Prosegur Security Launches New DoubleLock EAS Tag, Shown to Reduce Tag Defeats
by up to 60%
 Prosegur
Security, a global leader in security technology, has launched
DoubleLock, an innovative new EAS tag, which in two separate use cases
reduced the number of tag defeats by 40% and 60% respectively.
To store associates, DoubleLock tags and detachers look and operate the same way
as the ones they are used to, meaning that no additional training is necessary.
Additionally, DoubleLock detachers are backward-compatible - they work with all
the popular EAS tags that use hook-only detaching mechanism. This enables
retailers to gradually introduce them in higher-shrink store without having to
replace all the tags and equipment already deployed. Additionally, the
DoubleLock product suite is available in AM, RF, or RFID and in any color.

Doyle Talks --- Theft Survey & Shrink Results
Annual Retail Theft Survey: We were thinking of possibly not doing our annual
survey this year due to many business disruptions in 2020. However, we have been
receiving requests as retailers want to see how their numbers compare with the
industry overall. Therefore, we are in the process of gathering statistics for
our 33rd Annual Retail Theft Survey. Participants are never identified,
information provided is strictly confidential, and always grouped for reporting
purposes. Participants also receive additional statistics/results that are not

Protests & Violence
Convenience Store Camera Footage Becomes
Center of the Case
Graphic footage puts emotional charge into Day 3 of Chauvin trial
 The
third day in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who's
charged with the murder of George Floyd, featured new footage from inside the
convenience store that's at the center of the case as well as emotional
testimony later in the day.
Gripping testimony has been a mainstay during the trial's first three days,
mostly centering around recollections given by eyewitnesses who watched Chauvin
kneel on Floyd's neck for roughly nine minutes before Floyd's death.
Graphic cellphone footage of the fatal arrest, which was recorded by multiple
bystanders who have testified, has also been a constant.
Cup Foods
The morning revolved around footage from Cup Foods, the Minneapolis convenience
store on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue where Floyd was put into
custody by police.
It was the jury's first glimpse at the events that led to the police being
called to the intersection and ultimately to Floyd's death.
Right away, Martin, the cashier taking Floyd's money, said he could tell that
there was something off about the $20 bill that Floyd used to pay.
On two different occasions, Martin and his co-workers approached Floyd's vehicle
across the street in an attempt to get Floyd or one of the two other passengers
in the car to come back into the store and use real money but to no avail.
Martin said that he told his manager he was willing to pay for the fake $20 bill
from his own paycheck after he approached Floyd's vehicle the first time, noting
that the store makes employees pay for counterfeit bills that they accept from
customers. However, his manager insisted that Martin return to Floyd's vehicle a
second time.
After Martin's unsuccessful second attempt, Cup Foods called the police.
Body cam footage of Floyd's arrest from Chauvin and the three other former
officers who were on the scene was played during Minneapolis police officer Lt.
James Rugel's testimony, who manages the department's software systems and
technology, including body cameras.
However, Chauvin's cam ended up under the squad car before he started kneeling
on Floyd, something that Schleicher pointed out and Rugel confirmed.

Third Mass Shooting in U.S. in Two Weeks
4 killed, including child, in mass shooting at Orange office complex
Four people, including a child, were killed Wednesday evening and a fifth person
was injured in a mass shooting at an Orange office complex.
It marks the third mass shooting in the United States in two weeks, coming after
incidents at three Atlanta spas that killed eight people, including six Asian
women, and at a Boulder, Colo., supermarket that killed 10.
Officers received a call about 5:30 p.m. of shots fired and responded to a
business at 202 W. Lincoln Ave. in Orange. The beige, two-story office complex
at the address contains a number of small businesses.
The officers encountered gunfire when they arrived and opened fire, Amat said.
The shooter was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound and was listed in
critical condition Wednesday night. It was unclear if the wound was
self-inflicted or if he was struck by police gunfire, Amat said.
The complex is home to about a dozen businesses, including an insurance office,
a marriage therapist, a speech and language pathologist, a phone repair shop and
several property management companies.
Police plan a press conference for 10 a.m. Thursday.

