How do you stop shoplifting when the shoplifter doesn’t know that they are going to steal?
What? Are we supposed to be mind readers here? How can that even be possible?
Well the reality is that retail theft prevention really can stop shoplifting by opportunist shoplifters. I guess I should start at the beginning. You don’t have to be a mind reader or have a crystal ball. Opportunist shoplifters are shoplifters that don’t plan on coming into your store to steal.
They are presented with the opportunity to steal and decide to take it. What if someone leaves a shirt in a fitting room, and you don’t clean it out before the next person goes in. They may decide that to take that shirt because they are aware that no one knows the shirt is in the fitting room. Therefore, no one will know it is gone.
How about taking a small piece of jewelry because no one is looking, or because no one came to help them?
What if your wrap stand or checkout is not cleaned off and an additional piece of merchandise is accidentally put into a bag. The customer didn’t take it, but they also probably won’t bother to return it when they get home and discover the error.
This is where retail theft prevention comes into play. Anti-shoplifting tools like Checkpoint systems will help keep your customer’s honest. It will also help detect errors at the point of sale.
