In many stores – Yes.  In most stores – No.

Employee theft is a highly unstable phenomenon in retailing.  We’ve been in smaller stores where 90% of the employees were caught stealing, and we’ve been in other stores where it was unlikely that anyone was stealing because of the high employee morale and the excellent internal controls and security measures in place.

The magnitude of employee theft is largely a reflection of the internal conditions within an organization and can vary widely by type of company, by store within a company, or even by month within a store.  For this reason, any assessment regarding the magnitude of the problem can only be valid for a given retailer at a given time and should not be considered representative of the nation’s retailers as a whole or as an “industry average.”

Employee theft can be responsible for 80% of store’s shrinkage, or as little as 10%, but it falls most often in the 20% – 40% range.  Shoplifting, on the other hand, is relatively stable and typically ranges from less than 0.6%-1.5% of sales.

The latest National Retail Security Survey (NRSS) reports that retail executives “perceive” that more than 45% of shrinkage is caused by employee theft and about 30% by shoplifting, but these overall perceptions varied by type of company.  So that you can formulate your own conclusions, it might be helpful to understand some of the key reasons why employee theft is perceived by many to be the number one loss factor in shrinkage.

Reasons Why Employee Theft is “Perceived” To Be the Number One Loss Factor

Typically the perception that employee theft exceeds shoplifting is based upon one or more of the following reasons.

• Retailers think about how employees are there all the time and the many opportunities that employees have to “beat” them.  What they often overlook is that the customers are also there beating them at the same time.  In addition, the volume of customers can often outweigh the number of employees by 100 to 1 or more over the course of the week.
• Retailers sometimes hold the belief that one dishonest employee is worth twenty shoplifters because they see a $1,000 employee admission vs. a $50 shoplifter apprehension.

The difference is misleading because employee recoveries are often the result of days, weeks or months of investigation and usually include prior admissions related to several or many theft incidents.  Shoplifting recoveries, on the other hand, deal almost exclusively with only one incident at the time of apprehension, even though many shoplifters steal on a regular basis from the same store.  Therefore, a valid comparison cannot be made based on recovery amounts.

It is interesting to note that the dollar value of the average theft by a dishonest employee (without prior admissions) is only 1.5 times greater than that of the shoplifter.  In other words, in the typical retail company, if the average theft by a shoplifter is $50, then the average theft by a dishonest employee will be $75 per individual incident, or about 50% higher.  Over time, the total value of all thefts may increase to equal many thousands of dollars stolen by each individual.

§         Some retailers are simply doing more to detect internal theft and are catching more dishonest employees as a result.  Surprised by the large number of employees detected, these retailers ten to assume that “this must only be the tip of the iceberg.”  While this may be true regarding dishonest employees, it is also true for shoplifters.

§         Some companies which have been highly successful at reducing shoplifting, have now rated employee theft as their top loss factor, and they are probably right, given their circumstances.  With good shoplifting controls, but poor internal controls, employee theft can exceed shoplifting.

§         Some retailers tend to simply accept the perceptions of their colleagues, which are reported in industry surveys, because they read about those big sensationalized internal theft cases published by security firms and the media.

Formulate Your Own Conclusions

While it is true that a larger percentage of employees will steal compared to customers and that the average theft by employees has a dollar value per incident about 1.5 times larger than shoplifters, most retailers would have to sustain a lot of internal thievery to offset the total impact of shoplifters.  For example, if as many as 20% of your employees steal vs only 1% of your customers, and the average loss from each dishonest employee is 20 times greater than the loss from each shoplifter over the course of a year, the impact from shoplifting on the company could still be 5 times greater than employee theft.

Although the threat of prosecution is a strong deterrent to crime, many retailers say they shy away from prosecution because of a lack of cooperation by local police or because of lenient sentences handed down by judges.  As a result, these retailers only “warn and release” many apprehended thieves or may simply choose to make a “civil demand” for money damages in lieu of prosecution.  As retailers appear to take the crime of shoplifting less seriously, offenders consider the act less risky.

To help reduce recidivism, retailers should be encouraged to establish a 100% prosecution policy, with appropriate exceptions of course.  While many shoplifters who are caught early in their shoplifting career will be deterred simply by being caught, approximately 57% of shoplifters who are classified by the court as “first offenders” admit they have already developed a shoplifting habit ranging from stealing once a month to stealing once a day.  For this group, their shoplifting habit (or addiction) will be hard to break without their penetration into the criminal justice system.

What Does Prosecution Mean To The Shoplifter?

Regardless of the specific penalty imposed on a shoplifter in one specific case, the shoplifter’s entry into the criminal justice system carries with it a string of penalties which may not be visible to the retailer or the court but are strongly felt by the offender.  In the shoplifters’ own words, these penalties include:

What About The Retailer’s Use Of “Civil Recovery” Laws?