Hate Crime Attack in NYC
Man accused of Midtown hate attack ordered held without bail
 The
assailant accused of beating an Asian woman to the ground and kicking her in the
head while onlookers did nothing was remanded Wednesday night at his arraignment
in Manhattan Criminal Court.
"The victim was on her way to church when the defendant approached her on the
street, cursed at her, told her she didn't belong here, called her an Asian
something ... and kicked her in the chest, knocking her to the ground and
proceeded to stomp on her head. ... The victim was taken to the hospital
for a fracture to the pelvis and contusions to the head and body. She was
hospitalized for over a day."
Elliot allegedly sneered, "f-k you, you don't belong here, you Asian," as
he mercilessly beat her on the Midtown sidewalk, prosecutors said.

New FMI Report Finds Grocers Invested $24 Billion To Meet Increased Consumer
Demands And Operate Safely Amid Covid-19
"Receipts from the Pandemic" Offers First Comprehensive Analysis of Food
Retail Industry's Response to Pandemic and the Industry's Essential Role in
Keeping Americans Fed During the Crisis
 FMI-The
Food Industry Association today released a new report,
Receipts from the Pandemic: Grocery Store Investments Amid COVID-19 and the
Resulting Economics of an Essential Industry, sharing that the food
retail industry invested $24 billion in response to the dramatic changes in
Americans' shopping and food consumption habits amid the pandemic. Grocers'
actions included significant safety, workforce and technology investments that
have enabled food retailers to safely keep their stores operating, thereby
serving communities during the public health crisis.
"We all remember the uncertainty and anxiety that defined the initial weeks of
the pandemic, as virtually every aspect of our daily lives changed seemingly
overnight," said Leslie G. Sarasin, president and CEO of FMI.
Overall Costs
As food retailers responded to the dramatic changes in consumer behavior brought
on by the pandemic and economic restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the
COVID-19 virus, retailers made significant operational changes to maintain safe
environments for employees and customers and to comply with relevant state and
local pandemic-related regulations.
This report, based on a survey of 52 FMI member companies representing almost
40% of the food retailing industry, offers the first comprehensive overview of
those changes and a cost analysis of the actions taken by food retailers to
safely keep stores open throughout the pandemic. Overall, the report found that
food retailers have spent approximately $24 billion on additional
pandemic-related expenses since March 2020. These investments include:
●
Increases in payroll and incentive pay: $12 billion.
●
Increases in benefits: $5 billion.
●
Non-monetary benefits and vaccine incentives: $1 billion.
●
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other safety expenses: $1 billion.
●
Cleaning and sanitation supplies, labor, and other related expenses: $3
billion.
●
Technology and online delivery expenses: $1.5 billion.
Safety Investments
According to the data, food retailers spent more than $1 billion on PPE and
other safety expenses, such as store signage, COVID-19 tests, and thermometers,
and an additional $2 billion on increased cleaning and sanitation hires
or use of external partners for this purpose, and more than $400 million on
cleaning and sanitization products. Food retailers also invested in new
technologies and infrastructure, such as online ordering and curbside pickup
services, to meet new consumer demands and the needs of those unable to safely
shop in stores.

$1 Trillion Stolen in 2020 Due to Cybercrime
Fraud picks up as the economy goes digital during the pandemic, studies find
●
As internet traffic surged about 60%, money spent by online shoppers nearly
doubled. The average value of attempted fraudulent purchases increased 69%
year-over-year, according to
a recent report from the digital fraud prevention company, Sift.
●
Mobile shopping reached $284 billion in spending, equal to nearly 45% of all
U.S. e-commerce sales. Nearly, 62% of attempted payment fraud attacks came
from mobile devices in 2020 compared to 51% in 2019, the Sift report stated.
●
Consumers and businesses alike faced the deceit of fraudsters. Nearly 70% of
executives surveyed said that increased fraud attempts had a major impact on
their operations while 68% of executives said that remote working limited
their ability to prevent fraud within their organization, according to separate
research from the
credit analytics firm FICO.
&uuid=(email))
More than $1 trillion was stolen in 2020 due to
cybercrime, according to the Sift report. As online and digital
transactions increased due to stay-at-home orders, fraudsters had a new avenue
to exploit consumers.
Fraudsters targeted e-commerce, digital wallet transactions, and digital
currency transactions the most in 2020. Professional marketplace transactions
saw a 66% increase in fraud attempts with a 20% rise in average order value
whereas digital wallet transactions experienced a 33% increase with a 9% jump in
average order value,
according to the March Sift report.
In 2020, loyalty merchant programs saw a 275% increase in fraud attempts
while neobanks saw a 60% increase. Sift recently
partnered with McDonald's to provide digital protection to McDonald's app
when customers are paying for their orders.

