Some time ago I wrote about this situation, which offered an unparalleled opportunity for shoplifters.
Apparently we have managed to get permission from the makers of the pillows to alter the setup somewhat, so nobody is invisible anymore in that aisle.
But of course that doesn't stop the problem.
A coworker walked up to the Customer Service desk today clutching a handful of cardboard and plastic. She'd discovered it jammed at the back of a shelf, after trying to straighten out the items on said shelf and wondering why they didn't seem to want to "settle."
So what expensive item were the thieves stealing this time?
Light bulbs.
Okay, fancy-looking lightbulbs but still ...
This is just part of the ongoing joke in this store in terms of the total lack of security -- we have no security guards, no electronic security, and we do not offend patrons by asking to check their bags or backpacks on the way out ... or even asking them to leave said items at the front counter, which a competitor DOES.
Mind you, of course, they DO check any such items when it's staff leaving for the day ...
