If you went over to the components drawers they’d bolt though, they didn’t know how to answer any questions about that stuff and also knew you were too cheap to buy a cellphone (I’m talking the last 10 years of the store or so, when they tried to be sprint stores or Verizon or whatever).
Maybe if there were like 2 employees in the store, people would feel less comfortable stealing shit.
The Joann fabric near us has these speakers that will say something like “ask an associate if you need anything” when you walk near them. They put them near the expensive shit.
Clearly, it’s an attempt to alert staff when someone is walking near the expensive stuff, but like…the store has 2 employees and when they’re not checking people out, they’re trying desperately to keep up with the boxes of unloaded freight clogging up the aisles.
Yeah, they’ve been steadily reducing the number of staff in the stores to save money. I’d say look, you have that savings, just accept some shrinkage. Or you can hire more staff, your choice.
Only if it’s in fun and/or interesting ways, though, not waiting for some underpaid and overworked employee getting a key for the toilet paper safe or whatever.
Yeah turns out people don’t like:
Walgreens’ inventory shrinkage is not my problem. Locking everything up rather than paying loss prevention staff is just going to piss everyone off.
I’ve been followed around a store. Guess what store I’ve never bought from and won’t be back to.
Well you didn’t tell us which store so we don’t know
They told you to guess!
Radio Shack?
Everyone who ever entered a Radio Shack was followed around the store.
And enough people didn’t come back that they went out of business.
Man, I miss radio shack when they actually had electronic components.
They sold out their base
Yeah, they were great for that. Ever since they closed, I don’t really have a local source for that kind of thing anymore.

Then I’m not wrong.
i’m starting to worry we’ll never find out which store it is. the suspense is killing me
Not if you don’t guess
Circuit City
Hot Topic?
Buttplugs R Us?
Red Door?
Jimboys Tacos
Toys R Us?

Nobody is watching you steal stuff.

Personally I LOVE having my time wasted!

See, that right there is capitalist talk.
Time enjoyed is not time wasted unless you’re Ebenezer Scrooge.
Hmm, good point. I sit corrected 😁
I expect you like wasting time, not having your time wasted.
That’s the difference between sitting around doing nothing and being forced to do nothing while you wait for something.