In almost all 50 states, laws have been enacted which give retailers the right to demand and collect monetary damages from adult or juvenile shoplifters as a civil cause of action.  This right does not generally negate their existing right to pursue criminal prosecution in the courts as well.  These “civil recovery” laws, as they are often called, are designed to help retailers offset their high merchandise losses and their added cost for security.

While “civil recovery” is an added benefit when offenders are prosecuted, it can work in the reverse when offenders are not prosecuted and a “civil demand” is made in lieu of prosecution.

Shoplifters surveyed by the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP) were unanimous in their opinion that paying a fine in the form of a “civil demand”, while unpleasant, was far less threatening to them than the threat of prosecution and related consequences.

Shoplifters say that a retailer’s demand for civil damages in addition to prosecution is not a bad thing, but to substitute one for the other, they say, may ultimately do more harm than good.

Retailers and the courts should never forget the fact that prosecution through the legal system is still considered by the shoplifting offenders themselves to be the strongest deterrent to crime.

In today’s world, with some 43% of high school teens admitting to shoplifting and an estimated 1 in 11 adults who have tried their hand at it we have to ask…Is it even possible to “profile” a shoplifter?

With this in mind, we searched for shoplifting and retail theft news on the Internet to gather information about shoplifting incidents throughout the country. After this exercise we have to wonder if we are seeing the rise of a shoplifting class. A class of people who, ironically, defy classification because they come from all walks of life, young and old, rich and poor, well-educated, public servant or just your “average Joe” – It simply doesn’t matter who you are – our search proves that ANYONE is a potential shoplifter.

Here are some of the more remarkable headlines generated by our alert.  All of them ended in some variation of “…is caught shoplifting.”

Local gourmet…is caught shoplifting.

Private school Headmaster…

74-year-old woman…

Girls, ages 7 and 8…

Family of 4…

Foreign diplomat…

Teacher…

Assistant Police Chief…

Housewife…

Prominent doctor…

What does a shoplifter look like?

If you review the survey data available on apprehended offenders, the profile of a typical shoplifter might be described as a Caucasian adult male, between 22 and 30 years of age, who steals approximately $59 worth of merchandise on a Saturday afternoon between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm and who conceals stolen merchandise in his pocket or coat.  However, because the same shoplifter will steal different merchandise, in different types of stores, at different times and in different manner it again proves that there is no profile of a typical shoplifter.

For example, the same female shoplifter who uses a shopping bag to steal $165 worth of merchandise from a department store on a Saturday afternoon will later use her purse to conceal $19 worth of merchandise when she shoplifts in a supermarket or drug store on Tuesday after work.

Most shoplifters are regular customers – many of whom will buy something and also steal something.  It is a person’s actions rather than their appearance which should alert you to a possible shoplifter.  Stay alert!

Store Managers Commonly Ask:

“When we suspect a shoplifter in our store, should we act immediately to prevent the theft or should we try to go for the apprehension? Is it better to prevent or detect?”

While store policy will always dictate your actions, if you catch someone “red handed” and you’ve been trained how to apprehend, it makes sense to go for the apprehension.  Getting caught is exactly is what shoplifters fear the most and this fact alone helps to define what retailers should do.  To let a shoplifter go is to encourage the problem by weakening the deterrent value of apprehension and the related fear of prosecution.

However, retail managers and store managers rarely encounter a situation where the shoplifter is actually seen stealing the merchandise and the person observing the incident is fully trained to apprehend.  For this reason, the answer in the vast majority of cases is to go for prevention.

While it is possible to try and maintain continuous surveillance of a suspicious person in order to apprehend, this is difficult for salespeople and managers to do because of the constant demands on their time by others.  Even if they did have the time to maintain surveillance, because they are usually not well trained, they often don’t know exactly what to do or how to legally prove a person’s “intent” to steal beyond any reasonable doubt.  In most situations involving a salesperson or manager, prevention is the only practical choice.

What Does Prevention Mean?

Prevention means taking immediate action to deter a theft rather than waiting to see what a suspicious person might do.  Such action can include… making

frequent eye contact… greeting the person with a smile… acknowledging his/her presence in the store again… offering assistance in some specific way… making a complimentary remark about an item of clothing s(he) is wearing… commenting about specific store merchandise s(he) was admiring… working nearby… or taking every opportunity to offer customer service.  Prevention also means alerting the manager and other employees when s(he) moves to another part of the store and/or providing security personnel with a description so they can maintain surveillance.  Of course, once security personnel arrive on the scene, it is usually best to simply follow their instructions from that point forward.

