Why we're screwed: at the exact moment the manager was filling out an "action plan" on ways to reduce shrink in certain areas...

He's now including "less ridiculous paperwork" on the action plan.

Companies these days fail to see the forest for the trees. Loss prevention exists entirely to go after the employees and not the scum of the earth customers who steal. It's so ass backwards.

- It's backward when working on the plan to prevent employee shrink allows customer shrink to go on. -- nm - the liioulu with silver chains Jul 16, 16:02
