You may have noticed that more and more retail shops have merchandise under lock-&-key and security guards manning the door. A shoplifting epidemic that began as random smash-and-grabs, has now morphed into organized retail crime that is sweeping the nation. According to the National Retail Federation, retail theft is an estimated $100 billion problem, and growing. The challenge, how to fight organized retail crime while keeping consumers and employees safe.
In an effort to stop sales associates from escalating shoplifting instances to violent and potentially fatal situations, the Senate passed SB 553 which prohibits retailers from requiring staff to confront shoplifters. The Bill requires that all employers regardless of size meet workplace violence standards that are even more aggressive than those applied to hospitals. Although many retailers have strict anti-confrontation policies already in place, SB 553 will require employers to provide active shooter training, maintain logs of violent encounters, and manage workplace violence restraining orders.
In the very near future, these retail innovations may become the norm according to the National Retail Federation’s “10 ideas worth stealing in 2023:”
+Co-tenancy of big box retail stores, with a focus on unexpected partnerships and stimulating experiences.
+The rise of Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) for self-checkout, warehousing, and supply chain management.
+Transforming “toss-aways” into products and tripling down on sustainability and “forever products.”
+Debit card incentives that reward shoppers for paying now by giving same store discounts later.
