I just started work as a cashier at our local Barnes and Noble about 2 weeks ago and had a questionLately we`ve been having alot of books being stolen and in an attempt to try to help, I want to understand HOW the people who steal actually do itI mean, we have the bar code detector machines at the entrance doors and to the bathrooms so wouldn`t the price bar code set it off? And we have cameras (or at least I think we doCan`t really tell since the newest tech often looks like smoke detectors.^^ guess that`s the point).And I never see anyone shoving books into backpacks or purses so I don`t know how they just walk out without paying without anyone noticing.I know our store has tried putting barcode tags INSIDE the pages and all but that doesn`t seem to work either.How are people getting away with this?
I have worked in retail for over 20 years, this is how they do itif they have a bag that is lined with aluminum foil, that desensitized the security tagor if they walk through the security bars if they walk quickly enough it will NOT set offSome times they even pass the item around the security thing so it doesn't go off.the problem with the book store is that there are so many blind spots it would be a snap to rip that store offI have seen people peel off the tag and eat it or put the tag in under the carpet in a hidden spotBarns and Nobel needs to revamp there security measures.Plus it doesn't help when you put a massive amounts of books so close to the front doors, and the cashiers desk is so far away and the cashiers desk is loaded with stuff.
You don't.and no they don't exist.while pregnant a woman's baby can go up into her ribs and cause pain in the ribs,but that's as far as that goes.
