Hi!
I was manager of a busy shop in Plymouth and we lost around £50 a week or so in shoplifting! The shop was bell shaped, wider at the front doors, and the gondolas obscured the corners and this was where we lost the stock.
I had a brainwave and turned the gondolas so they pointed toward the corners and this gave me clear lines of sight into the corners. Our shoplifting problem was solved like that!
The area manager came round the next week and asked why the gondola ends weren't facing people as they walked into the shop. When I expleined why I did it he said, very good but it must go back.
Once I'd put the gondolas back I typed my resignation letter. It was the final straw and I haven't been an employee pharmacist since!
