I used to work for one of the big four supermarket chains in the UK, and heard some amusing stories of theft.
One involved the night-shift manager at a nearby slightly larger store apparently being caught on CCTV returnijg a stolen case of vodka because there were runouts going around that the manager had figured out who stole it, so he got fired.
Another was because nobody took seriously security around money. There was meant to be two people always involved whenever money was being moved to or from the safe in the office, but a South Asian colleague who was a team leader (again in another store) took advantage of that not happening and stole a 5 figure sum, the day’s takings, and apparently managed to flee back home before the theft was discovered.
The latter is why policy needs to be followed all the time. Theft, even if small things, is not something that should be taken lightly, because someone else who doesn’t have qualms about taking larger or more expensive items is going to take notice of lax adherence and quite possibly take advantage.
