When reported as a percentage of sales as is commonly done, average annual shrink increased to 1.57%, up from 1.44% in 2021. - colin Sep 26, 12:39 1
- a lot of words to say they're full of shit. almost 60% of shrink is damaged goods, not theft. -- nm - colin Sep 26, 12:40
I believe that was the first Target in Manhattan. There are now 13 Targets in Manhattan - ty97 Sep 26, 12:17 5
- Yup. It was shown that stealing isn't the issue with the losses. -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 13:25
- You have to have a membership to get into Costco. Theft is much smaller at Costco stores than Target. -- nm - MDH Sep 26, 12:21 3
  - It's also much harder to steal a giant package of bulk item. Of course Target and Walmart might do better if they didn't only have 1 register - sycor Sep 26, 12:32
  - I mean fair, but also that probably doesnt drop theft by that much. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 26, 12:30 1
    - If it's anything like Sam's they someone at the door checking your membership card on the way in and checking receipts on the way out. - sycor Sep 26, 12:34
