This was a the same justification Sears used before they shut down! They blamed stolen merchandise as the downfall! I didn’t really agree with that!

The market drives the price. If it's too high . no one will buy. If there are competitors, the price goes down as well. Capitalism- it's a good thing.

@@sjcflawless OK . You may not agree, but I agree with the stores decision to close. Probably in a lower rent area, crime is usually higher. Regular folks pay for their stuff.

@@bopeep86 Agreed.

@@bopeep86 Amazon was really the ultimate reason why Sears closed. Stolen merchandise was the number two reason. In the end, I can only go by the earnings and media reports. Sears was everywhere! The appliances were the cheapest. I’m pretty sure most of the loss occurred in areas where theft occurs often. I miss Sears though!

I hate self checkout. I went to a Walmart marketplace store when I don't usually go there and was surprised to find out that they don't have any cashiers after 8PM. They seemed annoyed that I went to the customer service counter to buy my stuff. I have health problems that make it hard for me to be on my feet and I just wanted to buy my stuff as quickly as possible. Walmart makes an insane amount of money and they can't even afford to hire cashiers? I won't steal even though I'm homeless, but I have no sympathy for them if other people take advantage of them being too cheap to hire cashiers.

I believe this to be true everywhere.. Especially Walmart. If you hired cashiers then it would cut theft down by prob 70%

@@tj7179 When the Walmart grocery store was open 24/7, I used to go in the middle of the night and I'd walk around looking for someone to ring me up and then just leave what I wanted to buy at the register and then leave. I'm sure they must have have many people just walk out without paying.

The logic is that the loss is less than the total cost of employees. Now that losses are increasing the math just doesn't pan out any longer. Combine that with basic greed. That small percentage used to be acceptable. In order to keep margin GROWTH, they have trimmed all the labor they could, volume is stagnant, the easiest target left is reduce loss. Profits were a certain percentage, if that stays the same they're still making money. They just aren't making MORE.

@@Primalxbeast No. They use the self checkout like a logical adult.

This is true, salespersons at Home Depot run when they see customers.

Lol I laughed when she asked that, what kind of question is that?

Exactly!!!!

First thing I noticed, her first two questions are dumb

@@Iowa21 A lot of dumb people watch TV. These dumb people have dumb questions like this. They think "Home Depot is a big company, so why can't they just absorb the losses?" So by asking an intentionally dumb question, she gives him an opportunity to speak directly to all the jerks in the audience who think this is no big deal. She plays dumb and it appeals to all the dumb viewers who think "Hey, she's just like me, wondering 'bout this stuff." It's more diplomatic than saying "Explain to our audience why this is a problem."

That’s a legitimate question. Many businesses just count it as an operating expense. Now it’s an organized large operation and is too much of a business cost to absorb by just reducing profit.

When I work in retail that was one of the main issues. The employees are ripping off the business more than anyone. They get their friends to come in, shoplift, and split the money

Exactly

Sad. So many thieves

employees can help you with an inside job and not even know it. when you order something online usually they keep it in a cart by the back door somewhere. not that I would do it, but a person could easily add all kinds of stuff to said cart. when you pick up your online order they call back and have someone bring you your cart they dont bother to check it over again because it was already loaded by an employee so they unknowingly shoplift for you. if your worried about cameras when loading cart wear a mask and a hat different color shirt they cant prove its you and you didn't actually have it in your possession and walking out the store.

it shrinks??

*EXACTLY* ☝🏽

this is only half the story, as expected with NBC reporting. home depot already got an insurance check on the theft. the cops now stole it from the thief. you think they will give it back to home depot or whatever store? hilariously no. the cops keep it and auction it off and pocket the money. they likely let the thief go because its likely a crime ring and racketeering job and all are in on it.

To God be the glory

Why should businesses have to fork the unnecessary cost just to do their normal business. The cost of operation will go up either way. Therefore, prices will too.

Most likely an attempt to prevent cops from shooting legitimate customers.

@Prince Wojak then don’t call at all. If they don’t have the stolen merchandise on them then it’s been my experience the prosecution doesn’t want to take the case.

That last is actually an important point that I have not seen raised, JD. Imagine if the store negotiated in advance with law enforcement about how to notify them when they see a likely impending shoplifting, so that officers could already be on their way or present outside when the thief exits the building. Would that work, in your opinion? Or would that be treated by LE as a nuisance, since at the time of the first call no actual crime has yet occurred, and some shoplifters might abort their theft if the police arrival was noticed (by them or an associate outside)? Too many fruitless calls - so wait until the crime is verified before calling.

There's really no law against concealing merchandise. Only once you attempt to walk out the doors without paying for it is a crime. Anyone can walk around a store stuffing drills down their pants all they want to but if they take it back out and pay for it no crime committed

@@billybobjamesalt2255 That’s not completely true but your close. It’s passed all points of sale. So once you go pass the cash registers you are fair game.

Everyone knows lumber has gone up due to the pandemic

I talked to the HD lumber manager and he says they are also paying a lot more for the product. They have contracts with suppliers and the prices fluctuate. I also talked with a bid that runs a hardware store and lumber yard, he told me the same thing. He said “ it’s not me, it’s the suppliers”.

