    You shouldnt ever try to protect the cash register at your place of work. They give 0 fucks about you and will have a job posting up before your body is cold.

      Fact but it does not negate that physically present employees deters some crime.

      High traffic grocery stores who put in self check outs are staffing several guards now and put in some clown fences and gates…

      But hey guy who put in self check and guy fired cashiers both got bonus…

      Guy hiring security and putting fences also got bonus. These clowns will pay anyone any amount of money as long they don’t pay the worker for the actual job.

      I remember working in a store and a guy walked through the scanner at the door and it went off, the other employee looked at me and was like “that guy stole something, hey?” And I was just like “yep” and we went back to whatever we were doing lol

        the scanner at the door and it went off

        Every time in my life I’ve ever seen a door scanner go off, it’s been a false positive.

        I’m not saying that they can’t give good results too, just saying that I’m surprised that store’s employees didn’t just unplug them after the third time it happened.

      Can confirm, if they give any appearance of being human, even for years on end, it’s a lie, they are complete psychopaths and will throw you into the fire not even to save themselves, just to feel slightly less insecure.

      Retail jobs will tell you this too as they want as little liability as possible.

      Plus the registers only usually have a couple hundred bucks max at one time.
