"May have" and "exaggerated"? They fucking did lie.
I wish there was punishment for a company lying for their own interests
I work at a target and if anything, they're actively encouraging theft. We used to have a secure lockup for electronics and they just rebuilt it to be an aisle you can climb into in a minute. Yet they complain there's nothing they can do 🤦
- I also suspect that they mark up the prices for goods they encourage to be stolen. I was in a Walgreens and saw some Stridex pads for $22 (they go for around $4.50 on Amazon). That way if it gets stolen they can claim huge losses.
  
  So here is the facts about this. Worked at walmart and 4 pallets of aluminum foil were never delivered. Same pallet on 3 reorders.
  So management raised the price to like 5 bucks a roll when they sell for 99 cents. Ran it that way for a month then marked the lost pallets as shrinkage.
Obligatory shoplifting always has been and always will be a bullshit excuse
If Books Could Kill had a bonus episode about this a few weeks ago. Partial audio here:

We may have to start making excuses for the lack of shoplifting
Sounds like we need to shoplift harder until their claims become accurate.
