Don’t end the game before you even get started

One of the training tools I have used over the years with store employees is how to handle the store’s merchandise. I don’t mean how to avoid damages and move product without hurting himself or herself, or someone else (even though those are very important also!)

What I am talking about is how to move product that has soft labels as part of a Checkpoint security system. Checkpoint labels are designed to not be a customer disservice issue. They are designed to deactivate properly at the point of sale.

I all too often see stocking employees set a stack of product down at the counters of the registers. They do not realize that the deactivator pads will deactivate all of those Checkpoint labels even though there is not a sale in progress.

All of those Checkpoint labels are worthless if they have been deactivated. If the product goes out onto the sales floor from there, then the merchandise is vulnerable to shoplifters.

It’s discouraging to think that your own employees could be thwarting your anti shoplifting tools without even realizing it. A Checkpoint security system is only as good as you allow it to be. Don’t eliminate it before it even has a chance to work properly. Train your associate to understand how to keep it running.

Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase retail anti theft devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system from Checkpoint Systems to stop shoplifting in your store.
