I'm glad you're speaking up about how the idea that shoplifting hurts the workers seems a little suspicious. Everywhere I worked retail, unless I guess there was suspicion that you were in on it, was "just let them go, maybe try to get a description so we can kick them out next time"

And it’s exactly the kind of thing that some bourgeois would seed online and all the woker than thou tumblr kids would eat it up and spread it as far as they can. Every time I bring this up I get several people telling me this - that they’ve never even heard of a first-hand account of this, that it’s inconsistent with how retail chains view shoplifting, etc

I mean, I’ve never had a job even train me on how to stop shoplifting! Most of the places I’ve worked have never even talked about it, and they definitely don’t expect the cashiers and stockers to be making like, citizen’s arrests lest they lose their bonuses. Oh, and you better believe that if I accused someone of lifting when they weren’t I’d be fired immediately for bad service. That’s not the behavior they want to encourage

Again I’m not going to outright say that it never happens or that the idea itself is propaganda, but at worst it’s such a negligible effect that it’s far outweighed by the benefit you get from lifting + the damage to the company

We get people shoplifting pretty often. We’re not even allowed to stop people from shoplifting by force. We have a security guard, and even they can only make police reports after a thing already happens. The most any of us can do, that we ever do, is approach a shoplifter and tell them to leave. Most of the time they leave with the items, because we can’t touch them or rip things out of their hands or bags. That’d be a legal nightmare. You can’t arrest nor can you physically confront anyone unless your store has it’s own legal precedent for detaining people (like actual cops in shopping malls).

Management can’t, and doesn’t, make us responsible for this. And we’re a small local grocery that actually feels the pinch when people shoplift. It comes out of our budget though, not our paychecks, because every business has insurance that covers these things, not to mention an acceptable amount of loss that’s accounted for. If someone steals some orange juice, the sales-to-purchase logs I make every week lump it right in with the yogurt I opened to give out a free sample. Loss is loss and it’s part of business. Unless you’re selling TVs or something like that, you can’t always even be sure of how much you’re losing - since, again, you can’t just grab and shake em down to find what they stuffed in their bag.

If your boss tries to intimidate and make you and your coworkers feel responsible for shoplifters, it’s all hot air. You’re only screwed if you’re the one doing it and you get caught.

(hot tip though: with tiny business like us, you can actually get lucky by just asking for day-olds. It can’t hurt to try. We give food out constantly. I probably give away at least $1000 or more in food per month. Steal from Walmart)

Holy shit holy shit shut the fuck up???

You know what they do when there’s a high theft in stores? Cut hours

Cutting hours is basically, functionally, the exact same thing as cutting your wagea to the employee. All store has “theft discouragement training” so if your area has a high amount of thdft they will ABSOLUTELY cut the hours of the people working in those areas! Like this is an actual thing I have had to deal with. There’s theft in your department? It’s becaude you didn’t smile enough to make the shoplifter uncomfortable and stop? Because you didn’t pay attention to every customer that you saw nd if you had been you could’ve stopped it because then they would know you were aware of them! And if that happened that MUST mean you’re giving poor customer service!

I have actually seen this. I have worked for MULTIPLE large chains and this basically how they “make up for lost income” because cutting hours when profits are down, or because they aren’t providing good customer service, is perfectly legal. I have literally dealt with this shit before personally.

Stop saying nothing happens to employees when shoplifting occurs, that is blatantly untrue and only allows shoplifters to feel even more enabled to steal and fuck over some poor employee.

Stop.

