I was talking to a colleague in another district and he informed me of something which I thought was interesting and really could not think of an answer for him.
Recently, his boss told him that all external apprehensions were to be suspended (not allowed at all and any agent made an external apprehension, they were to be written up). The stats for the store are 1 internal app and 140 externals. The boss said that until they got 2 more internal apps, they were not allowed externals.
To me, this is the stupidest thing I have heard in retail LP. 90% of the agents job is to catch shoplifters. For them to ignore that is ludicrous. For them to be written up will just cause them to quit and find another LP job.
What do you think of this idea and situation as a whole? What would you say to the boss? I am just glad I don't work for that guy.
