I've worked in retail for two years, and I can tell you that I get bitched at every time something gets stolen. It's not fair, because a lot of the time it's not something I could have prevented. So, basically.. you're hurting a lot of people when you steal, you're making the price of merchandise go up, you're creating a lot of headache for the person who didn't catch you doing it. It just irks me. Of course, I've sold expensive gifts and shoes, so it's a bit more of a problem when people steal from me.

I'm the duty manager of a well known retail store in England - and I swear, the amount of stuff that gets pinched by little bastards too tight to fork out a couple of quid for something is a hell of a headache for me. It does put prices up, it ruins having 'live' displays and it's additional worry. There is nothing worse in retail than working for a store you love and seeing empty packages with the content stolen out of it stuffed down the back of some shelf. If I catch people stealing from my store, I make sure they get reported and banned. If we can't prove anything's been stolen I follow them around like a goddamn limpet and they get the picture. Pricks. Sorry, but I detest thieves. You're not just stealing from a faceless store - you're stealing the wages of employees, new stock, improved stock, building repair and maintenance - it all adds up. I have never stolen anything in my life and I never would. It's called self-control as well as respect. I get my cheap thrills elsewhere. |
