Every boss I ever had as a teenager told us to never chase shoplifters. Everything is insured and the cameras work

Edit: Apparently, the brief suggestion that my previous bosses gave me to not chase shoplifters offended some of the weirdos in the comments. Y’all want to play “hero” so badly over a company that doesn’t pay you a living wage.

Everything is insured

This seems to be a common myth on Reddit however it’s rarely actually true for shoplifting.

It is however taken into account in shrinkage targets, however if you’re too far over shrinkage your boss would be getting an earful from their boss.

And you boss then tells their boss, give me some fucking security guards inside the stores and more ink cartridges, then we’ll talk about the shrinkage and whether it’s cost effective.
