I got to see some chilling video footage on Monday of an employee stealing from the back office of a business run by a newsagent. You can see the employee check that the coast is clear before she reaches for a bundle of $50 notes and stuffs them into her bra. She then grabs $20s and $10s. Of course, with the video evidence there was no doubt a successful conviction.
Too many newsagents say this will not happen to them. They cite employee loyalty, good cash handling processes or that they are in a town where everyone knows everyone else.
We are all at risk and we need to run our businesses accordingly.
Employee theft is real. I estimate that it costs the newsagency channel at least $15 million a year.
Having caught and sacked a young employee earlier this year with CCTV and scanning evidence I have to agree. And would add that if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone. We all have cash and stock and that makes us vunerable.
