Smart strategies: Things that make our lives hard.
You might wonder why I'd just tel you this, it's because there's no structural reason for me to protect retailer I don't work for. If they don't hire me, theft is their problem not mine. Morally? story for another day.
1. Duplicate Item theft.
This is when you buy something, and steal the same item at the same time. So you might scan only one of two items on the self check out, or carry out the same shirt in a different size. on CCTV it becomes hard to prove which item you were carrying, and at what time, and to separate you from other shoppers.
If you put two chocolate bars in your pocket, pay for one, I don't have shit on CCTV. you would just say it's footage of you picking up the item you paid for. even if you were eating the chocolate bar in front of me and produced the wrapper, I cant prove how many you've got stuffed in your chipmunk face.
2. shelving.
I can't sexually assault someone in the course of a search, so if you can shove a stolen item into your anus, it's yours. I'm just not paid enough, neither are cops. I cant remove someones underwear, even if I see a phone charger in your underwear I can't photograph that, or remove that. This is why the bathroom is the epicenter of petty theft.
3. FAST theft
Stealing volumetric products rather than consumer items. petrol, oil, individual slices of bread, single batteries, one CD from a set.
This is so stupid, but we don't barcode the bread itself, the mince meat itself. If you just pull a fistfull of mince meat from a pack and put it in a plastic bag I can't prove it was even our mince meat, or how many slices of bread the bag had in it to begin with. when you see this its like...jesus christ, fml, this nigger stealing individual slices of bread from 6 different bags.
4. change ups.
Yes, still works in 2025. registers are designed so clerks can't go backwards in the process to add extra items but if someone receives cash in their hand, as a rule you can change them up. It's a punk move because you're always on CCTV and can only claim you did it by mistake if you aren't on CCTV in 20 different places trying it. But thieves move around a lot, they will still do it especially if they aren't store thieves.
5. mobbing
When you get more thieves into a single store than the store has employees. 20 kids come in at once and just start throwing items between each other. people who exchange items in their carts with other shoppers.
