If margin is idk 30% then losing 3 sales to prevent 1 stolen item loses you money, assuming you account for the stolen item at what you paid for it rather than the selling price (which makes sense unless you expect it to sell out, i guess you can add a bit for storage+set up cost but that’ll be near nothing for a single item).
*next store has the same locked cage because they too don’t want their $200 items stolen*
From the store’s pov shit being stolen is worse than it taking a bit longer to sell
the item doesn’t take time to sell. the item takes time to restock. you gotta think like a manager. where are the cost centers.
Item not being sold -> don’t have to restock. Win-win
corporate keeps fuckin sending these damn crates tho
That really depends on how much is stolen.
