STOP STEALING MY STUFF! – BOTTLE LOCKS
Like you and many other retailers out there, I’m pretty tired of people stealing my stuff! One of my biggest pains and areas of greatest loss is my alcohol section. It seems like every day I find that I’m missing some liquor, or a good bottle (or 5) of wine. What can I do… what can you do to stop this! Why should I have to pay for someone’s party!!! Not long ago, I began using bottle locks and they’ve really helped me fight this battle.
Out of all the Alpha Security products out there, the simple bottle lock is probably my favorite. For starters, I don’t have a large staff. My employees are limited to a few cashiers, two stockers and me. While I have a camera system, I don’t have anyone actively monitoring the cameras and my staff is usually pretty busy with maintaining full shelves, checking out customers, unloading trucks, so it was important to find a way to stop thieves from stealing my product that could be pretty much a hands off approach.
Second, I face a lot of scrutiny from vendors. There’s a reason some liquor bottles are designed the way they are. These companies want their particular bottle to rise above the competition. So it is often difficult to leverage the need to secure the liquor with the vendors need to put it in the hands of the customer. Bottle locks are a great solution. They don’t interfere with packaging or really take away any merchandising aspect of a particular bottle and they let me secure against thieves.
Additionally, I have to also protect my store from potential lawsuits. What if some teenagers get the bright idea to come in and steal some liquor? Then, in their drunken stupor go out and kill someone on the road. There is legal precedent out there that says I can face legal consequences if I didn’t do enough to secure the product away from the hands of those that are not able to legally purchase. Crazy to think that is even a remote possibility, but it has happened and will more than likely happen again somewhere. Alpha Security and bottle locks can at the very least provide you with some peace of mind.
Finally, I have to put my bottom line at the front of any decision I make. With every expense, I must see that there is a true return on investment. Alpha Security provides me with that return and I see it every day in my stores. Not only are my shelves consistently stocked with the merchandise my customer’s want, I am deterring criminal activity in my store by simply popping a top on a bottle of the good stuff.
