If this is the case, then why is it that companies that do not have LP tend to have similar shrink results as companies with LP?
Also, why is it that when a company just throws more bodies at shrink (i.e. Home Depot, Limited, Gap, etc.) their shrink does not drop that dramatically? In theory, if we are doing a good job, then if there were twice as many of us, our shrink should be cut in half, or at least by a very large percentage. The reality is that when times get tough, LP staffing goes down, and shrink does not go up that dramatically. Industry shrink has been in the 1.7% - 2.0% shrink range forever.
Where is the impact?
