It seems I am finding all sorts of stuff let on the shelves, open cans of beer, half-eaten sandwiches, open bottles of water, etc. It's out of control in my store!

 Apparently a lot. But I guess they are going to start cracking down on it a bit more in my store as we're supposed to get in a LP officer that stops in for about 3 days a week. Should prove interesting to see what he does and doesn't catch.

 Just one LP officer? During our busy hours, our store has a whole team of LP running around. A couple uniform guards and some undercovers in the LP office who occasionally pretend shop.

Isn't it 11% or something ridiculous like that?

I think we have one or two LP guys once or twice a month.  It's stupid.

About all they really do is hassle employees at my store.  They'll sit in the breakroom and demand receipts.  Or, they'll write up every cashier who doesn't ask every single customer about BOB items whether there's BOB items or not (turns out that's every cashier).

If for some reason they wanted to catch shoplifters, it would be so easy.  Pretty much everyone with a backpack steals, and some of the homeless load up like you wouldn't believe.  Rolling luggage, even.  It's downright impressive.  If they stopped by after dark (they don't), they could probably bag a dozen shoplifters a night without even trying.

They might catch a drug needle to the face, though, and we can't have that.

"You didn't ask if he had a BOB item."

"That's because didn't have a BOB item."

"So?  **** you; here's a writeup."

"You see that homeless guy with three backpacks and a cooler in his cart? The one with the stealing jacket that clinks when he walks?  The one with the cart that's been mysteriously emptying for two hours?  He looks like he's about to leave the store."

"HOLY ****, DO YOU HAVE A RECEIPT FOR THAT WATER BOTTLE?!?  WHERE THE **** IS YOUR "PAID" STICKER?!"