Bad news friend: Walmart doesn’t give their employees hours out of the kindness of their own heart. Large chains always stay as understaffed as logistically possible at all times, because that’s how capitalism works. They’re incentivized to exploit you as much as possible so they do that, regardless of the circumstances

If your management tells you they’re cutting hours because of shoplifting, they’re either using it as an excuse to fuck you over even more while making you think it’s your fault, or trying to get you to work harder and betray other poor people for free by convincing you it’s in your self-interest to do so. But the best deterrent for shoplifting is a well-staffed store and they know it, they know that cutting hours due to shrinkage would be counterproductive, but they do it anyway because that’s not their motivation for doing it

I’ve worked for multiple large chains too you know, and so have dozens of people I’ve seen saying this excuse is bullshit (check the replies for more!). What I’ve learned is that it’s impossible to determine the source of shrinkage, whether theft or miscounted/damaged/lost/underdelivered inventory. I’ve learned that some amount of shrinkage, including from theft, is always expected and accounted for. I’ve learned that it’s virtually always way too much of a liability to have employees on the floor try to stop shoplifting, and most of the time the only training on the topic I received was to not do anything. I’ve had jobs where I stole something almost every shift and no one ever caught on or brought it up - I mean do you guys really think lifting is such an unexpected and uncommon thing that they have to go into panic mode every time it happens? Please

Your enemy isn’t the single mother lifting baby food, it’s your boss. These retail chains can afford to give you the hours and the pay that you need, but they don’t - not because you’re doing a bad job, but because you let them get away with it. You and your employer have an inherently adversarial relationship, and the best course of action isn’t to bow down to their demands and attack other poor people who are just trying to get by, it’s to fight back. You should be supporting the lifters, looking the other way, covering for them - joining them! - not blaming them for your boss’s abuse. Stop swallowing their propaganda

In the past I have literally worked for a grocery chain that was making increasing annual profits year after year. That same branch, let alone chain, continued to severely understaff the sales floor, resist giving out due raises, had a policy against ever coming close to overtime, and literally prevented every single cashier from being anything more than part time.

Shoplift. Shoplift to your heart’s content. Because I’m telling you that the guff they give low level/minimum wage workers is 100% bullshit. They’re feeding you lies in order to take the onus off of the bosses and owners for leeching off of your labour. They want you to despise both your fellow workers (“More workers steal than customers do”) and the poor and working class masses.

A franchise does not suffer from petty theft, even en masse. Unless we all unanimously rose up to tear these fuckers down, they have an intricate system of protections from banks, insurance, other company ventures, hoarded wealth of the owners, the state, etc that will protect the owners from ever taking a real hit. If they lay you fellows down it’s to boost their own salaries and year-end bonuses.

Don’t peddle their crap for them.

i was a softlines department manager back in like 2007, when they had department managers. they are lying to you when they say your hours are being cut due to shoplifting. the less hours used the better because it goes to the store manager’s bonus. shoplifting is 100% already taken into account as a reality of running a retail business. Literally all any employees besides higher management and A.P. (assets protection) was permitted to do when they see shoplifting was report it and approach the person and ask them if they need help, making it known that an employee is now aware of them.

the one department they kept telling us before i was a manager that they “didn’t staff because of theft” was women’s accessories, aka, bras and panties. truth of the matter was that the fitting room’s person was supposed take care of it, and that person WAS the women’s accessories employee. it was a lie to keep people on their toes. yes, a lot of theft happened in that area, but not of bras and panties. electronics was around the corner, and customers are smart enough to notice that no one is ever organizing the bras. electronics remained fully staffed to walmart’s qualifications. do did softlines.

they want you desperate, it makes their use of you easier. they want you blaming each other, instead of working together; it makes you easier to use.

I once had a boss admit flat out, “letting the shoplifter go is way cheaper than the lawsuit we’d have to deal with if you got hurt trying to stop them.”

pokkeyaki

i can attest that at joann’s we were specifically instructed to never ever accuse someone of stealing and we were not allowed to do absolutely anything about it

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense). I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen. Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.

this bitch hooked me up.

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

DUDE! INASNE SHIT!! So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash. Lemme dole it out for her. BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!! This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock. You’re worth it.

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged: https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

I have been following her for years on deviantart.

Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.

This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)

anstarwar

Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support! I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon. If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!

cacodaemonia

Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.
