    Ex-retail worker here that spent a lot of time in aisles, counting inventory, etc.

    Steal whatever you want; I don’t care. Not my job to look after that shit and I wasn’t paid enough for it anyway.

      Former retail worker here.

      I was never paid enough to care about shit other than directly keeping my job. So, you know, look busy when the boss was around.

      I had to stop people from stealing big shit, like TVs and such.

      A hungry looking kid grabbing some food to eat in an aisle and leave the trash? Just throw the trash away please, I’m not your fucking maid.

        Former bigbox manager here. The garden section is throwaway, no one gives a shit about plants. Come to me when garden tools and lawnmowers are missing.

        Bad inventory practices are the leading causes of shrink. Any actual theft is securities problem.