Digital Trust & Safety Index: Exposing the Multi-billion Dollar Fraud Economy
Workplace Safety: Best Practice, Compliance, and Trust in the New Normal
How can employers reopen safely amidst increasing OSHA regulation and employee
mistrust in workplace safety? Emerging technology can help.
Amidst renewed urgency for reopening, employers confront two major issues - the
proverbial regulatory hammer dropping and an alarming crisis of confidence in
workplace safety. Emerging safety technologies can provide a major boost on both
fronts.
As employers prepare for return to work in a pandemic and post-pandemic world,
how should they navigate this complex regulatory environment and overcome the
trust deficit from employees? At risk of sounding overly simplistic, the answer
is clear: they need to create a safe workplace based on best practice and
regulation, and they need to communicate to employees with consistent, high
quality, and reliable information.

Mexico ranks No. 2 in COVID fatalities with over 320,000
Vaccine Tourism is Legal in U.S. - No Proof of
Citizenship Needed
With Mexico's vaccination program lagging, wealthy Mexicans are flocking
to the U.S.
Mexico's vaccine rollout has been
painfully slow, with just 4% of the nation's 128 million citizens having
received at least one dose. Healthcare analysts say that the original target of
vaccinating at least two-thirds of the population by August is a fantasy, and
that inoculation efforts will stretch well into next year.
Now many of those with means are flocking to the United States for shots.
Last week, the government here publicly
confirmed what many had long suspected: The number of people lost to the
pandemic is more than 320,000, much higher than totals previously reported.
The "excess death" data suggest that Mexico ranks No. 2 in COVID fatalities,
behind the U.S., which has recorded more than 550,900 deaths, according to Johns
Hopkins University.
Health officials say vaccine tourism is legal. Only about half of U.S.
states require proof of residency for vaccinations, and none insist patients
show proof of citizenship. Still, the issue has sparked controversy in
some American communities where Mexicans have been turning up in large
numbers.

