  You shouldnt ever try to protect the cash register at your place of work. They give 0 fucks about you and will have a job posting up before your body is cold.

    I remember working in a store and a guy walked through the scanner at the door and it went off, the other employee looked at me and was like “that guy stole something, hey?” And I was just like “yep” and we went back to whatever we were doing lol

      This is the way. Ive seen the “security” do the same shit, they don’t get paid enough to throw down over a can of doritos either lol

      the scanner at the door and it went off

      Every time in my life I’ve ever seen a door scanner go off, it’s been a false positive.

      I’m not saying that they can’t give good results too, just saying that I’m surprised that store’s employees didn’t just unplug them after the third time it happened.

    Can confirm, if they give any appearance of being human, even for years on end, it’s a lie, they are complete psychopaths and will throw you into the fire not even to save themselves, just to feel slightly less insecure.

    Retail jobs will tell you this too as they want as little liability as possible.

    Plus the registers only usually have a couple hundred bucks max at one time.

  Having no actual person guarding your business is a recipe for theft.

  From 1977 to 2021, in 2021 inflation-adjusted dollars, state and local government spending on police increased from $47 billion to $135 billion, an increase of 189 percent.

  Privatize the profits, socialize the costs

  The recommended course of action in a robbery is to follow instructions and hand over anything they ask for. If they grab product and walk out of the store, don’t try to stop them. This is actually less of an insurance liability than having an actual person there.

    Yes but in general people are less likely to steal if there is a person standing in front of them watching. I’m not even talking about robbery just people stealing a candy bar or whatever. If it’s just sitting out with no one around people will take it.

    Stealing and robbery are different

      I’m sure there’s a technical difference but I really don’t care about it.

  A 17 year old kid paid minimum wage who gives zero fucks about the company isn’t a huge deterrent either. As long as you don’t put them in risk steal from corpos all the time
