Having recently perused the loss prevention stuff in iLearn (it's masochism, don't judge me) it feels a lot more like the company has more of an interest in preventing internal loss than external. But this doesn't make sense to me. I worked loss prevention at several previous jobs and actual internal theft was usually more drip fed, meaning that employees stealing or otherwise causing shrink were able to do it a little bit at a time by abusing their access rather than emptying a till or stealing a deposit, though those things did happen on a much less frequent basis than external loss. I think corporate LP is more concerned with infrequent single incidents of big number losses than the "death by thousand cuts" of daily external loss.

External loss may only be 20-50 dollars on the high end per incident, but if it happens 10+ times per day that addition is a lot higher in the span of a week than if a manager emptied a deposit or even a whole safe. Company policy, though encourages us to just allow a constant stream of daily loss rather than do anything to properly prevent it. A lot of dollar tree locations have security and there are more door guys being hired all the time. Go all in. Contract the security companies to stay at high loss stores from open to close. Put door guys in those stores since even just visible if impotent security is better than none at all. Shoplifting rings operate all across the country and most police departments have teams for that, work with them to arrange undercover stings in those high shrink stores.

As is, our LP policies are half hearted and limp wristed at a ground level. It may work up higher, I'm not a corpo employee, but I do see the daily beat at this store every single day.

These motherfuckers are wildly disrespectful then berate employees for not putting up with it.

You know how there's always been that discussion in society about mandatory national service? After having worked here almost a year, I think it shouldn't be national service it should be retail work. Once a decade, everyone has to work a customer facing retail job for at minimum six months. Maybe that'll break some of these fuckers of their complete inability to treat underpaid and overworked employees like literal shit.

I had a devious idea for an Archer last night. Paint LRM tubes on the doors that cover the missile bays. When something get close that isn't friendly, like skirmishers or a flanking unit, the doors open to reveal stacked pulse lasers of the medium and small flavors.

I get why declaring games that are set in the "past" of Battletech as apocryphal makes sense and reduces headaches from a writer's perspective, but that doesn't make it any less unsatisfying to know that putting Precentor Yamada and Black Inferno into the ground with extreme prejudice is completely non canon.

A lady got mugged in the parking lot of Walmart at 65th and Stockton but the police didn't respond to her 911 call for nearly two hours. Shame on them.

Okay this is a long shot, shot into the pitch darkness of hell at night kind of request.

How much would a commission for a mod to get a Touro from Brigador into MechWarrior 5 cost? The Touro is the poster child mech of Brigador and features heavily in just about all of its advertising. It's a fairly clunky, very industrial looking mech that does legitimately fit nicely into the art style of Battletech. It's even got some cool bits about it like being able to crouch down and overlap the leg armor to better protect itself.
