- toomanybeersies 8y agoAnecdotally I'd say that customer theft is the bigger culprit. A lot of shops require that a manager checks the employees' bags before they leave at the end of their shift to ensure that they haven't pilfered anything.

- Spooky23 8y agoEmployee shrink consists of all sorts of stuff... theft, pilferage, spoilage, fraudulent transactions, etc. It can be as minor as giving an employee two cups for hot coffee or as serious as fraudulent receiving or running two cash tills.
- dsnuh 8y agoI understand that. I wasn't asking for an explanation of what it was, just asking for data since I found it surprising.
