That sounds like poor management to me as much as dishonest employees.
As
for places like Wal-Mart - that wouldn't apply. They are not the ones
who
order the pond and garden merchandise for the stores.

But the employees are the ones who can make sure merchandise doesn't
sell by hiding price tags, putting it in poor locations where no one
sees it, bad mouthing things they don't want to sell, leaving it in the
stock room or storage trailer, etc.

Walmart doesn't have a stockroom. Managers, if doing their job, make sure
the
merchandise is in the proper display in it's proper place. (Entire stores
are
plan-o-grammed) They're not on commission and most are eligable for either
welfare, food stamps or both. Store security and cameras are there not so
much
to deter customer theft, but employee theft. When such radical measures
are
needed by the worlds largest and most profitable corporation against it's
own
employees one has to wonder why.
==================================
Allow me to guess. They pay them PEANUTS! They give them no benefits and
they work abominable hours plus most weekends. They're not appreciated and
they know it. I can't think of a worse place to work than one of these
discount stores. Maybe if they paid a living wage there wouldn't be so much
theft.

The turnover at our local Wal-Mart is constant. You seldom see the same
face more than twice.
