I Advice - New Wal-Mart Theft Policy Helps Provide An Unexpected Perk For Its Minimum Wage Employees
Why do advertisements fail? The answer’s not what you might think. The most common cause of failure in both advertisement and marketing campaigns is that the company’s USP is either weak or non-existent.What is a U
Of course, I'm exaggerating; most shoppers are ethical and wouldn't steal, no matter what the store's theft policy is. Stealing doesn't pay, kids.
<Before sticking your head into one of the many consignment thrift shops around, there are some words and phrases that can be good to have defined. Many times people are confused by terms such as consignment, thrift and re
Wal-Mart recently announced that it is changing its zero-tolerance rule when it comes to theft. Previously, Wal-Mart would prosecute anybody caught stealing from one of its stores - even if it was just a pack of gum. But, the zero-tolerance theft rule has now changed. Henceforth, prosecution happens only if an item stolen is worth $25 or more.
It's all about economics. According to a J.P. Suarez, who is in charge of asset protection at the department store, "it was no longer efficient to prosecute petty shoplifters. If I have somebody being paid $12 an hour processing a $5 theft, I have just lost money. I have also lost the time to catch somebody stealing $100 or an organized group stealing $3,000."
This raises the question, Should Wal-Mart be publicizing this new rule? Isn't this like publicizing that anything in the store priced under $25 is free? Perhaps that's why there are so many smiley faces pasted all over billboards in the store. Free equals happy! Happy shoppers can now feel free to steal items valued under $25 without fear of reprimand. I can just see some of them waiting, anxiously, for a sale to see that item that that they’d been watching drop in price, from $25.99 to $24.99.

On the other hand, I'm sure all Wal-Mart employees, by now, are well aware of the new theft rule. I'm just afraid that some will consider it a company perk, a way to supplement their minimum wage income – Steal from thy employer, as long as said stolen item is priced at $24.99 or less.
