That's weird. Sounds just like the grocery store closing. No ones in business to lose money.
You would think all the cameras they have would stop some of that unless it was an ongoing insider deal.
Seems like you could hire enough loss prevention officers for a couple hundred K a year and not lose nearly that much overall and reduce crime while they are at it. I don't buy that excuse. It's not a sound business decision.

So basically they stole all the .22lr ammo.
Got a friend and that is his job. they are not to stop the people. they just go up to them as they are leaving and ask if they are going to pay for the stuff they are taking. if they push their way past, the employees just try to get a tag number and call the police.
A lot of employee theft also, all he watches is the cameras on the loading dock and you wouldn't believe how much tries to go out the back. That's why they fired everybody.
This. Loss prevention guys don't have reign in store... They are plain clothes unarmed guards. They're paid to observe and report.
I'm a store manager for a large retail chain. We have theft all of the time, and like others said we technically aren't allowed to do anything as far as detaining them. Most thieves or teams of thieves come in for 1-4 minutes max. Some will load up a cart and see where all the employees are and just head out. Others will walk over to an area they want to target and have another person distract the co worker for that dept while they load up on merchandise. The last guy we had arrested for stealing a shopping cart full of merchandise had a long list of arrest, so having another one added wasn't a big deal. We got his tag number and he got arrested 3 days later on a separate charge.
Eventually at the rate we are going everything will be locked up in the store.

Be very, very quiet...a new conspiracy so vast is afoot. Do not go to Walmart--ever! They are detention centers in disguise. Also, if you could pick one up and look under it, as you would a shoebox, say, you will find a couple of thousand Chi-Com troops hiding in the caverns below each Walmart store. Didn't know about the caverns, did ya? Nor, I suspect, about the "fire lanes" that are actually landing sites for the black helicopters. There's so much more to tell....
