Comment on Shoplifting up driven by rising cost of living - Coles responding with employee body cams
0110010001100010@lemmy.world 9 months agoLet’s see here, I’m 37 so 20ish years ago I worked for OfficeMax. We were literally trained that if someone was shoplifting to try and note any relevant details then call the cops. Even if that wasn’t told to us none of us were paid enough to do anything about it. Our one older manager tried to stop a shoplifter once and got knocked unconscious for his efforts.

A friend managed an urban outfitters in a busy area of a huge city about a decade ago. He told of organized hits, where like 7 people would come in and just clear out an entire section into trash bags and walk off in under 60 seconds. His hands were tied and also was probably being paid like 30k so he didn’t give much of a fuck either.
