Because in my experience (15 years of supermarket work) I’ve never seen anything get treated as importantly as they treat profit protection.
Sorry, I’m being dense this Sunday. How does this protect profit? Surely fitting employees with body cams eats into your profit as it is a cost?
Customers are significantly less likely to try and pocket something if there’s a risk of them being called up on it, or actually caught on camera.
Even if they never actually catch anyone, the fact that people can see the cameras would likely serve as a deterrent.
Is that not a good thing? Less chance of criminal activity, less chance of getting stabbed whilst stacking shelves?
