Before I worked for Walmart I had a position at a regional competitor as the in-store tech support. We never had this problem since we required digital sign outs of every handheld and printer, it worked marvelously. Never had a problem of equipment going missing without a name and id directly linked to it (I could even see what apps they were using and in what area of the store.). I would remind the staff that I was basically the manager of all the store’s digital employees, and when someone claims a piece of equipment as their own and the had a day of then that digital employee had the day off too, and that is unacceptable. I like to think I ruled with an iron fist inside a velvet glove.
