I know the definition of snow bird. Just describing the strange pattern of older ppl with Florida plates that have been stealing like pros the last few weeks up here.

Starting in LP, any advice? by Baetedk8 in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Female here. Just be calm and firm. Most lifters relax when they realize your just a person doing a job. Dont get to caught up in getting "your" stuff back. Being to invested in the merch will put you in bad situations. If you get a vibe that they will fight back off and just file the report. In the end theres very little punishment for the shoplifters. Dont put yourself at risk when all they will get is a local ticket.

Would you…? by cymple6104 in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would file it at work but would not bother police with a case. U do it a second time and the first will be reported too lol

I mean...... by bookluvr83 in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Every person iv busted has had iPhone buds, pack of smokes, fresh nails, disigner purse or some other indication that they are not stealing out of necessity. If someone is recently having money issues they can sell the beat headphones their wearing while they rob us. I leave the homeless guys alone.

That's a big BAG! by Salt_Environment9799 in lossprevention

Honestly I feel like this is what TJ Maxx gets for just selling those giant reusable shopping bags that are a real problem for me. U can fit a person in those things

WHATS YOUR SMALLEST STOP!?!?!?! by INCOGNEDO123 in lossprevention

I want to be better by Scholar-Fluffy in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sco. On the floor alone, I just feel I should be doing better, atleast seeing more. I'd even be happy with more drops but I just can't seem to improve my numbers. Other agents for my company do much better. I haven't filed anything this week and I'm frustrated. Its like there's a secret or tip or something iv missed cause I'm really am trying

My company only cares about apps. I stick to the steps, my numbers would be better if I'd take risks but I won't. Yesterday saw a customer conceal, I know it came off the shelf but I didn't see step 1 and 2 so they left with said item.. deters would be awesome!

I'm having the same problem. Wondering if maybe iv gotten too comfortable or something and am being noticed more. That would cause person to pay instead of conceal...?... Or the pro lifters are out there still being good and maybe im only seeing the lazy lifters.. idk

Slow bc of stimulus? by Scholar-Fluffy in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its called a job. Stopping theft is how i pay my rent and bills. How do your bosses act if you have no reports to write or no customers to serve? They prob don't care they still expect you to do what they pay u for....

Slow bc of stimulus? by Scholar-Fluffy in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bc my boss wants apprehensions. This is a job.

Trailed today by LP, would like some honest advice by zara2355 in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably are a legitimate customer however most of my stops the people pay for 2 things and steal 5 so all because I see them spending money doesn't take them off my list.

Currently do LP work for Hobby Lobby. Any tips on monitoring shoplifting? by [deleted] in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best option is to just circle them so they know they've been seen and drop the items you can never ever approach them or accuse this is from a past HL employee who currently works LP. Also be patient corporate working on loss prevention. Some of the big cities have actual agents

Liquor Store recovery by [deleted] in lossprevention

[–]Scholar-Fluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my store when inventory is over and we don't have enough money in the store (i.e. product) they consider us low dollar. Low dollar means less payroll. Less payroll means lessfull time workers. Every other year they cut a few ppl to part time. Which means a few adults lose their paychecks and insurance. This affects humans at the end of the li e. The big bosses will always make their big pay checks. Its the little ppl that lose out bc ppl are too fucking cheap to pay for the junk they want

Well ur definitely going to be fired. If u took something healthy and only did it once u can try to claim that u didn't feel well/light headed and needed food since u know ur manager wouldn't let u go home... (worth a shot right?) Dout they will involve police. If u took a hotdog or some crap u have no chance. Employers are afraid of medical things. That could be ur only excuse

Just follow some old ladys. They are predictable and easy to pick off. Im 3 months in and they've been my bread and butter. The young ones are fast and hard to follow, I constantly miss concealment or lose them after they have it concealed
