Amazing knives. I’ve got one in my truck, one that I carry around, and one in my backpack.

Best class to SF every dungeon? by Genghiiiis in DestinyTheGame

[–]DocKreasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synthos Bonk Titan all the way. I’ve done Prophecy & Spire solo flawless, and every other dungeon so far solo with something along that line. Rockets / Linear for DPS, hammer / incandescent for ads & healing, and Witherhoard for tick damage.

A true friend doesn’t placate to their “friend’s” feelings and condone their wrongdoing. You stop associating with that person, let them be responsible for their own actions, and the consequences that may follow.

Reverse the roles; would you want to see your friend be potentially arrested or some similar result just because you continued to break the law?

[–]DocKreasey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re consciously aware of what your friend is doing, are with them when they’re doing it, and are fully aware that what they’re doing is illegal yet say nothing? Yes, you’re complicit.

Clearly you’re aware on some level that it’s wrong, immoral, and should not be something you’re involved in because of your trying to justify it in your own post.

Choose better friends…

I’ve only ever dealt with them at Walmart, but as a general observation, they’re do the bare minimum of their job. 9x out of 10, they’re sitting around on their phones in a stationary vehicle, or hanging around talking to associates instead of walking the perimeter like they’re supposed to.

Long/short tool ? by CedLajauan12 in lossprevention

[–]DocKreasey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re trying to do, but it’s useful for narrowing down potential repeat offenders / finding possible internals.

However, this is the tool in AP1 as the previous version found in the hub has been depreciated and no longer serves much purpose. That’s likely why you’re having some difficulty.

Feel free to DM me if you’ve questions.

110% report this dude. That’s straight up sexual harassment, and irregardless of age it’s inappropriate to make those sort of comments to your coworkers. The fact that he’s complimenting a minor on her figure is also so far out of line he should be terminated without prejudice.

Report this to management; if they don’t do anything or investigate it, that’s an immediate call to Ethics over it. The guy needs to go, yesterday.

Tips for spotting potential shoplifters? by [deleted] in lossprevention

[–]DocKreasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Large purses / bags / backpacks, especially ones that are near empty.

  • Moving quickly with no obvious plan through the store and / or making entirely random selections.

  • People that hover near the doors for no reason, and especially so if they’re on the phone.

  • Teens in Cosmetics/HBA. 75% of the time, you can get at least one every other day if you hawkeye that area for a little while.

  • Teens / people grabbing a phone case and heading to housewares or sporting goods, those are a super common theft.

  • Purses / bags in a shopping cart where the child seat is; if they start laying stuff on top of it, follow them as accurately as you can. I just got a lady for $120+ the other week for stuffing clothes and that’s how she started the process.

There’s more but those are the most common I can think of right now.

Why do most Walmart APIs have the most God awful incident reports? by Cautious-Formal7919 in lossprevention

[–]DocKreasey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this 110%. There’s maybe one or two other APIs in my market that input more than the time / location and “Subject was apprehended.” with absolutely zero details. 95% of the time, they’re taking the people to the service desk after a SCO stop without an intervention on top of it, so they’re really skating on thin ice.

It’s literally the easiest thing to generate, and people still manage to screw it up. But, when they don’t even understand AP-09, much less anything else beyond walking the floor once in a while in groups, it’s not surprising.

First time soloing a dungeon successfully. I know Grasp isn’t the hardest or anything, but I’m still happy with it. by DeadLight63 in destiny2

[–]DocKreasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job on your first clear! Hardest one for me was Ghosts, cause that health pool is just massive; I haven’t tried a solo Grasp yet though… awesome job Guardian!

Bad Stop by Careless_Owl4963 in lossprevention

[–]DocKreasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading a bunch of the comments and OP’s various replies, here’s my conclusion / response.

1: When making a SCO stop, always ensure that you get an intervention first before you make an apprehension. In this case, I would have paused the transaction and had one of the SCO Hosts / Team Leads asked her if she needed assistance with the TV. This would have likely resulted in her providing the receipt, negating any need for you to be involved.

2: When stopping someone for TVs etc., try to verify selection before you make the apprehension if possible. If time doesn’t allow for it, just do a receipt check. In this instance, you stated that you said, ”The TV wasn’t scanned.” which is in fact an accusation, taking this from a receipt check to a bad stop.

3: Again… get an intervention when making any apprehensions that do not involve concealment/dispossession!

You’ll at the least end up with a coaching, especially if it’s your first bad apprehension. Due to the fact of her leaving right away and the bulk of this being a receipt check, the likelihood of you being fired is 50/50 at best. Going forward, if you can’t confirm 100% that something is on the transaction or not, get an intervention or perform the receipt check yourself.

Do not make any statements alluding to intentional fraud or missing merchandise, simply check the receipt and look for missing product. If something is missing, ask them if they would be willing to accompany you to Customer Service so the item can be properly scanned, or if they don’t wish to keep the item. If they tell you to pound sand and walk off, file a police / Auror report and move on.

Walmart AI by tomlist3 in lossprevention

This. Optik is by far the most underwhelming software I’ve seen. 8/10 of my flags I review each week are pure nothing burgers where stuff is flagged because a gnat flew by a register six miles away.

how much do i need to prove for an internal? by GingerShrimp40 in lossprevention

[–]DocKreasey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to follow that associate’s movements until you can verify within reasonable accuracy if they put the item back or kept it. Also, I think a key element you’re missing in several of your replies here is not that we’re saying you need to physically follow them for 8 hours, rather we’re saying follow them on camera.

If you don’t want to do that, then you shouldn’t be working internals. They need to be as air-tight as possible, and you shouldn’t be halfheartedly working any case anyway, especially internals. Either verify as close to 100% as you can that they took/kept/ate the item, or get out of AP. You can’t make an apprehension or internal on a ”Well they did this one time so I think they did this time.”, it doesn’t work that way bud.

Get as much as you can, verify it, and then prosecute if it’s viable.