Pandemic Impact on U.S. Consumers May Be Permanent
Intense and ongoing anxiety in the U.S. - With
Mental Health the Top Concern
U.S. has the highest percentages of the most anxious consumers worldwide
Even as an end to the pandemic seems possible, it's leaving its mark on
consumers worldwide, with nearly half saying they've changed their buying habits
due to ongoing financial and health-related anxiety, according to a survey of
7,000 consumers conducted by consulting firm AlixPartners. In the U.S., 43% say
so.
The U.S. has the highest percentages of what AlixPartners found to be the most
anxious consumers, with 44% "highly concerned about both health and finances."
This group is "experiencing both the most significant and the most permanent
changes in purchasing behavior,"
The worry extends to other issues, as 80% of consumers globally say they're more
concerned about the environment, and 38% say that now affects their buying
decisions.
AlixPartners researchers said they were surprised at the extreme levels of
anxiety still endured by some, prompted by economic struggles and worries about
both physical and mental well-being.
Across the globe, AlixPartners found young people to be especially vulnerable,
with 34% of those ages 18 to 24 reporting that they are "extremely" or "very"
concerned about mental health, 35% that are concerned about their finances
and 26% that are concerned about their physical health. Among those 25 to 34
years old, 30% are "extremely" or "very" concerned about mental health, 32%
about their finances and 24% about their physical health.
Even if some consumers do revert back to their previous habits to some extent,
it's meaningful that these intentions and attitudes are being expressed so
strongly by so many, he said.
retaildive.com
Editor's Note: Is this a warning of things to come possibly. About how
the 18 to 34 year old consumer is going to react to stress or volatile
situations in stores? It certainly matches the increased aggressive behavior
we've seen in stores. To have such a large group expressing their concerns about
mental health is surprising and something we've never seen in the news or
reported on. Just a thought - Gus Downing
Best Buy sets up its associates to test themselves for COVID-19
Best Buy is now offering at-home COVID-19 tests for those workers who may have
been exposed to the virus in the chain's stores and warehouses.
The offer of home COVID-19 tests is an addition to a screening smartphone app
for the disease that Best Buy put in place early in the pandemic, reports the
Star Tribune. When an employee's answers to the app's questions
indicate a high risk of exposure, they will now be furnished with a home
COVID-19 test and will receive their usual pay while awaiting the results.
Best Buy's performance throughout the novel coronavirus pandemic has been
notably strong. Early on, the retailer was able to capitalize on an influx
of customers suddenly needing technology and gadgets to facilitate working from
home and teaching from home. It also established itself as a leader with its
operations, drawing accolades for its curbside and appointment-only shopping
experiences.
Best Buy was early to offer hazard pay as the dangers of the novel coronavirus
became known, and it raised its minimum pay rate to $15. The retailer has also
promised to give out quarterly bonuses and paid time off for employees to get
COVID-19 vaccinations.
Best Buy is not the only business to start facilitating home COVID-19
testing. DoorDash recently announced that it would begin delivering two
different types of home COVID-19 tests in some markets, according to
BBC
News.

Canada's Epstein Denied Bail - Again
Canadian judge denies bail for fashion/retail mogul Peter Nygard
 A
judge on Friday again denied bail to Canadian fashion and retail mogul Peter Nygard, who
was arrested in December on U.S. charges that alleging he sexually abused women
and girls he lured with promises of opportunities in fashion and modeling over
the last 25 years.
Peter Nygard unsuccessfully attempted to appeal an earlier ruling that denied
him bail. That means Nygard will await his extradition hearings in jail.
Nygard was arrested in December in Winnipeg and faces nine counts in the
Southern District of New York.
Authorities there accuse the 79-year-old of using his influence in the fashion
industry to lure women and girls with the promise of modelling and other
financial opportunities.
The judge who originally denied Nygard bail had cited concerns that he would
contact witnesses if released. Federal prosecutors argued that Nygard has
the finances and personnel available to assist him in obstructing justice.

Starbucks strikes deal with EEOC over alleged racial bias in promoting employees
The company said that it made a deal with the EEOC earlier this year after the
agency alleged racial discrimination in its store-level promotions, based on
data from 2007 through 2011.
As part of the agreement, Starbucks is making a number of changes to make its
promotion process more transparent and formal.
In a letter to employees, CEO Kevin Johnson said that Starbucks does not know
what prompted the EEOC allegations and that the company's analysis of its own
data did not show systemic discrimination in store-level promotions.
"The agreement is not only the right thing for partners, it has also led us to
focus more resources on structural changes necessary to support partners' career
progressions and ensure that every partner has the opportunity to learn about
promotion opportunities," Johnson wrote.

