Your manager will not appreciate this.

They hate that. :) Do not tell cashiers that cash-checking pens are a total scam, just to see the “deer in the headlights” look that this generates when they realize they’re required to perform a meaningless action that won’t protect them from being caught taking counterfeits.

I saw this link when I was online from Windows Live Messenger. I work in a grocery store in Canada. One thing that wouldn't apply in my country is the bits regarding alcohol because it has to be sold in actual liquor stores. Drinking ages vary by provinces ... where I am you have to be 19. My pay is awful. My union got a new contract this summer, and my pay was increased only by one $1. I have to work over a 100 more hours to get more cents. Then wait until April or something to hope for more. Hello there! I saw this link when I was online from Windows Live Messenger.

I'll add a few from my time as a security officer for Shop N' Save (Better known to it's employees as Slop And Slave) 1. When Apprehending a shoplifter stealing alcohol, never encourage then to hit you with the bottle. 2. Even if you are looking for a fight. 3. If there are no customers (read witnesses) around, then it is sorta ok, as long as Shop N' Save doesn't have to pay the medical bill. 4. Even if you are feeling nice, don't count down from five before spraying a shoplifter with pepper spray/tear gas. 5. It is NOT ok to kick a shoplifter after you have knock him out cold. 5b. Even if he did break two of your fingers. 5c. Especially if you are in plain view of a camera. 6. Being the only white guy in a store, including the customers, and apprehending a black shoplifter automatically makes you a racist. 7. NEVER jump in a moving vehicle to apprehend a shoplifter. 7b. Even if it did work out in the end and you saved the company several thousand dollars. 8. Putting pepper spray/tear gas in a rude/drunk customers vehicles AC vent, during a hot summer day, isn't funny. 8b. It fucking hillarious! 8c. But only if you aren't caught by said customer (I wasn't) 9. When throwing a shoplifter (i.e. he is "resisting" and you have him by collar and belt) do not aim for the side of the building. 9b. Aim for the softest landing place you can. 9c. Only if the side of the building is softest can you aim for the side of a building. 10. Double foot drop kicking a 6'9" tall 290 pound weight lifter will only make them mad. 10b. Sucker punching said weight lifter in the groin is unneccissary too. Even if it works. 11. When catching associates stealing, try not to catch all the store associates except the store manager in less than 3 weeks time. It takes time to hire new people and train them. and finally... 12. If you do find yourself in a fight and need to use your pepper spray/tear gas, try not to hit your partner and area sergent in the same blast. 12b. Do not use the spray can after it is empty as a hand brace (roll of quarters style) to make your punches more effective. Especially if the reason you need to throw punches is because your sergent and partner were affected by the spray and the shoplifter wasn't.
