How to be a better lifter
Work retail. Seriously. ESp if youāre one of those lifters who feel like every one is on to them. When working retail you (I) can never really focus on anything Besides folding and saying hi to people who walk in. Itās really hard to be doing my job and looking for people who might steal. But it is my second week so maybe Iāll get better at noticing shoplifting (not that I would tell obviously lmao)
I worked in retail for quite a while and I literally never got better at finding shoplifters. Making sales goals and keeping the store clean were way higher on the priority list.
Same ^ I worked at Target and I worked Customer Service so I had the perfect view of the LPās office (the only LP guy we had) and I never once saw him take someone in there and never once was there police at my store while I worked. Plus I always knew his schedule which was every Saturday off. I worked 40 hours a week too. So itās nice to learn the inner workings of the LP at your store. I also learned that my Staples doesnāt have any LP or cameras from working there. Working retail is awesome for shoplifters.
Iāve worked at pac sun, forever 21, and old navyĀ You literally donāt have the time or energy to spot lifters or even care to spot them because it simply isnāt our jobs to find lifters either. Of course theres those few SA who are die hard to find the lifters but really we normal dont even think about it
you do have to be careful with dressing room SAs still since that IS part of their job to follow policy to prevent shoplifting. otherwise yes
Okay so I was in F21 the other day trying some shit on and they have mirrors in their dressing rooms but they have a little ledge on top, so I guess when people lift they put tags there. I'm assuming its policy that between people they check the ledge, and the girl literally ran her hand across and it and knocked down 10 hard tags. Then she was just like oh shit sorry about that, scrambled to pick them up and then literally threw them into this giant ass bin that was just FULL of cut off and ripped out tags, paper and hard. And she just smiled at me like it was nothing. These people don't give a fuck honestly and if any of them do, they need to find a better paying job that will reward them for at least trying to stop lifters.
