I work at a Dollar General. The things I've seen people do to steal. I've seen a man try and stuff a 120 count BOX of diapers into his sweatpants. I was walking around straightening the store when I come to the baby section. There he was, trying desperately to put this box thats like 18 inches in height width and length down his pants. Looked him dead in the eye for about five seconds, and just kept walking. Thankfully after about another minute of him trying, he realized it wasnt going down his pants. I applaud that man for trying, but damn was that funny.

I worked at a retail store where the same exact scammers would come in on a weekly basis. Everyone knew exactly who they were. The managers would never let us refuse service. The professional thieves know that the bigger retail stores aren't going to do anything about them stealing. My husband says private security like a mall cop can't actually physically touch you if you don't want to comply, they must call the police if you don't agree to be detained. So they can pretty much just walk out even if they're caught stealing.

Zennethe you can use reasonable force to protect yourself, you however can not use force to detain someone. You don't have the legally authority to hold someone against their will. Even an officer would be in trouble if they shot a guy in the back just because they stole something. A jury of your peers will determine if whatever force you used was reasonable force. However, almost no court will consider it reasonable force to cause serious injury to someone over theft. Many states will even consider trying to restrain someone as assault and battery. Once someone tries to retreat it is typically considered unlawful to assault that person in any way. Police stop you when fleeing because you are resisting arrest, or disobeying a lawful order. Security does not have the authority to arrest someone or detain them against their will unless letting them go puts someone in danger.
@dragonkingf36 жыл бұрын
Well to be fair you don't usually shoot the gun if they do not have a fire arm as well (Although in my state you can so long as they at least have a knife, As we have a law stating you may use force once step above, I.E. if he is unarmed but attacking you, you may stab them or if they are coming at you with a knife or a bat you may shoot them) But the firearm can be used as a false threat if you are trained to do so. I.E. a security guard with firearms training. As for detain, in my state you can detain shoplifters against their will until they may be turned over to the proper authority. Though if you injure an unarmed person they can sue you over it as you are in fact not a cop.

I would think a safer way to have that sort of security measure would be to have a code that just opens the safe _and_ a code that alerts authority when you open the safe. Like if the code was 1234 to open it, you could press 123456 and the longer code would alert authorities of a robbery. Or just having a completely separate code for robberies, though I don't know if that would be more or less risky for employees to accidentally confuse with the real code.

As someone that worked many years for security companies well I was going to college I can tell you that typically cameras do you have listening equipment but it’s strictly for playback. We are not paying some guy to just sit there and watch cameras feeds all day. The cameras are strictly only looked at for playback when something goes down. So for instance if one of the Game Stop’s got robbed typically a police department which now that I graduated college I work in law-enforcement is going to want a back up of what happened before they report/court purposes. Typically the police department would contact Game Stop or if it was a bigger store like let’s say at Walmart they would speak directly to the loss prevention officer on duty and get a back up of the files from him or her. So there’s no company I’ve ever heard of that just has some person sitting around listening to what you’re saying at the store. But obviously audio also helps for court purposes and documentation.

A store in my district got robbed with an uzi. Yes. AN UZI. after that they put up surveillance cameras around the store and even had a warning sign on the door (with Buck the Bunny dressed as an FBI agent, sunglasses and all) informing customers. And an announcement was made every fifteen minutes saying "you are being monitored for your own protection". Seemed to work.

while hunting i pulled the bolt back on my 30-06 rifle and no rounds came out. i did it twice like always just to be safe and a round never came out again. so i peek down the barrel and i notice a LIVE round in my rifle. always look down the chamber to ensure theres no rounds in it. some people are not as safe as me.

My local Gamestop has been flat out Robbed and Burglarized multiple times in the last two years. On the night of March 2nd of last year, I arrived at my gamestop to wait in line for my Switch and the bloody glass wall was gone. Someone had broken in through the window the night before and robbed the place. they stole all the consoles that were out ( mostly just old XBox360's according to the Manager) and whatever games were out ( mostly crappy racing games that goodwill sells for 2 bucks.) They had tried to get into the back room where all the Switch's had just been delivered, but they didn't bring sophisticated enough equipment to get past the security door and only managed to dent it. This happened 3 more times since then. Someone smashes the bottom or top window, crawls through, grabs whatever's out, then tries to leave. I heard they caught him the last time he tried.

