Awkward. Literally my job is as a manager that involves stopping people from stealing stuff
I mean, it's a different story if you're held personally responsible for shrink. You have to feed yourself too. Tough situation.
Yeah I'd lose my job if I just started letting people leave with stuff, even if it's tough like diapers.
Yes.. Capitalism takes a toll on all of us. I understand also your position. But from my position, I would rather not tell you if I saw people shoplifting... Which I also think you understand.
So if you bust me, at least we can get on with the capitalist program we are both stuck in with a tad more understanding and kindness towards each other.
Well if you do see someone shoplifting, yeah it's not your responsibility or expectation to tell someone! Unless it's a mom & pop, they can afford some shrink just fine, and that is a much bigger deal to someone risking so much for such seemingly little things.
Do you have any decision power in the process of dealing with a shoplifter? If you know the rules of your company regarding this you might be able to let some people of the hook or sometimes "miss" someone stealing.
Not really, everything is tracked and heavy traffic, We catch quite a bit every day.
