Oh look, another retailer caught lying about theft

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Different manager at each store, and different approach to contacting law enforcement.

Terrible response to the question that was asked. You were immediately given a common sense answer and instead of admitting "yeah y'all are right", now you further compound the foolishness by trying to imply that only the managers at the stores in black areas have the attitude of NOT calling the police.

Pure stupidity and lowkey racism at its finest.

That Target is literally in the Plaza with Costco, Aldi, Marshalls, and Burlington and none of them are closing nor announcing how theft is such a major issue. Yet Target is still planning on opening in Union Square and already have a location on 14th where all the bums who boost are at.

interesting.

things may have changed and maybe you're correct, but when I worked retail, I specifically remember asking why we file police reports for someone stealing shyt if we have insurance on it and I was told we specifically reported it to the police for the insurance claims. so I find it interesting that stores wouldn't report it for the insurance money.

I could see the argument that some employees are just not reporting the shoplifting they see, some of it is going undetected until they do inventory, but I still am not completely buying the disparities. it's odd that the executives, who may have made bad decisions on where to put stores, do not need to provide proof for these things.

They may not report every single theft because police won’t do anything about it. That was a the case a few years ago in san francisco

There is a deliberate effort to stoke the crime issue beyond its true reality, stats show crime has ticked down in cities and towns in comparison to the 80s and 90s, this companies are greedy and all about the bottom line, they rather fire 10000 thousand workers than take less revenue

yeah the fact is there is just so much more video out there now compared to the 80s/90s, so we are far more aware of it and it makes it seems a lot worse than it is, then there are people who play into the narrative for political gain or to cover their ass for possible bad decisions in the case of executives.

How many of those crimes were unreported? Shoplifters are bad news, and current laws in certain metro areas don't serve as a deterrent.
The in-store measures they have to take, like LOCKING shyt up hurts sales because legit shoppers are discouraged from making purchases.

That social media guy and others are juelzing. They supported certain criminal justice reforms, and hearing about the economic impact of those reforms makes them feel awkward. That's where the juelzing comes from.

This is crazy juelzing

Most the theft isn’t reported/documented as actual theft

I used to be a manager at Best Buy and my main role was basically stopping theft (shrink)

And no cops or official reports were ever made besides the rare time when people would be fighting or cause an actual scene that would like threaten someone

We would just count the shyt..and report the variance within Best Buy’s systems…and get yelled at for missing 2 iPhones for no reason

3% is the yearly national average for retail loss due to theft. It's been well established that the vast majority of theft is actually from employees. Anytime you call the police, there is a record of it. Most cities and town have a blotter online data publicly cataloging every report. I've always been suspect of this narrative as I've never seen any retailers post actually shrinkage numbers to corroborate the narrative.

local municipalities should force public companies to report shrinkage data periodically because those b*stard executives are maligning communities with an undeserved negative narrative.

interesting.

i actually worked at Target in college (13 years ago though so acknowledge things may have changed) and the reason we reported was for insurance claims, I wonder why Best Buy is different.

Anything to excuse poor behavior

Usually there isn’t different approaches at a chain this large it would be a universal policy at each outfit
