<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 547658, member: 16994"]Theft is always a problem at any retail establishment... Some previous posts have made good points about coins being small and easy to pocket. This is very true. I have had several shoplifters here that I have personally caught in the act. It's an inevitable part of any retail establishment. You can only be watchful and observant. As for the dealers that say "watch him" or something along those lines that is silly, we watch EVERYONE. If its a first time customer or a 20 year regular we have rules that apply to everyone. We only allow one tray of coins out at any time. If someone else is looking at a tray of coins and you want to see something I politely inform them that it is our policy to not have more then one tray out at a time and I'll be right with them. It's when you start treating one person differently from another that you run into things like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Times are tough, people are getting desperate. In times like these you can do nothing but be vigilant and on your guard. I for one will not compromise my safety or my inventory not to offend someone, tho I try hard as I can to be polite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
