    Default What Are the Qualifications to Be a Loss Prevention Person

    I have seen some that look 16 with pimples and chewing gum and they were dead giveaways the way they were acting. I once told one, "look, I am not going to steal anything. go bother someone else" and they looked shocked and took off. (in New York) Also went to a store manager to complain that 'some guy dressed in black is following me around the store' and he said "he is loss prevention, I will have to tell him to be a little more discreet".

    ever think the one guy you caught watching you was a decoy so as he left you alone you did not see the other 4 guys watching you?

    while I suspect LP guys get a kick out of catching the bad guys, since the ultimate intent is to prevent loss, sometimes a word to a possible shoplifter is enough to get them to realize it is not a smart action.