HERNDON, Va. -
Prosegur Security, a
global leader in security technology, has launched
DoubleLock, an innovative new EAS tag, which in two separate use cases
reduced the number of tag defeats by 40% and 60% respectively.
 "The
proliferation of cheap hook-style detachers easily found online means that
shoplifters can easily remove some of the most popular EAS tags on the market
that have this type of a detaching mechanism," said
Robert Simoneau, CTO of Prosegur's global retail business unit. "With the
DoubleLock system we are introducing a legacy-tag compatible detaching mechanism
that is both intuitive to use while providing a very robust level of protection
against rogue detachers, thus making illegal hook detachers useless. The first
two retailers that deployed DoubleLock saw an immediate reduction in the number
of tag defeats, providing for a relatively quick ROI. If a retailer is
experiencing the angst associated with defeated EAS hard tags then they will
find no better solution than our DoubleLock tag."
To store associates, DoubleLock tags and detachers look and operate the same way
as the ones they are used to, meaning that no additional training is necessary.
Additionally, DoubleLock detachers are backward-compatible - they work with all
the popular EAS tags that use hook-only detaching mechanism. This enables
retailers to gradually introduce them in higher-shrink store without having to
replace all the tags and equipment already deployed. Additionally, the
DoubleLock product suite is available in AM, RF, or RFID and in any color.
"Shoplifters continue to be aggressive in finding ways to defeat tagging
solutions," said
Tony
D'Onofrio, CEO of Prosegur's global retail business unit. "We are committed
to work closely with retailers to continuously innovate to attack the problem of
shrink, leverage your current EAS infrastructure where possible to minimize new
capital outlays, and design new solutions that have future-proof
multi-technology capabilities. The new DoubleLock tag is yet another example of
an innovative design, solving a specific problem that stays ahead of shoplifters
and providing quick measurable results."

ACH Fraud on the Rise & Vendor Email
Compromise (VEC) Attacks
After digital payments rush, time to tighten security
Don't be surprised if a vendor you're about to pay turns out to be
fraudulent. ACH and other types of cyber fraud surged during the pandemic.
The pandemic-driven rush in the use of automated clearing house (ACH) systems to
pay suppliers helped drive an expansive leap in the digitization of business
payments but it came at a cost: in many cases, accounts payable departments
didn't have time to secure remote networks adequately or create protocols to
ensure the secure handling of supplier bank account information.
Now that the dust has settled, it's up to CFOs and their AP teams to ensure
these safety measures are implemented, starting with the secure handling of
data.
ACH fraud,
on the rise even before the pandemic, shot up more last summer; 90%
of internal and external fraud examiners
reporting an increase in all types of cyber fraud, the Association of
Certified Fraud Examiners found.
Bank account update requests are the most common way to perpetrate ACH fraud.
According to data by Nvoicepay, for which I oversee operations and customer
success, these requests are common. Suppliers tend to change bank accounts every
four years. Most are legitimate, but your AP team should stand guard against
what fraud examiners call vendor email compromise (VEC) attacks.
In this type of attack, bad actors hack into supplier systems, monitor
invoice flow, identify a potential weak spot among the supplier's customers,
then reach out to someone in accounts payable to request a bank account update.
They often time their request just ahead of a large payment. If
successful, they route the payment to an account they've set up, only to
close it once they receive the funds.
Unfortunately, this is more common than you might think. In our own recent
experience, a client requested an urgent bank account update for a vendor they
were about to pay. When we ran the new information through our validation
process, we discovered the new bank account was fraudulent.
IT departments need to secure company networks and environments, and finance
departments need to implement stringent, repeatable processes for collecting,
validating, and storing the information.

Cyber Espionage & Crime Trends
Digital dependence and innovation: 2 critical trends in cyber espionage & crime
Most of the world and in most industries
we've reached the tipping point in our digital dependence on our IT
infrastructure and it has drawn attackers in
The first change is around the larger scope of attack. In the past you
could draw a heat-map around the most technological countries: The US, South
Korea, Japan, UK and Germany. Today we've reached the tipping point where
most countries are now dependent on IT technology to the point that heat-map
is hot white over most of the world. Same is true for industries, in the
past only certain industries were dependent on It where today most industries
are reliant on IT and their digital capabilities like never before.
&uuid=(email))
There is a positive side to this digital dependence. From the first world to the
third world, while this pandemic has caused much sorrow and an economic slump -
it hasn't buried us the way it would have if this had occurred even ten years
earlier - our ability to effectively work remotely is why. With such a digital
dependence it only makes sense that nation-state and criminal hackers would
grow and escalate in such an environment.
Digital innovation has given attackers a vicious edge
that has expanded their speed, depth and breadth like never before
The second, a far more impactful change is how digital innovation has changed
the trend dramatically. For the good guys, digital innovation has become a
critical competitive differentiator and it has led to our attack surface to
include whether by application, by network, supply-chain or through countless
as-a-service offerings a large array of interconnected entities.
Turning digital dependence and innovation back on the
attackers
If digital dependence means the current trend in attacks affects us all
globally, the most powerful takeaway is how we can better defend ourselves in an
easier and better fashion by incorporating that digital innovation that we use
in other portions of the enterprise within cybersecurity.

