The other day, the store director and assistant store were paged to the front. It turned out that someone was trying to steal a cart full of items which involved 12 pack sodas, 4 pack red bulls, 12 pack red bulls, and Gatorade that was sold in an 8 pack. The front end manager rang up the items with the Loss Prevention Employee standing there to see how much money would've been lost. I ended up putting away the items after they were rung up.

Sounds like the Meat Lady who was caught in the supermarket trying to run out the door with a trolleyload of, yep, you guessed it, meat. Her excuse? "My kids are starving!" Kinda hard to feel sorry for her when she was dressed in designer clothes and was trying to steal fillet steak.
Wonder what the energy drink thief was planning? O_o The mind boggles.

Quoth Sapphire Silk View PostDid she have a getaway van out front? How was she expecting to load all the meat while being chased by LP? Did she think they wouldn't chase her when she passed the threshold?
Some people . . . .
Reminds me of a family around here that became well known for having something like 10 kids and were on various govnt aid programs. The woman was caught going around town at Thanksgiving time getting a free turkey from each and every food pantry she could find. When caught she had no fewer than 17 turkeys in the car.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View PostSounds like a reseller to me.
Put the baby formula behind the kiosk behind locked plexiglass doors and now customers HAVE to ask for it at the counter.
Currently we now have single packs of Kool Aid behind the counter now. We were missing around $1000 worth of that stuff on our last inventory so now customers have to ask for it at the cash register now.
If the thievery keeps on, we may have to move the air fresheners to behind the counter as well. We've already taken out single cans of Red Bull off the shelf (missing over 200 of the 8.3 oz singles and almost 100 of the 12 oz size) so now we just have 4 pks and 12 pks.
Yes, we are also losing our asses on those damned air freshener refills (scented oil ones in particular.) We only have one of each on the shelf now and every day we're finding empty packages.
But we're not allowed to even approach anyone we see ripping us off. Our company policy forbids us to even speak to them about it, let alone chase them down. Only ones now I see getting caught are on the shifts where a contracted LP guy comes by and hang out for a few hours but his days/shifts vary each week. When he's not there, it's pretty much open season.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)
