i remember i worked at burger king a few years ago and somehow -probably from someone who worked there – $3000 got stolen out of the register. two managers on duty. you think corporate said no big deal and covered it, no both the managers had to split $1500 out of their paychecks. corporations dont give a fuck what happens at the store they just want their money. go steal some shitty makeup from walmart but just know you’re not taking the money from sam waltons 700 grandkids, you’re taking it from whoever was on duty when you walked out the door
all these shoplifting bitches in the reblogs “ummmmm its not??? the same??? like lmao they can’t take money from workers anyway so :)”
But they can and they do, bitch, and you’re the reason for most of it. FFS just say you don’t care about the poor people who work these jobs and GO stop trying to justify your entitled bitch ass.
And no, its not “illegal” for them to garnish the wages of an employee, its not only perfectly legal in the US, they will fucking do it. We’ve been telling y’all that for fucking years and you keep stealing because you think retail workers are just lying to you.
Stop stealing or don’t be suprised when a worker fucking beats you into the hospital for destroying their lives.
I work part time in a grocery store and it’s literally written in my working contract that if I have a deficit in my register (more than 5€ missing) they’ll take that money from my next pay
When I worked at walmart we did inventory every year in January and my store was missing $5,000 so they took it from our bonus and then they just fired a lot of people to make up for it so no when you shop lift you hurt the workers not the corporation and fuck you if you shop lift.
When I worked at Lowes, we were below projections for the year due to shrinkage and low sales, so they cut every part time employee down to 10 hours a week. Three weeks before Christmas. They don’t give a single goddamn fuck.
I work at Walmart. This week we had to let three associates go because over the course of our last two quarters our losses due to theft more than doubled, and we need to cut costs in the departments these associates worked in. All three of these associates have children; two of them are single parents. If you make a habit of shoplifting from stores because “the company makes billions every year so they can handle a few hundred dollars in losses,” think about that, and think about the lives you’re ruining. We lose our jobs when you do what you do. Don’t pretend it doesn’t affect us.
Today at work I spent two hours doing inventory adjustments for my department. The process is essentially, count the number of a product on the shelf and see if it matches the number the computer says we have, then change the computer number to the correct amount. One or two items missing is normal. Stuff gets miscounted or the wrong barcode gets scanned or maybe the tags fell off and we ring it up as something else. That’s just par for the course. 200+ items is not.
Today alone in just ONE department there was over $1200 of merchandise missing.
I’m going to get my butt chewed out because $1200 is missing from my department and I don’t know where it went. That’s $1200 that my store will have to cover. That’s $1200 that comes out of payroll budget, which is already way too thin. $1200 is almost exactly one months pay for one employee, meaning we will probably have to let someone go, because we are losing this amount on an almost daily basis.
Fuck you and your lame excuses. When you shoplift, it isn’t hurting the corporation. It’s hurting the employees.
When you shoplift it means that one of my coworkers won’t be able to pay her bills this month. It means she won’t be able to afford to eat every day. It means that my coworkers and I will have to find a way to sneak gas money into her purse so that she can get home.
It means that corporate is going to make us tighten security. We will have to purchase more cameras and more alarms and more tags, with money we don’t have, which means hours will get cut even more. It means we will have to participate in shrink prevention programs, like consenting to having our belongings searched before we leave because corporate still insists that most of our shrink is internal.
I can understand if you are stealing food because you’re hungry, or medicine because you’re sick. it’s still wrong, but I understand that and if I saw you stealing food or medicine, I would probably look the other way and pay for it myself.
But you can’t eat cosmetics, ok? You won’t die without lipstick. You won’t suffer because you don’t have Levi jeans. You won’t get sick because you don’t have a wallet & penknife gift set, you’re just being a shitty person.
Enjoy your $12.00 compacts you crudnuggets. I hope it’s worth our jobs.
