Shoplifting: Discussion
Mr. Michael O'Driscoll:
People also set the retailers up. I had one incident last week where two people came in and got roll and a drink. They put the drink and the roll on a till that was not in use and they went over and talked to somebody in the shop. Another person came in off the street, picked up the roll and the drink and paid for it. On the way out, the person handed the roll to the people who had ordered originally. My staff behind the till were watching and they saw them walking out. It was a busy moment. They saw them walking out and they said to the manager they did not pay for the roll. They did not realise that somebody else had picked up the roll and paid for it. My approach is that we do not stop people unless we are-----
