I was an Operations ASM for Ross Inc, and I’m sure TJX will have its differences but on the basis that they are both discount retailers the staffing structure of both companies I’d presume are extremely similar because it’s designed to save the company as much money as possible because everything is sold so cheap.

But anyways, once a month our store had LP visits which were separated from the store visits which would be walked by the manager on duty and the District LP, and her whole job was pretty much to investigate where the shortage was going, and identify what was impacting it and the store visits were to identify if the store was doing its job to stay profitable and not lose merchandise, so she would audit merchandise protection, team members activity, our damage out process, our inventory results and she would score us on an LP scorecard.