'Huge Uptick Trend Poised To Increase'
83% of Businesses Hit With a Firmware Attack in Past Two Years
A new Microsoft-commissioned report finds less than 30% of organizations
allocate security budget toward preventing firmware attacks.
Firmware attacks targeting enterprises are up over the past two years. However,
most victims are too preoccupied with patches and upgrades to invest resources
into preventing them.
The numbers come from Microsoft's new "Security Signals" report, conducted by
Hypothesis Group, which polled 1,000 decision-makers involved with security and
threat protection at enterprise companies. Of these, 83% had been hit with a
firmware attack in the past two years.
Firmware has become
a hot target for cybercrime in recent years as software security has
improved. The TrickBot malware last year
added a module to inspect devices for firmware vulnerabilities that could
enable attackers to read, write, or erase the UEFI/BIOS firmware. Last October,
a rare
firmware rootkit was detected targeting diplomats and nongovernmental
organizations. Russian advanced persistent threat group Sednit deployed the
first firmware-level rootkit
seen in the wild back in September 2018.

Interesting Global Attacks - You Almost Had to
Expect It
North Korea Targeting Security Researchers on Social Media
Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) today shared an update on a campaign that
has been targeting security researchers on social media and is attributed to the
North Korean government.
The campaign,
disclosed in January, targeted security researchers working on vulnerability
research and development across different organizations. Attackers created
several types of social media profiles to chat with researchers and share videos
and blogs of claimed exploits. They ultimately tried to share infected files or
trick the victims into clicking a malicious link.
In an update published yesterday, TAG reports the same attackers behind this
campaign created a new website with their associated social media profiles for a
fake company called "SecuriElite." Trying to get researchers to visit a
malicious website.

to NY
New York legalizes adult use marijuana, expunges former pot convictions
 New
York officially legalized weed Wednesday as Gov. Cuomo signed legislation
that will regulate the sale of recreational marijuana for adults and expunge the
records of people previously convicted of possession.
Legislators approved the long-stalled measure late Tuesday, sending the bill
allowing adults over 21 to use weed legally to the governor's desk.
"This is a historic day in New York - one that rights the wrongs of the
past by putting an end to harsh prison sentences, embraces an industry that will
grow the Empire State's economy, and prioritizes marginalized communities so
those that have suffered the most will be the first to reap the benefits," Cuomo
said in a statement. "I'm proud these comprehensive reforms address and balance
the social equity, safety and economic impacts of legal adult-use cannabis."
Officials say the marijuana market will eventually lead to as many as 60,000
new jobs and generate $350 million in revenue annually.

What Will Legal Cannabis Look Like in New York?
The SAFE Banking & CLAIM Acts Will Transform
Cannabis Insurance Industry
Here's What to Expect
Like the opening bell on the trading floor of the Stock Exchange, the
reintroduction in Congress last week of the long-awaited Secure and Fair
Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act and related Clarifying Law Around
 Insurance
of Marijuana (CLAIM) Act was a call to action for carriers and insurance
brokers across the country.
Together, the bills provide a legal safe harbor for providing financial and
insurance services to cannabis-related businesses. If passed, these bills
will be a game-changer for banks and insurance companies that wish to engage
with plant-touching cannabis businesses and the multitudes of ancillary service
providers that support the cannabis industry.
The SAFE Banking Act, reintroduced in 2021, was first introduced in March 2019
and has been passed by the U.S. House three times, most recently in September
2019. No Senate floor vote was allowed, however, prior to the recent change in
control of the Senate. With bipartisan support and recent endorsements by the
American Bankers Association, the Credit Union National Association and others,
prospects for passage in the Senate appear good.