As a kid they kept these little blue trays behind the counter with all the games in alphabetical order. We would have 3 people, 2 ask to see things behind the counter, or in the glass case, then the 3rd person would just reach back and grab a tray or 2 and walk out with a ton of games. My friend got caught selling them back to another gamestop in the area, because he didnt shuffle the stack he was trying to sell. everything was still in order, The guy didn't take the games or anything, just wouldn't let him return them,

Interesting story about Wal-Mart: My friend and I had just left Wal-Mart since we were shopping for snacks, and as we were leaving, some guy approached me and tried to get me to return some items for him to the store. I had to tell him no like three times before he gave up pestering me. A few minutes later, my friend told me that a lot of people try to return stolen items back to Wal-Mart in an attempt to get other people arrested for shoplifting. A real scummy thing for someone to do, and I'm glad I wasn't dumb enough to believe that guy

mike smith I buy new-pre owned story games at Gamestop(that I'll beat in less than a week) and then bring it back with my receipt and get full refund. Done it with quite a few games actually. I also would rent movies on my card through Red Box(whenever I had like $15 left to my name in college) and take them to Gamestop(you guys actually buy them lol) and get like $80 for 5games rented, then I'd cancel my walmart card when I was done. Did it to survive my first semester of college where I was struggling to eat etc. Felt bad, and had to pay for the price of the games a few yra later through Red Box ..so it was just like a high interest loan.

My method was similar to yours for quick change artists, but what I did was each time they asked for change. I'd do it and then shut my register.. then reopen it for the next one. We had to type a code to get into the register so everytime they tried to change it up id finish it and then start fresh. They got annoyed fast and gave up

I can tell you for a fact that these stores rarely ever check their security footage unlike Target. I will admit to sticker swapping on discounted items to get a better deal on a Nerf blaster or Blu-ray. At the hardware store I work at currently, they have nine cameras and three are dummies. Yet I find empty boxes for product in the restroom on a weekly basis.

(Hey Fanta, I don't have Twitter but you can share this story if you'd like!) The most notable retail theft story I have: I work at a chain that sells discount/off-brand clothing and house goods. One time some people stuffed two large travel suitcases (which we sell) with nearly $1k total worth of shoes and clothing, and then dashed out the front door with them. An associate chased after them into the parking lot and managed to get one of the suitcases back (I guess it was dropped and the thief was trying to retrieve it at the same time my coworker appeared), but she was nearly maced in the process. 😨 I don't know if the thieves were never caught or if they spread their tactics to some friends, because I've witnessed a stuff-and-run at least THREE more times in the same year. One attempt was thwarted thanks to calling security (which we did not have that day and almost never have anyway) to the front of the store over the PA system, while another happened literally SECONDS after I had unknowingly walked past one of the bastards!!

Dude, Fanta, you got to try Advance Auto Parts in a rural community if you want an interestingly depressing experience. Amazon in Jeffersonville Indiana was not the greatest because you'll discover frustrating glitches in the system that affect you. Advance Auto Parts was so mismanaged by their Corporate office, I asked my stores General Manager about what would happen if someone worked their way up the corporate ladder to sabotage the company. My General Manager said that no one would have to sabotage the company at the corporate level because the corporate office management already does this. One of these days we'll have to collaborate about retail employment experience. I'm definitely a veteran of Retail.

An old friend of mine told me the story of how his older brother robbed our local Blockbuster. It was at gunpoint and he took the employees in the back room and blindfolded them and locked them back there but made sure to get the security footage. He jumped into the back of the till and stole ALL the games. I think he said that he took off the stickers and sharpie with rubbing alcohol. And because he covered all his tracks he didn't get caught until much later when word of mouth got around. In the end, bragging about his flawless robbery was what had got him caught. Some thieves get a big ego when they tell their stories, which if they didn't....they would get away with it more often I think. I had a guitar stolen from my house in high school....it was just a matter of time (couple months) before the friends he bragged to came to me and ratted him out.

Actually game cases have certain value, some stores have the business model of game interchange, they will change your game for one of theirs for a small fee, but if you want a game in a case you have to bring one in a case or pay an extra fee, so under certain circunstances and if you make it too easy, some people may take the chance of stealing a case, but I don't think that they would do it if they know that there are cameras.

I work at a car dealership and one of the finance managers (the guys who handle your paperwork when you buy a car) was just pocketing the down payments from people if they paid in cash. Then would pay it back later with other cash deposits. He got away with it for a good 6 months before they found something fishy that paperwork wasn't being processed right. The company said it was about 14 Grand but he told me it was about double that

True Story: I don't remember if it was in Gamestop's early days or if it was EB games but I took a bunch of games in for trade. We made the deal for trade-in and I bought some stuff from the store. We drove two hours back home and to my horror, I discovered that the games I had traded in were just empty boxes and the actual games were in a cd holder. My wife had not put the games into the game boxes (my fault also for not checking.) I immediately called the store which was in Huntington WV and explained to the clerk what had happened. He was really nice about the whole thing and said I could bring the games back the next weekend. We did nothing but load back up, drove another two hours that very day, and gave the store their games. I was terrified, and I don't know how some people can live with themselves when they intentionally rip someone off or steal. I don't know why the clerk never checked the boxes but it doesn't matter, that was all on me.
