One way to deter shoplifting

Check out this sign seen in a retail business recently. It is sure to draw some attention a more traditional and law-enforcement type sign may attract. We need to keep changing how we tell customers they are at risk of being caught because people see laziness in the usual and that tells them theft could be easier. Winona may be noticed enough to work.

    I had a bit of a giggle about this then I realised what a prick I had been.

    Ryder committed the crime 16 years ago when she was clinically depressed, taking large amounts of prescription drugs and was suicidal.

    She was caught, convicted and penalised.

    She has paid her penalty.

    There is nothing funny about mocking suicidal people.

    Shop stealing is a cost of doing business. There is plenty of preventative actions you can take to reduce this cost including fake cameras, signage or simply walking up to a customer and saying “can i help you!”
