Absolutely. I just find it a bit…much when they try to label this as a means to protect staff when everything they do signals that isn’t their main motive.
Gotcha. I understand your point of view, I just think maybe they can do both? Protect their liability against being sued for safety on the workplace and at the same time reduce the risk of their employees getting hurt.
Yeah that’s all we ask. I understand why they want to ensure products aren’t being stolen, but I also feel like they could be doing significantly more to ensure colleagues aren’t being intimidated and assaulted.
Of course, the best way for staff to feel safer is if customers stopped being absolutely dickheads, but we seem to be going on the wrong way on that front.
Sorry, I’m being dense this Sunday. How does this protect profit? Surely fitting employees with body cams eats into your profit as it is a cost?
Customers are significantly less likely to try and pocket something if there’s a risk of them being called up on it, or actually caught on camera.
Even if they never actually catch anyone, the fact that people can see the cameras would likely serve as a deterrent.
Is that not a good thing? Less chance of criminal activity, less chance of getting stabbed whilst stacking shelves?

Oh man, I can imagine. I don’t understand what goes through some people’s heads.
