I seen this with my own eyes.
Security at the door is a scare tacit.
Also BEST BUY POLICY is they have to see you from start to end to even accuse you of stealing. Meaning they have to watch you by camera walking through the door and exiting the door. if the camera miss anything or if you duck off to the bathroom then they cannot do anything
Best buy is very lax when it comes to stealing. I never knew why. Anybody could go in their and just walk out with items and security cannot do anything.
dude i worked at best buy for 3 years and saw plenty of people tackled or snatched up my management and security and arrested. Best Buy defintately prosecuted EVERY theft i saw unless it was a child.
i have a ton of other stories about theft though it happened all too often with kids Don't listen to this guy.
i remember one poor kid tried to steal grand theft auto 3 and run from the media section to the front door....
security turned off the automatic door just as the kid was running and he ran face first into that door and was out cold.
his little brother was crying and the parents came to pick em up.
another time a woman tried to stuff DVDs in her pants
it was disgusting,
they took her in the security office and she took out like 15 movies
police arrested her.
another time a cashier i worked with was illegally taking imprints of customers credit cards telling them the machine didnt work and she NEEDED to do it
she was busted after christmas and they walked her through every department to make an example out of her
I will say that internal theft was a huge problem. At one point our ENTIRE warehouse was busted for theft after this one time we found a mitsubishi TV box filled with empty ipod playstation dvd video game and dvd player boxes.
This have to had been yeaaaaars ago because know Best Buy has changed their policies, maybe because of bad press, being sued whatever who knows but i know the BEST BUY here and others in area do not chase down people or touch them, agasint company policy.
Yea some people do get arrested if they stop and let best buy hold them, I have seen that
My cousin was LP , Lost prevention, tryst me I'm not lying and i saw it first hand,
My cousin almost got fired for running after a kid who stole a dvd.
Another note a employee stole 2 high end cameras and the management knew he did it but because he brought in so much business mostly arabs who buy alot, they turned their heads.