Pot dispensaries are getting retail makeovers
As more states legalize recreational use, cannabis companies are taking
cues from mainstream retailers and trying to differentiate their brands with a
sharper focus on the customer experience.
Cannabis companies are joining their mainstream consumer-product peers in trying
to reinvent the shopping experience.
For Jushi Holdings Inc., that means art exhibits at its Beyond/Hello stores,
sage-and-citrus-scented candles and a desert theme to help customers feel like
they're not just in a staid dispensary. Under the direction of Andreas
Neumann, a former rock photographer who is now the company's chief creative
officer, Jushi has also relaunched its website to give shoppers a more "frictionless
experience."
"We want to create a retail scene," Neumann said in a phone conversation
last week. He compared the idea to a Starbucks Reserve or a Fred Segal,
where you can find products that other establishments don't have yet. He wants
to make the stores "a place you want to hang out and talk and meet like-minded
people."

Amazon Returning to Office-Centric Culture
Amazon expects a return to offices by fall; some workers are miffed while nearby
businesses are ecstatic
Unlike many of its tech-sector peers, Amazon is
eschewing a hybrid workplace.
The Seattle-based commerce giant told employees in a
companywide announcement that it is planning a "return to an office-centric
culture as our baseline." The transition away from remote work is expected
to wrap up by autumn, according to the announcement Tuesday. Working in offices,
the note said, "enables us to invent, collaborate, and learn together most
effectively."
Incoming Amazon CEO Andy Jassy knocked remote work in an interview with
CNBC last year, saying staying home during the pandemic made it hard to "riff
the same way" with co-workers to develop new ideas.
Among Amazon employees, reaction was mixed and at times indignant, with some
saying they would start looking for jobs elsewhere if Amazon forces them
back to the office full time. Several downtown Seattle business owners, though,
greeted the news with joy.
"Saying we absolutely cannot work remotely is Day 2 thinking," she said,
referring to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' belief that employees should behave as
if it is always Amazon's first day in business because "Day 2 is stasis ...
Followed by death."
"We have proved for the past year that we can work remotely and kick ass doing
it," she said. If Amazon doesn't reverse course on its office-centric policy,
she predicted "a mass exodus of employees"
Amazon will not require office workers to receive a COVID-19 vaccine
before they head back to their desks, but the company is encouraging employees
and contractors to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible, Amazon
spokesperson Jose Negrete said.

Amazon New CEO Won't Ever Buy Off on Remote Work
And you've got to believe that's coming straight
from the top
Incoming Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on why remote work hurts innovation: 'You don't
riff the same way'
 As
GeekWire reported earlier Wednesday, Amazon is headed back to the office
after letting people work from home for the past year.
"Our plan is to return to an office-centric culture as our baseline. We
believe it enables us to invent, collaborate, and learn together most
effectively," Amazon told employees in a memo.
Jassey said in an interview with CNBC "invention" is hard to do virtually
compared to people brainstorming together in person. "You just don't riff the
same way," he said, "so it's really changed the way that we've had to think
about how we drive innovation, and how we solicit information from our builders
and the types of meetings that we run." Jassy said invention "tends to be
sloppy."
"It's not like you can organize 45 minutes and say, 'we're going to invent this
product right now,'" he said.
"Instead, that process happens with an initial idea that evolves into something
else, with people "riffing on top of what one another says."
"They interrupt people, and they get animated, and then you finish the meeting
and you don't really quite get there, but three people leave the meeting and
start working on a whiteboard outside that conference room," Jassy said.
That process is much harder to replicate in a virtual work environment, despite
the rise and improvement of collaboration software over the past few years,
Jassy added.

