Considering Security
When
retail stores merchandise their goods they will take into account the risk of
stock being stolen from display shelves ("shoplifting"). This is
especially true of self-service stores where there is less personal supervision
of customers’ activity.
Goods at Risk
Those
goods that are most at risk are:
High
value goods
Small
or slim packs
Potentially
addictive products
A
combination of any two or three of the above would mean that the product in
question is at a very high risk of being stolen.
Reducing Temptation
Retail
stores usually merchandise the at-risk products away from exit doors to reduce
temptation and improve the chances of identifying or apprehending the thief.
Very high-risk products are often sold over a counter. For many of these
products there may already be statutes that require that they be sold this way.
Securing Products
Some products may be alarmed or even wired or bolted to the display in order to prevent theft.
