“NRF data from its annual Retail Security Survey indicates that the percentage of shrink attributed to external theft, including organized retail crime, has largely remained around 36% since 2015.”

Holy fucking shit dude…wasn’t expecting some shit like that…So we’re saying that spoilage, damage, logistical inefficiency, pilferage/embezzlement etc. is roughly twice as likely to cause losses in inventory than shoplifting?

Next time someone wants to check your receipt, ask em to empty their pockets. Sounds like they could, statistically, be as likely or more to be stealing shit…
