Lowe's Approach to Retail Theft

Lowe's CEO claims that hiring enough service workers, paying them well, and training them well are key to keeping retail theft rate low. In contrast to other big box stores such as Walmart and Home Depot, Lowe's theft rate is lower.
That article in part prompted me to wonder if perhaps some of retail theft incidents may be "inside jobs", that of some workers swiping merchandise from the employers.

That, and it's pretty tough to walk out the door with a 2x4x8 in your pocket...

Yeah, that’s one way to completely misinterpret the statement. Walmart has high retail theft because of their employees, and they are only stealing because the company doesn’t pay enough… That’s definitely a way to see what you want and ignore the obvious.

Oops, looks like Lowe’s needs to pay these guys more… And train them a little better
Dumb to steal.
Dumb to pick a mower with a bagging system.
Dumb to steal a Crapsman.The easiest way to load a rider like that is two guys on front, load the front wheels on the tailgate, then both guys on back to load the rest of the mower. That front most likely has a cast iron front axle and 20hp+ engine. Heavy.