Table 1 highlights why prevention is recommended in nine out of ten cases.  In truth, there really is no sensible alternative.  In the five common shoplifting situations described, an untrained store employee or manager should not try to apprehend in any situation, even when they actually see the theft incident occur, because they are UNTRAINED.  Even with a TRAINED security person or a store manager, they too should not (and cannot legally) apprehend when they are simply suspicious of someone, or only think they saw someone shoplift, or are alerted by another employee or are told by a customer that someone may have stolen merchandise. It is only when they actually observe the theft incident that they can legally apprehend… and these situations are the least common of all because the shoplifter naturally tries to avoid detection.

So how do you choose between prevention and apprehension?  Looking at the common shoplifting situations faced by retail employees and managers (Table 1), it becomes apparent why in the majority of cases prevention is the only practical choice.

Waterless cookware, have you ever heard of it? No, well you are not alone not many other people have heard of it either. To the unknowing ear, waterless cookware sounds like a super sophisticated scientific way of preparing food. Almost futuristic, but it’s actually highly graded stainless steel used when cooking food. It’s a healthy but rare way to prepare your food without taking all of the nutrients and natural flavors out your meals.
Waterless cookware usually has an iron core to retain the heat so that you don’t have to use a lot of water when cooking. Thus, allowing the natural flavor and juices to be used in place of the water. The benefits of using this cookware are plentiful.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Waterless Cookware

It cuts cooking time down, easier to clean afterwards, less amount of oils and fat, more vitamins and nutrients left after cooking and best of all the taste. It allows your cooking experience to be easier and you don’t have to worry about your food burning or sticking
to the cookware. The only unbeneficial facts I could reap from waterless cookware were that they aren’t easily available and they cost a fortune. Since using this type of cookware is almost unheard of these steel dishes aren’t sold in very many places. They are mostly sold through mail orders because of the high expense to manufacture them. The prices for a set of waterless cookware can range in cost but, it only makes sense for these things to be very expensive because it’s not an everyday household appliance.

As with any type of cookware, you will need to maintain it. Never allow anyone to use metal utensils with your waterless cookware, this will cause damage, and that is never a good thing. Most would recommend that you not put your waterless cookware in the dishwasher. This will help protect the steel and extend its life.

Where Can You Find It?

You are now able to buy waterless cookware on many of the online auction websites that are out there. You can also check around and see which retail outlets carry this type of cookware. Waterless cookware would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys cooking.
All in all, regardless of the rarity and extreme prices, I believe that this cookware is very healthy and practical. Hopefully, in the next few years to come it will become more popular and the prices will be lowered, bringing waterless cookware to the brink of being a necessity.

Ultrex cookware enjoyed a run of success on the Home Shopping Network.  HSN was the only distributor of this line of stainless steel skillets, pans, fryers, pressure cookers, and utensils.  Though the line has been discontinued, and is not for retail sale anywhere, there are still plenty of people that still swear by their Ultrex cookware, and others with pans that need repair or replacement. 

Replacement

There is no such thing as buying Ultrex cookware retail anymore.   Because the line is discontinued, people cannot even request replacements from the company.  Shoppers must look at secondary markets like eBay, yard sales, and online sites. 

EBay is probably the easiest place to buy Ultrex cookware.  Shoppers can just search by the keyword “Ultrex” and be presented with dozens of choices, usually at a lower price than the original retail.  This is a great choice if you need one particular piece to complete your set or a replacement lid.   As always, when shopping on eBay, check a seller’s record and shipping and returns policy before buying.

A few other sites still sell Ultrex cookware in limited quantities.  One site, Overstock.com, only sells discontinued items or odd lots and sometimes carries Ultrex.  If you are very lucky, you might come across a piece at a yard sale or a discount retailer like TJ Maxx. 

Repair

Ultrex cookware came with various guarantees and warranties when it was sold on the Home Shopping Network.  Indeed, some buyers have reported problems with their cookware.  There are reports of the nonstick surface peeling off, and of handles simply snapping.  But, because the line has been discontinued, getting repair or company replacement has proven difficult. 

Ultrex claimed to have a non-stick surface that would never peel and never get damaged; however, customers that report problems have found out the Home Shopping Network no longer works with Ultrex.  In fact, HSN is contacting Ultrex buyers themselves to try to tell them how to pursue a claim with Innova, Ultrex’ parent company.  Apparently, the product line had some major problems.

If you have a piece of Ultrex cookware that needs repair, the best idea might be to contact an independent repair shop and be prepared to pay for it yourself.  Or you may have to simply write off the experience with this cookware and shop for something new.  Given the trouble of pursuing a claim and the rather unpredictable claims of non-stick surfaces in general, it might be better to go with something indestructible like uncoated iron or copper.
