When I started every department had their own cash register and employees. There was ALWAYS at least one person on the floor and often more. Then they decided to compete with K-Mart and moved the cash registers for multiple department to a center aisle. Employees were no longer in the departments and shoplifting surged. We told them it would but who listens to employees. If retailers want to reduce shoplifting the solution is simple, have more employees throughout the store but they’d rather bitch about shoplifting than pay people.
