Another Employee Lost- Stop Shoplifting

Last night we had another employee lost to temptation. They seemed to be so in tune to retail theft prevention. They were always quick to point the finger at potential shoplifters and other employees who were stealing.

It was unfortunate to discover that all of this finger pointing was just a smoke screen. He was stealing merchandise and had been for a very long time. Had it not been for our Checkpoint security tags we may not have ever caught him.

He was smart enough to understand that if he simply bagged up merchandise, the EAS alarm would sound when the Checkpoint security tags passed through the exit doors. So he made sure that he went to the register to deactivate all of the tags.

He also realized that if he was deactivating tags at the register, he needed it to look like he was helping a real customer. So he had friends come in to “check out”.

One day, he must have missed a tag because the alarm went off when the customer/ friend left. Later on when I reviewed the alarms and the receipts I realized that no actual sale took place. I researched more and found out just how many time he had been faking sales. Had it not been for the Checkpoint security tags to stop shoplifting, we may not have ever found out his employee was stealing.
