Checkpoint tags are reputed to be able to stop clothing inventory losses by as much as 80%. For many potential customers, 80% seems like it would be an anomaly, one of those reports just to help validate a product or service. Can everyone really see an 80% reduction in theft?
In order to determine if Checkpoint Tags would help your inventory loss problems, you will first need to identify where your losses are coming from. In other words, what is the root cause of your inventory shrinkage?
Clothing security tags won’t help you with merchandise that never made it into your store from the vendor, or other distribution centers. There is no way to prevent a loss before the merchandise even enters your four walls. Merchandise receipt shortages should be addressed directly with your vendors and shippers.
Security tags on clothes will also not help you if your inventory losses are coming from damaged products. Additionally, if your cashiers are not selling the correct item number or SKU, you do not have a theft issue, you have an operational issue.
Checkpoint tags are only an effective deterrent against shoplifters, and to a lesser degree, employee theft. The tags increase the risk of a shoplifter being caught, making it far less attractive for them to steal, ultimately providing the deterrent and the reduction in your inventory losses.

Shoplifters are targeting less obvious merchandise. As they are more aware of anti shoplifting deterrents, shoplifters are looking to make an easier score are targeting items that are not common high theft items. The theory is that retailers are concentrating their resources on high end/ high priced, designer, and well-known brands. If shoplifters look for products they can still sell or pawn but are not a typical high theft item, they can commit their crimes with a lower risk.
One example is a theft ring that was just caught in Arizona. The thieves were targeting more expensive building block toys. These thieves knew better than to steal hundred dollar fragrances or designer jeans (for example) they went after the toys. In stores that cater to mostly moms and kids, the stop shoplifting devices that were in place are much easier to defeat, and these criminals knew it.
After several thousands of dollars in product had been lost, the toy stores partnered with the local crime ring task force who ultimately put an end to the losses. Being prepared with an anti shoplifting strategy means going beyond using retail anti theft devices to stop shoplifting. It means being aware of your inventory on all levels- both high and low risk merchandise.

Recent reports are showing that 1 in 4 residents in some parts of California have a criminal record. Some state residents feel that there are too many potential employees who cannot find work because job applications have a pre employment screening box to mark if the applicant has had a prior criminal conviction. As a result, these applicants are unjustly passed over for these open jobs.
A Ban the Box Bill is being presented to the state legislation to eliminate pre employment screening- specifically about up- front criminal record disclosures.
There are two main talking points on both sides of the issue.
The first comes from the employers who say because 1 in 4 have a criminal past, it is necessary to find out up front who does and does not have a conviction. They feel that they have a right to hire the best candidate for the position, even if that means eliminating applicants that may be qualified but have a criminal conviction compared to qualified candidates that don’t.
Still, many employers readily state that they would hire a convicted applicant, depending on what the conviction was for, and what position they had applied for. DUIs and drug charges were viewed as minor offenses compared to theft and violence charges.
Advocates of the bill say that job seekers who have a criminal past are being discriminated against when they disclose their criminal convictions. They feel like the potential employees have already paid their dues for the crimes that they committed and should now be given a clean slate to try and rebuild their lives. By eliminating the pre employment screening requirements on job applications more people will have a better chance of finding work.

There are many different reasons why a shoplifter steals, but the end result is still the same. Liquor stores need to maintain vigilance with their bottle security to reduce the potential for inventory shrinkage. When faced with bottle locks and other kinds of liquor bottle security, many shoplifters will go somewhere else that is an easier target. This includes underage drinkers that are trying to shoplift alcohol.
A twelve-year-old boy was recently arrested when a neighbor called to report that he was intoxicated. When the police arrived, the boy told them he gets drunk several times a week. The boy’s mother clams to have no knowledge of these incidents or where the alcohol comes from.
More than likely she is either lying and is giving him access to her liquor cabinet, or he has found a store that he can easily steal the liquor from.
Obviously a twelve year old should not be able to walk into a liquor store and buy a bottle of liquor. That means that these minors are prime suspects for stealing the product, since they cannot legally buy it. It doesn’t have to be a twelve-year old causing problems. It can be any underage drinker attempting to steal what they cannot legally buy.
This is one of many scenarios that liquor stores need to be aware of why they are at risk of theft and shoplifting. Liquor bottle security reduces these risks by deterring shoplifters and making it harder to steal.

Having more than one person in on a theft job can be problematic. As a result many employee theft investigations are based on employees who have acted solo. The good news for retailers is that by using the buddy system you have a better chance to deter internal theft.
One of the easiest times for an employee to steal is when they open and close down the tills. If there is only one person in the building, temptation has a funny way of sneaking in. Faced with large sums of cash and no one to provide a check and balance, employees are more easily swayed towards cash theft.
When two or more employees are present inside the building and part of the opening and closing process, temptation is easier to be held at bay. Faced with the prospect of this additional employee walking in on them, many would be thieves choose not to steal.
The same rule applies for refunds and returns. If an employee can access and perform refunds at will, there is little stopping them from taking advantage of the opportunity to perform their own fraudulent refund.
When another employee (or manager) has to sign off and validate those returns, internal theft is less likely. The employee knows that if someone starts to question where the customer, or the product is (or the refund can be validated via CCTV) it won’t take long to determine if the refund is fake or not.

When working or managing a Pro Shop for a golf course, it is easy to let your guard down to problems like pro shop theft- specifically golf club theft. It is easy to take for granted that there are members of the golf course or country club that might in fact steal from a pro shop.
Most golf courses have some form of sign in, or identifying process. A credit card is taken to reserve tee times or golf carts. In private clubs, an application is filled out and members are supposed to take accountability for their guests. Regular members and customers of the pro shops are easily identified because of their loyalty and time spent at the pro shops trying to improve their game. With all of these measures in place, it is easy to become complacent and to blindly trust the people coming in and out of your pro shops.
That doesn’t mean that you should. Pro shop theft and golf club theft can happen just as easily as in any other retail environment. A guest with no loyalty to a club can steal from you as a means to keep up with their affluent friends. A regular can take advantage of your trust by stealing when an opportunity presents itself.
Golf club theft is actually easier than what it sounds. Even though the clubs are long, they are thin and relatively easy to slide into a player’s golf bag, or inside of clothing. Since a single club can run hundreds of dollars, any shoplifting or theft is going to make a significant financial impact. Pro shop theft includes the wider array of merchandise, since pro shops often carry high end, or quality golfing attire and accessories. While these items might not have a single significant impact, over time, they too can add up to a huge loss in profitability.
