I work at a liquor store and we once saw a guy stuffing Grey Goose and Ciroq into his pants directly in front of a security camera so we confronted him and he gave back a bottle and ran the gently caress away saying he didn't want any trouble. Him and his friend left their lovely SUV in front of the store with the windows down and it rained like 3 inches in an hour. Then we had it towed. Meanwhile we called the cops and gave him the info and we got a letter a month or two later saying he got convicted lol He must have had special shoplifting pants though because we noticed on the footage that he actually got away with 2 more bottles we didn't know he took at first. I think we still came out ahead in amusement though.

 I feel like there's some poetry hidden behind stealing a pack of condoms and a pregnancy test.

 It's hard for me to feel one way or the other about these people, as I'm more just baffled that they're bragging about what they stole, and treating it like a war against capitalism (also known as the economy) whose apparent end goal is to—what, dig into retailers' profits? It still increases quantity demanded from the manufacturer and supports off-shored child labor. They're not participating any less in that oppression by not paying for it. Yeah I guess I am vaguely mad at them for increasing the markup that stores use to compensate for theft. This thread made me realize that stealing a physical copy of the book doesn't hurt the author because the store already paid for the royalties when it bought from the publisher, same with a game on a disc. I mean, I have a tech job now so I just pay for stuff, but if The Story of Stuff taught me anything, I'm still basically having value stolen from people whose countries don't have the wealth to protect them on my behalf, by economic hitmen, when I buy a shirt. Actually, I guess the mark-up means that it's really theft on the designer/distributor's behalf, since I'm not getting any sweet deals out of it.

Pretty much all thief's are assholes, but shoplifters are the biggest pussies amongst them. If you're going to steal something at least steal something big like an ATM or a boat

It's not shoplifting, I prefer the term precycling.

Grocery store monkey here: I run self checkout a lot and the scales are pretty sensitive, and results in a lot of "please check weight!" on my PDA thing I carry I just mash the override button any time it beeps at me for pretty much anything and never check it At the register we are required to take the customers word for pricing unless its obviously bullshit and even then I call a manager if they insist. Yesterday someone got a huge loving pumpkin that's normally $50 for $9 If an item is under $5 and they have literally any complaint its free or they can have $5 credit Lastly the most clever thing I saw the other day was someone got a bigass case of beer and loaded stuff inside it, I only got a glimpse of batteries inside it Coupons are overridden basically always and if its busy you can go to customer service after you pay with a grip of coupons and sat you forgot to give them or cashier forgot they'll give you cash. This depends on the anal level on who's working servicepl stringball fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Nov 1, 2015 |

gary oldmans diary posted:ok so on the case of "they report the item price of inventory shrink on their taxes" vs "they report the item cost of inventory shrink on their taxes" i rule that "they report the cost" wins. Both parties are sentenced to put this behind them and move on as well as mutually acknowledge that banana republic is a bad store. this is still p easy to get around, just have Banana Republic Slavery Contractor Clearinghouse sell the clothes to Banana Republic Retail Store at way more than cost but still a bit less than price

FIRST TIME posted:I worked as a retail manager for 5 years and while I had fun outsmarting shoplifters, I could never work up the rage boner some of my co workers had for shoplifters. Because they are not contributing to your paycheck, so you are literally working for free when you have to deal with a shoplifter.

loquacius posted:Oh, it is. A lot of places still do it because the waitstaff probably can't lawyer up for this stuff. I would be completely shocked if Cheesecake Factory was not one of those places. I'd be shocked if Cheesecake Factory was one of those places. Out of the kitchens I've worked in, the bigger corporate places were ALWAYS on top of their poo poo. You'd be in trouble for not taking your breaks or working off the clock no matter what and if there were any payroll issues they'd always comply to the full letter of the law regarding backpay and whatever. I had a friend who worked at the local Hilton's restaurant take on new responsibilities and not get paid, he went to HR and they said 'oh poo poo' and backpaid him for 3 months. It's usually the independent spots that are owned by some dick that are the worst offenders regarding labor rights. Asclepius Hot Rod posted:This why I laugh when posters in this thread talk about pay docking and rationalizing why their theft is actually good and revolutionary and only hurts the fat cats. And anyway you don't fight the courts you just report it to the labor board. They take payroll fuckery very seriously unless you're in some idiot state. If you take it up the rear end it's no one's fault but your own. The only reasonable thing you could say is 'they are scared of losing their job' but whistleblowers are protected by law anyway. If it's some club like that other poster mentioned where you can make $2k tips in a couple weeks then alright maybe don't rock the boat (not that I have a ton of sympathy anyway since it seems like they're making decent money - I'm more talking about retail slaves and servers getting ripped off in burger joints) but otherwise lol. Making your employees bear the cost of shrinkage and other costs of business is scummery and I can't believe people are willing to deal with it. opazlevi posted:Because they are not contributing to your paycheck, so you are literally working for free when you have to deal with a shoplifter. Uh, what? You're getting paid per hour. If you're talking about missing out on commission when you could be upselling to someone else then alright maybe but  at that. How are you 'literally' working for free suddenly when talking to a customer who ends up not buying anything?
