Having turnstiles and gates at exit and entrance doors is a useful way to reduce shoplifting. In some cases it actually enhances the effectiveness of bottle locks used to reduce shoplifting losses in liquor stores.
What a turnstile does is slow down the flow of traffic. When shoplifters are exiting the store, they cannot leave quickly. Groups of shoplifters also cannot leave all at once. A turnstile forces them to leave one at a time, in a single file line.
The turnstile and gate slows them down long enough for employees to catch up with them. In particular, if they are stealing bottles that use alarm embedded bottle locks, such as Alpha Security EASy Bottle locks.
Without a turnstile, groups of shoplifters could bolt out the door setting the alarm off as they exit. Employees, who are not aware of what is going on, might only have a few seconds to react. This is not enough time to do anything to stop the situation.
With a turnstile in place, the first shoplifter will set off the alarm, and might get away. However, because the rest of the shoplifters are forced to wait in line, employees have a better chance of recovering stolen merchandise or apprehending some of the last group members attempting to get out the door. The first shoplifter turns into a warning for the last shoplifters in line.

One of the most effective leads to follow when creating an employee theft investigation is ones that come directly from employees. Employees are more likely than you or a manager to see what their co-workers are doing. They can tell if they work hard when you are and are not around. They might also know more about an employee’s personal issues like a financial hardship.
As a result, your employees might be more likely to notice employee theft before you will. Unfortunately employee theft tips are hard to generate.
The employees do not want to feel like they are giving bad information about someone. As such, they need to have absolute faith in you- faith that they can trust you and you will keep their confidence and not make them out to be a tattle -tale later on.
One way to help facilitate this garnering of information is to find a way to allow the employees to remain anonymous when they disseminate the information to you. If you have the resources to set up a phone number that allows for anonymous reports, that is one of the best ways to set up a way for employees to leave their tips.
Another way is to create a locked box in a break room, or attached to a manager’s office. It can be labeled as a suggestion box, as long as employees are aware that employee theft tips can be left there too. Lastly, nothing else compares to having employees trust you enough to tell you directly what is going on. The more you instill trust and confidence in your employees, the more likely they will be to come to you with their suspicions.

At the end of a bottle service, the nightclub will hold the remainder of the patron’s purchased liquor bottles in secured storage. Because of how liquor licenses are usually set up for a night club, compared to a liquor store, the bottles can not be taken with the patrons, even though they have paid for them in full.
The solution is that the club will securely keep the bottles until the next time the patron come back to the club. Then the patron can be served the remainder of the bottle of liquor.
In the mean time, nightclubs are faced with how to keep the opened bottle secure. There is more to it than just having a designated or off limits storage area just for opened bottles. An open bottle unattended for days, maybe weeks at a time, is just asking to be consumed under the radar by employees.
Many employees know they would be caught if they took drinks from the bar’s inventory, but what about a bottle that is not closely monitored? In particular, a bottle that is already opened and the exact contents are unknown can be the perfect target.
If the club draws a line on the bottle to show where the liquor was when they received the bottle, the club may come across as unprofessional or tacky when the patron comes back and sees the drawings. Smart employees could also drink out of the bottles and then fill it back up to the line with water or tea.
Using designated bottle locks keeps the contents secure without damaging or marking the actual bottle. The patron does not need to be aware of your in house security concerns, as the bottle lock could be taken off before the bottle is served.
