Sears used to have store detectives carry handcuffs and pepper spray. They authorized the use of these items to detain a shoplifter. This was almost 30 years ago, though. Nowadays they don't have any merchandise in Sears that anyone wants to steal.
If only Walmart had working cameras in their stores. They utilize fake cameras to fill out the areas they aren't concerned about. But the cameras are mostly aimed at the employees to prevent employee theft.
So happy to come across this. One of my favorite LP moments was shortly after we got this young-up and coming manager who was very good. Great guy and loved him as well as our LP guy! Our LP team was very experienced and successful. I forget exactly what I was doing, but assume I was helping out seasonal as I was a GM Sup at the time and was in the garden center. I see some guy run past the garden center with a bunch of stuff heading towards the shopping center across the street. Seconds later see our LP guy running while grabbing his chest, yelling! In the same direction. Few seconds later see my MANAGER speeding past into the road in the forklift to help also yelling. Then another literal few seconds later, see police lights and sirens passing and swarming the next door shopping center. Words do not do justice of the chaos that was in that moment and couldn't help but laugh my head off and remained to be one of my favorite memories at Shopko.
You'd be really surprised how long retail takes to keep up with technology. At Sears in 2009, our workstations were running Windows 2000. The registers were running proprietary software originally built in the late 90s.
The Kmart I went to in Bridgehampton, NY yesterday we’re still using the IBM CPUs that are well over 20 years old! It’s sad how they can’t even update their POS system…
They are allowed to leave when they want, which means Walmart are not allowed to hold without police,and or before the criminal trespass is signed, in store, not in jail..you just got a lawsuit for the store.
Basically - the caught suspected shoplifter is backroomed before doing the investigation and resultant consequences and/or arrest follow. Something like what happens when you suspect a card counter at a casino.
Quick shoplifting tip: get a new roll of paper towels , pop the plastic in the middle where the tube is, fill the tube with all sorts of expensive cosmetics, when you check out only ring up the paper towels and get the goodies inside for free
How about not stealing in the first place. If you are starving and broke I can't knock someone for stealing food and non-alcoholic drink but otherwise it you don't own it, don't remove it from the store.
Now the newest thing is is to get a box of cereal take the cereal out of the box and fill the box full of meats and just scan the cereal box itself check out
Does it make sense to have loss prevention officers if they can only call the police after the shoplifter left the store and if they cannot physically detain someone?
Yes, it's required by the corporation's insurance carrier. That's the only concrete reason I can think of. The LP rules are gonna vary fairly wildly because pertinent state laws vary as such.
7 times , Kim possible did not apprehend in store, or attempt to stop. she could have called police in the store she did not. She walked by us in the store. So we checked out, and Walked out of self check out- not customer anymore, Who messed up you did. Fact she was not watching as usual milking the clock. why not try before we left, and ended up in parking lot. So whose equipment malfunctioning. Just as in the case of the 2.1 million nurse lawsuit. because we were still customers and make no intent to conceal, this is evident when she called over the radio, what did we take only grocery items. Which means no cameras. Dead spots and they were not watching. No loop hole there. Dirrty pool not gonna fly here. What did we steal , do you even now, Two they take pictures all the time to release in price Utah. Has the Public seen this person. Let's find those, this is an of good Americas most wanted.
Another fact we had undercover boss, pretty sure Mr Doug Walton came through, rolled some chapstick over his lips said people very high strung ,.or something to that nature, either way he was disgusted.
We have a felid supervisor whose that? Las Vegas? And they didn't fill out the right form, go figuire- let me guess none of the shoplifting indents were reported were they. Won't be hard to find those look for the public photos, with police station.
This makes no sense. Shopliferts don't just stop and listen to loss prevention. They tell them to EFF off and thewn run or hit them. This video is so stupid. I am glad Shopko went out of business. I would never work for them doing this kind of job. What's the point? It's basically saying "We watch shoplifters and let them go after politely asking them to give back items." This is so unrealistic.
All shoplifters are always very cooperative and will follow the LPs instructions. LOL
😂😂😂😂
Most do, some don’t. ☺️
Depends on the market

@@mharris5047 Some places still do that, but most don’t. It looks bad to the public.
11:27 “Here, the shopper grabs high value electronic items”
Grabs DVDs
"Do not touch the subject"
Meanwhile Target LP is tackling shoplifters to the ground to prevent them from getting away
natedoggcata well that’s probably the next step when the shoplifter refuses to be detained.
@spirals 73 Which body part? 😏
Good. They should taze suspected shoplifters.
@spirals 73 glory hole? My kind of target 😍
@@zjones9876 Don't tase me, bro! is what they will say.

Lol $600 vacuum ringing up for $5 thats way to obvious lady 😂
I remember watching this in 2003, the reason why I remember is because I remember who our store manager was during that time period.
But the video is from 2006.. 🤔
this is helpful for shoplifters lmao thank you
good luck stealing at shopko these days
I thought the same thing. Just tell shoplifters how you catch them so they can think of a new way to steal.
2022 Step 1 - Watch and do nothing as suspect cleans out all the stores merchandise Step 2 - do nothing
Step 3: make TikTok about it.

Shops give count numbers of items before taking into changing rooms so they know how many items come out.
me finding this video in 2023 and remembering when the "shoplifter" was the LP at the store i worked at😂
why am i here. it's 1 am
I exactly read your comment at 1 am here a year after you posted it
I hope both of you were able to get some sleep
2006? More like 1999 😂

This must be from the late 80's No mention of possible violence for catching the thief.

I've been shoplifting for 30 years plus. Never been caught..cause I'm not a dumbass. Lol
The irony in this comment is unreal

Please, bring some more vedeos, related to interviews demo.
Gud vedeo. Luv from India

Wtf
Sure, unless loss prevention is watching you shove items inside.
How about not stealing in the first place. If you are starving and broke I can't knock someone for stealing food and non-alcoholic drink but otherwise it you don't own it, don't remove it from the store.
And idiots like you wonder why things are expensive. I love seeing you all in court! Makes my day! 😊
I was LP that’s how I know the trick
"Return to the store with me..."
"Nope.”
8:01 so carry a weapon when shoplifting?
Great idea... Turn shopping into an armed robbery 😆
Now the newest thing is is to get a box of cereal take the cereal out of the box and fill the box full of meats and just scan the cereal box itself check out

5:59 man this shop lifting evidence tag apparently was filled out in thr very beginning of time
this is not what happens in real world, the shop lift gonna say "bunk yo ass and run" like a true nigga
Customer contact=unlawful detention
Make vedeos related to loss prevention interviews, with Demos
I'm confused, there was a time when shoplifting was illegal?
Was this filmed in Oshkosh?
It was filmed in Oshkosh. There is a video on this channel of a closing walk through of that location.

Baby carriage gre
Baby carriage neon green blanket white Tshirt, sunglass, grabbed box, put under top of button that collapsible carriage.
One grabbed box opened it, the other put the first box in her purse. Her back turned, so pocket on white purse, her hand was empty
20:26 sounds like a crotch rocket reving its engine
shopko was closed because of Walmart.
We have a felid supervisor whose that? Las Vegas? And they didn't fill out the right form, go figuire- let me guess none of the shoplifting indents were reported were they. Won't be hard to find those look for the public photos, with police station.
That guy doesn't look older
who steals from shopko thats some ghetto shyt
I did back in 1993. I was 13. Got caught and it scared some sense into me for sure

You should never search the individual :) Really? You should allow him or her to attack or kill you?
The most obvious thefts ever
