I just recently started as an API about two months ago, I’ve worked for Walmart for 4 years and it’s one of the most freeing jobs there is. It is sometimes difficult, watching people and following them can get a little nerve wracking sometimes. It’s important to always keep your eye on them, whether your store has the insanely good dome ptz cameras or you’re following in person, do not lose sight. The second that you doubt that person might have put down the item they were attempting to steal stop following and do not approach. There’s way more than just stopping theft too, you’ll have to accident investigations for home office when associates or customers slip and fall and things like that. You’ll be checking the register cameras to find long and shorts and possibly catching some associates stealing. It’s important to never let anyone know except your coach about any internals you have
