had a customer ask me to price something, you just run in, grab a sticker, put it on there, run back out

    it takes one minute, tops

    do they just not care about customer service??????

    (spoiler alert: they don't care about customer service)

    at grocery stores that aren't trader joe's there are usually signs that say "DON'T PUT SHIT IN YOUR REUSABLE BAGS BEFORE CHECKING OUT YOU FUCKERS" so that's their solution

    trader joe's probably just doesn't care because you can't walk out without passing the cashiers also their profitability derives from their german owners having the lance of longinus anyways

    Age of Empires turns out to be right in that religious relics can generate money
