Alcoholic Beverage Thefts

Question:

How do I protect my alcoholic beverages such as liquor, wine, or spirits from shoplifters in my store?

Solution: 

The ultimate security for liquor, spirits, and wine is the bottle cap. Bottle caps are placed on the bottle in store and accomplish several goals. Firstly, a bottle cap provides product-denial to the would-be shoplifters. It accomplishes this by completely covering or “capping” the bottle. Secondly, the cap itself is designed to shatter prior to the cap being able to be removed. If a shoplifter tries to open the bottle while in store and either consume the contents of the bottle or pour it into another container, the bottle cap will thwart this attempt.

The main advantage of having a bottle cap on the merchandise in your store is having an Electronic Article Surveillance (E.A.S.) system set up. Having an E.A.S. system will set off an alarm in front of the store if a thief attempts to steal the bottle and remove it from the store. Alpha Bottle Caps such as EASy GUARD, Crystal GUARD, and EASy Bottle GUARD provide a cost effective solution for preventing loss of merchandise whether they are stand-alone or in conjunction with an E.A.S. system.

Phantom Alarms Caused by Holiday Decorations

Issue:

Holiday decorations are causing “phantom alarms” on my Checkpoint system.

Solution:

Your Checkpoint Anti-Shoplifting system is designed to detect a radio frequency (such as RF

tags and labels) tuned to 8.2 MHz. If you have placed a Christmas tree or other holiday

decoration that contains lights, metallic garland, or any other metallic items within 4 ft. of one

of the antennas, it will likely cause phantom alarms.

In addition, you should never decorate

the Checkpoint antennas with anything metallic, including any wires, foil garland, and other

items of that nature. It is always best to never place anything directly on your Checkpoint

antennas.

Shoplifter’s Methods of Distraction

Issue:

Potential customers are using methods of distraction to shoplift merchandise.

Solution:

Some shoplifters work together in pairs or even in groups of three or more individuals. This

teamwork allows the thieves to distract a staff member with one person while the others

conceal merchandise to remove it from the store. In many cases, multiple shoplifters will steal

items in different areas of the store at one given time. Shoplifters know that if they overburden

your customer service resources that they stand a better chance of getting out of your store

undetected.

A Checkpoint system coupled with hard tags or labels compensates for a

retailer’s distracted staff on the sales floor. If shoplifters attempt to steal or conceal merchandise

items while store staff is distracted and then attempt to leave the store with them, the

Checkpoint system alarms and alerts staff of the attempted theft.

Customer Service Uses for Shoplifting Prevention

Issue:

Can customer service be used for shoplifting prevention?

Solution:

Pay close attention to all customers who enter your store. Acknowledge the presence of the

customers by saying something like, “I’ll be with you in a moment”. This simple salutation will

deter most impulse shoplifters which make up the majority of shoplifters that enter a retail

store. The true solution to shoplifting is a combination of customer service and a Checkpoint

system.

Customer service is not only utilized for add-on sales or to project your store sales

environment, but it also can be used as an effective method against shoplifters. Most thieves

hate customer service; however when the customer to service ratio is not balanced and your

employees cannot adequately tend to all of the customers in the store, the Checkpoint

becomes your backup. The Checkpoint system is always operating. If shoplifters attempt to

remove merchandise from the store, the Checkpoint system will alarm and alert staff members

of attempted thefts.

Checkpoint System Cleaning

Issue:

Can the Checkpoint System’s antennas be cleaned when they are dirty or dusty?

Solution:

Yes! You can clean the Checkpoint System antennas with a damp cloth. If the damp cloth

does not suffice, use a mild cleaning agent that is designed for plastic and metal. Do not soak

the cleaning cloth with water or cleaning agents as the moister could damage the electronic

components and wiring of the Checkpoint system. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaning

agents on the system.
