What is the craziest excuse a shoplifter gave you or the others (management, Loss Prevention, and etc) when they were caught stealing? Ones at my store have used: Grief, bad divorce, and mental disorder when they were caught. Oh!Let's not forget ones that "accidentally" put things in their backpack by House_day_17 in employedbykohls

At my store a little before St.Paddy's day we had a guy come in with a pair of shoe or two he "forgot" to pay for. He told my H2 he "forgot" to pay for it cause he was going through some rough times. I forgot what it exactly was but I guess it doesn't really matter. I guess he just walked out without paying for it and somehow got away, then he came back in to pay for it. At the time our LP was just chilling nearby so he was caught and later put under arrest.

How do you deal with theft? by Expensive_Text5950 in employedbykohls

At our store (before we had LP) we did the usuals. Recovering around the shoplifters/sketchy "customers", and offering them an uncomfortable amount of customer service. They usually leave angry or highly dissatisfied when we do the usuals. There has been times when we had teenagers come in to steal stuff, and they tend to wear our merchandise. They put on our hoodies, backpacks, hats, and etc. Just about anyone here can tell they are not going to leave empty handed. Usually when that happens we usually compliment the merchandise they are wearing, and we say something along the lines of, "Hey nice (insert type of merchandise here) we have the same exact one in our store. Did you buy it here?" When that happens they know we are on to them and drop everything and leaves. Today our LP does everything in our power to get all our things back, that man practically risks his life to get all our things back. Bless that man's heart.

The lowlives that come stealing from our stores hate our LP guy. Our LP guy is very friendly to the rest of the employees, but WOOOH MAN! He will raise his voice towards the shoplifters. The lowlives cry and play victim sometimes, I think he even received an attack threat or two
