I wonder why they don't just warehouse the stock, leave demo models on the floor and only get out the real one once you've paid for it.
A couple of staff to power this has got to be cheaper than $700kpa in high value theft.
But I also would have thought it'd be comically easy to surveil the power tool area and see who comes in lots but never seems to buy a power tool.

But then, I get the impression that supermarkets are saving on staff by using self-checkout, at the risk of increased casual theft. Would be nice to see more jobs rather than more insurance pay-outs though.
