Everyone of these talks stressed that employee internal theft is bigger than customer theft on the whole.
So managment steals the most, followed by the rest of the employees.
This was in the 90's so things might have changed.
Different entities gave the talks.
I don't doubt that 800k number, but I wouldn't rule out the reoresenative of Milwaukee, or the closing managers, or security guards themselfs.
Everytme I was told about employees theft, they said it's retail security's big secret.
Personally, if they treated employees better, internal theft might come down!
When I go into HD, and am being filmed at least 10-15 times before leaving the store; their us a part of me that feels like not paying for that M8 bolt.
