It
never stuck me; just how much loss there is to a business when it comes to
theft. I mean yeah, I figured it was a part of it and everything, but you’re
never realize just how much until you actually are being affected by it.
Being the one who works in a retail store, I am constantly finding product coming up missing, or numbers are not what there supposed to be for balance on hand.

It’s
almost to me like a losing battle; the more we try to prevent it, the more they
out do us and find a way to steal. Some thefts are cleaver, some are not, some
get caught, a lot don’t. That’s just it, people think once they do it, that
they are invisible and can’t be caught. Well to an extent they get away with
it, but eventually it will catch up to them in some sort of way.
Its funny
cause working in retail you almost can tell who comes in just to steal and
predict the time they will too. I’ve always been fascinated by the courage
these people have when it comes to stealing product. They could care less what
time it is, what they are stealing and how it affects others.
My fascinations
has somewhat over the years been turned into a job for me and I actually enjoy
finding the people who are trying to steal, only problem is, that it’s not my
job to. I hope one day to advance in my level with the company and be one of
our Loss Prevention Specialist. Those ways I can help keep those prices down.