Wrong answer, leftist clown. In none of the fifty states do rent-a-cops (aka loss prevention, security, whatever their exact title) have the right to lay hands on you or search your possessions. See the 4th amendment if you believe otherwise. And yes, contrary to popular belief, the 4th amendment _does_ in fact apply to places of public accommodation as well since the right to be secure in your own person is a NATURAL right which cannot be taken away except through due process. So no, in CT, store security cannot use "whatever means necessary" to stop the theft. They're free to try, but they'll either get charged with battery or attacked back in self-defense. And if you think for even a _second_ that the suspected shoplifter will be charged with robbery due to choosing to defend him (or herself), think again. The woman who was strong-armed by "undercover" (aka plain clothes) loss prevention personnel at an Ikea store in St. Louis ended up having all charges dropped simply because she was grabbed by one of the rent-a-cops. So while true that responding officers and the D.A.'s Office often don't care enough to investigate such matters, there are times when they listen to both sides of the story.

Checking receipts at the door is complicated now that you have people refusing to show receipts at the door even when they have one and exiting the store. There are people doing this while recording and placing on KZfaq. Many are so called "auditors" stating they are standing up for their rights.

How can someone show a receipt if they choose the email option? Besides once I pay for the item, no one touches it.

0,0778%, that is how much the thieves cost them, so that is how much they can raise prices

Nice that’s smart

Maybe in your area but there’s MANY decent areas where this normally doesn’t happen.

That's the real hidden cost. If you measure this in just dollars, they said that the losses amounted to less than a million per billion of sales; if each billion of sales produces, say, $20 million in profits (after all costs), that's less than 5% of profits. Stopping it could cost much more, directly (eg: more security) or indirectly (lawsuits). So they decide whether or not some measure is worth it. But the social cost is a society where people feel that others are openly getting away with crime while they have to work their butts off. Over time that corrodes the social contract, leads to some negative outcomes. Joining the thieves is one possibility, but there are others.

Because... pawn shops are the fencers? Any of this registering? Stop smoking so much weed man.

@@klong024 0.088% of gross sales actually, but higher when compared to net profits. The good news is that honest customers are buying FAR more than thieves are stealing. If 5% of customers stole instead, they would go out of business or raise prices. At the current rate, they only have to raise prices by less than 1% to cover the losses (that is, raising prices by 1% would provide more than enough extra gross profit to cover the losses).

They need to hire experienced LP and pull off the restraints. Walmart make it an easy target due to LP being handcuffed by Walmart policy. Over 30 years in LP, and highly trained people is a must.

Naw everything is up. Raw materials and tools

It's a cycle like you said

@SEC Securities and Exchange Commission I used to work for a store and if i remember correctly when i person is catch steeling the person is arrested and next day released but the merchandise gets thrown away !! anyway your still collecting money for stolen property and the tax is just a man made way to collect money from working people so politicians can sit at home if the police station collects the money $$ so the tax shod be adjusted for home owners since many home owners pay tax for police stations you can not collect money + homeowners tax at the same % so what happens to the money the police station will collect is it pocketed or its it used to adjust the % so home owners can pay less tax since the police stolen lets say made 100K in stolen property or is the money donated and the is proof its bin donated to a hospital even if its donated to schools the tax needs to be adjusted again for homeowners !

That's funny because retailers make next to nothing per sale, they make their money in other aspects of the business or other products. But I DeWalt drill that was $120 at home Depot was genuinely probably $99 out the manufacturers door...

If they can buy it for $20 new from the manufacturer, then it will be far cheaper at some other store or at Amazon. More likely they buy for $90-100.

I don’t remember that store or they didn’t have one where I lived. However I know circuit city moved to a similar model for higher priced items. CDs, movies, cases and small priced items stay on the floor. Mid value were in locked cabinets on the showroom floor and higher priced items were rang up/paid for and the item would come out at customer service from the back warehouse. They had working demos that were secured down or behind display cases. The retail industry went to a customer needs to touch it to but it model and self service as ways to cut down cost, but this may actually be costing them more.

In Canada there was a retailer called Consumers Distributing with the same concept. They had a catolog u look thru then filled out a card with what u wanted.

Stores are already moving to online. Pretty soon there will not be many retail stores. That business model probably doesn’t work well with home improvement stores.

Not a bad idea

@@kenbrownfield6584 Thank you.

@@jimziemer474 Well, it would cost a lot to have like lumber, drywall and mud delivered. You could order it online then pick it up like H D Pro.

You can't pick lumber through a computer screen. You'll end up with all the warped, twisted , cracked, and knot filled stuff you couldn't build a dog house it of.

770k out of a billion is less than 1% why is this a story? Tax is 13% whats the big deal. The feds are skimming at a way higher rate than people stealing merchandise .

Mine as well put Gestapo at every exit ams bar codes up every ones buts. We live in America dude you dont have to turn a store into a prison. Make products cost more for more security. Just enforce the law. Punish people where they dont want to do it again

Well, you are supposed to show the receipt (per your membership agreement). If the line is too long I just walk out. A criminal would do the same. The receipt checker is just for honest people. It wouldn’t stop a criminal.

@@jimziemer474 sounds like stop and frisk

@@abnnuzzinicholasclay686 you wouldn't think that if it was your money and what if your cable bill doubled because of theft and they said hey it's only $100 more
