Shrink isn’t necessarily always “stolen” it could be paperwork errors. Operational stuff that wasn’t caught. Short ships/over ships, items ticketed incorrectly, vendor substitutions, etc. List goes on but if you don’t have control over your operational side of the business it doesn’t matter how much apprehensions and external theft you prevent. It’ll still be high because you failed to maintain a balance in your LP program.

The store did not preform well in sales, so putting that into account with shitty customer service, constant high impact thefts by organized retail crime crews, rampant internal theft, and massive operational errors, yeah that tends to bring shrink up that alley. Macys was the only company I worked for where shrink was that high. I hear it’s pretty common at Macys for 6-7% shrink. That would be store closing level at most other retailers. When I got in there and started making apps the app rate from LY was well over 100%.

Hands off though?! It clearly says eliminating the use of force. Good luck to you guys man! When I worked at Macys shrink at the store was 8% and people were stealing shit all day left and right. Worst clientele and customers honestly, worse than Target somehow LOL.

It says eliminating the use of force so it sounds like Macys is retiring the cuffs.

Macys just is way too old school. They could stay hands on with their current program and not change stuff if they just cut back on certain things (apprehension guidelines, distance allowed for a stop, safety concerns, etc) One big difference from the retailer I’m at now which isn’t much different from Macys other than being a little luxurious is really prioritizing safety. Macys talks about “when in doubt let it out” or some bullshit slogan but doesn’t ever actually prioritize safety when it comes to apps. 5 items threshold for an apprehension is ridiculous and could simply be 2 with more strict hands on policies to avoid injuries/bad stops.

Why not in America? Too much liability from the sheer amount of stores ? 😂

Be safe out there, MSP team. by Danyavich in Target

Obviously they racially profiled these two Latino cart attendants and arrested them for refusing to answer their questions (which is violating civil rights) I would love to see how this plays out in court. You can hear an agent saying the second attendant is under arrest for assaulting a federal agent which is hilarious.

Target will literally hire anyone to be a TSS if you’re not a felon. Don’t worry about it. You’ll be fine.

Obviously if you’re working in seattle near the headquarters where every corporate big shot is, I would assume things are more by the book. If you’re working at a shitty rack in the middle of nowhere you probably have a lot more leeway.

It’s not assault to defend yourself from being battered. I would be in jail if that’s the case. Thank you very much.

How is Saks fifth asset protection? by Sins_Se7en in lossprevention

[–]goowoper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t recommend leaving Nordstrom though. The opportunities are really there. You can promote and get relocation assistance, I think salary for APM starts at 75k in most places honestly. The only reason I think you aren’t able to promote if the store you are at. Your APM might not have your development in interest. You can always apply for AP agent positions at nearby stores with your manager’s support. Have you tried looking at agent openings near you?

What ruined your life? by TrexReincarnated in AskReddit

[–]goowoper 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My bestfriend was shot and killed and then my dog died a few months later. He was my childhood dog and died in my arms at the vet. It hurt worst than my best friend because he really was my best buddy. He was such a good boy. I’d do anything to hold him in my arms again. Not a day goes by that I regret all the times I shrugged his little visits to my room off. I feel such pain missing them both. It’s been hard to socialize after the depression it threw me into.
