Why?
As thunderstruck as you may be, employees keeping discarded receipts to, later on, take those products home is not that thin on the ground. Here are other examples of things dishonest employees can do:
✓ A cashier in a grocery store "accidentally" damages boxes and cans so she can buy them at reduced prices.
✓ A maintenance worker stashes calculators and typewriters in trash bins.
Watch for the following signs:
✓ Stock shortages increase in frequency or size.
✓ Business patterns change when a certain employee is absent.
✓ Customers complain about errors in monthly statements.
✓ Employees seem sensitive to routine questions about procedures.
In case of suspicious behaviors, it is important to remind employees of the company's policies. In case warnings don't do the job, incorporating some unexpected inventory checks and cashier audits might keep dishonest employees on the line.
They don't want to run the risk of being caught red-handed.
