Shoplifting -  ‘What To Look For’

* ATTEND TO ALL CUSTOMERS PROMPTLY , DO NOT ALLOW  QUEUES

   TO BUILD UP AT THE CHECKOUT.  QUEUES INDICATE TO A THIEF THAT

   YOU ARE BUSY AND MIGHT NOT NOTICE THEM

* CASHIERS SHOULD ENSURE ALL CUSTOMERS ARE GIVEN A RECEIPT

    AND ANY NOT TAKEN SHOULD BE TORN IN HALF. THIS TO PREVENT

    CUSTOMERS DUPLICATING PURCHASES.

* WATCH OUT FOR CUSTOMERS WITH EMPTY BAGS AND CARRIERS.

* WATCH OUT FOR CUSTOMERS WATCHING YOU.

* AN EXPENSIVE MAGAZINE COULD BE PLACED BETWEEN THE

   PAGES OF A NEWSPAPER

* ITEMS COULD BE PUSHED UNDER THE BLANKETS OF A PUSHCHAIR

* PRICE LABELS MAY BE SWAPPED FROM ONE PRODUCT TO

   ANOTHER TO OBTAIN A HIGHER PRICED ITEM AT A LOWER PRICE

* THIEVES WILL STEAL ITEMS FOR WHICH THEY HAVE A RECEIPT,

   THEREBY HAVING AN ALIBI. THEY MAY HAVE MADE A GENUINE

    PURCHASE  EARLIER, OR THEY MAY HAVE FOUND THE RECEIPT

    ON THE FLOOR.
