[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in retail and the reality is it simply isn't worth confronting people who commit minor theft. You can then leave it to the loss prevention guys. We don't want patrons going vigilante either as it just makes everything less safe. Grocery stores especially, do you know how much prepped food gets tossed out every day? I am not defending stealing in any way, it's gross. Just explaining why the store and the workers aren't going to other with something like that. The financial cost of low level "shrinkage" isn't worth the risk and costs built in of confrontation.[/quote] Prepared foods have a markup to offset the loss from unsold items. Markups can be as high as 300%. Remember, the typical store is making a profit of around 1.6%. They can't afford losses on high markup items. [/quote]
