“But the retail industry’s own figures on shrink cast doubt on their claim that the problem is ballooning. Researchers say retailers may be blaming theft for losses when they don’t actually know the cause.” Translation: We fired everyone that actually knew why we were losing money.

Bingo. The theft excuse is old, tired, and largely bullshit.

I would say that over 50% of our store’s shrink is “damaged in shipping” because the Distribution Center is dedicated to maximizing the amount of crap that can go in a truck with no consideration of the differing durability of products. (Direct-from-vendor shipments are palletized and less damaged.)
