While we did not find the “lucky shopper” I blogged about a month ago, we have noticed a considerable reduction in suspicious behaviour in the stores where theft was of most concern.
In one store we were encountering at least two potential shoplifting situations each day. Now, we are seeing this once, maybe twice a week.
The lucky shopper approach is not the solution, but it is a useful tactic to employ from time to time.
It all comes down to risk. Is they suspect there is a reasonable risk, they will not try it on.