Toledo, OH: Man allegedly stole $143,185 from Lowes in Michigan and Ohio
A Toledo man is accused of stealing $143,185 in merchandise from Lowes stores in
Ohio and Michigan. Marvis Keaton Jones Sr., 37, Toledo, but currently in jail,
was indicted by a Wood County grand jury on March 18. He was indicted for
robbery, a third-degree felony; burglary, a third-degree felony; three counts
theft, all fifth-degree felonies; and failure to comply with an order or signal
of a police officer, a third-degree felony. Police began investigating Jones in
2020 by working with loss prevention from Lowes and Home Depot. On Feb. 25, a
vehicle he reportedly used to commit theft in Michigan was seen fleeing the
Perrysburg Lowes. After allegedly striking a Perrysburg Township police vehicle,
he was arrested. Jones had allegedly loaded $831 worth of merchandise into a
cart and approached the front of the store where the doors had been secured
because it was closing. He is accused of forcefully pushing past an employee who
was blocking the doors and forcing open the doors. Police report that he had
entered the store Jan. 24 and took $1,598 worth of merchandise, on Sept. 21
$1,413 worth of merchandise and on Aug. 28 $903 worth of merchandise. The
total amount of thefts allegedly committed by Jones from Lowes stores in Ohio
and Michigan is $143,185.

Seattle, WA: Utla Beauty Shoplifters / Burglars threaten victims with COVID-19
Three burglary suspects walked out of ULTA Beauty Store in White Center with
$5,000 in merchandise, with one of the burglars declaring he had COVID-19 and
suggesting he would spit on the victims. According to a Seattle police report,
just before noon on Monday, staff at the store say they witnessed three people,
two women and one man, grabbing and concealing items inside bags. The staff
approached them about the stolen merchandise, which prompted the man to say they
were being targeted because of a racial bias. The man then threatened to
shoot the female employees. Then the man said he had COVID-19 and started to
pull down his mask and the victims feared he was about to spit on them. The
burglars left the store without paying for the items, which the store valued at
over $5,000. Officers arrived and conducted a search of the area, but the
suspects were not located.

Tuolumne County, CA: Felony Arrests for Modesto Couple in
Organized Retail Theft Scheme
 Monday
evening the Sonora Police Department arrested 26-year-old Charles P. Bryant of
Modesto and 24-year-old Zalena R. Herrera of Modesto for multiple charges,
including possession of stolen property, conspiracy to commit a felony, and
organized retail theft with intent to sell. Just after 8:30 pm on March 29,
2021, officers were called to Lowe's regarding a female in the store who had
been previously trespassed from that location. Upon officers' arrival, the
female, later identified as Zalena Herrera, fled through the rear of the
business setting off the alarm. Herrera did not turn up during a search of the
area, but officers remained close by to monitor for related activity.
Approximately one hour after the initial call, a silver Honda Civic was seen
circling the Lowe's parking lot. Officers knew Herrera was associated with a
silver Civic and initiated a traffic stop on it as it left the parking lot. The
male driver, later identified as Charles Bryant, leg bailed from the vehicle
leaving Herrera in the passenger seat.
Several hundred dollars worth of stolen merchandise from various retailers was
located in the vehicle, along with drug paraphernalia. Herrera was arrested, and
a search continued for Bryant, who was later spotted on foot in the area of Mono
Way near Greenley Road. Bryant ran when the officer attempted contact but was
taken into custody after a short chase.

Canada: Prince George, British Columbia: Mounties and Loss Prevention team-up to
Arrest 20 Shoplifters
A Prince George RCMP project earlier this month, which included the help of
out-of-town officers, resulted in 20 people arrested in a span of five days.
According to Mounties, several charges related to theft were approved between
March 22 and 26 during a 'Boost and Bust' initiative that targeted thieves and
shoplifters at local businesses in the Pine Centre Mall. In a statement, RCMP
spokesperson Cst. Jennifer Cooper says, each month, prolific offenders cost
retail outlets thousands of dollars in lost revenue. "Loss Prevention Officers
who specialize in this type of targeted approach came from the Lower Mainland to
assist police in their efforts," she said.
"The project utilized four police officers and ran for five full days. Two
members patrolled in the mall in covert uniforms while two members remained
outside of the mall in more subtle uniforms or plainclothes." The result of the
project led to the 20 arrests, as well as 19 files created, some of whom were
breaching court-ordered conditions that included not attending the Pine Centre
Mall.

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
Charlotte, NC: Break-in suspect uses blowtorch to steal cash from Chick-fil-A
safe
 Detectives
from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department are hoping members of the
public can help identify the person responsible for breaking into a Charlotte
Chick-Fil-A restaurant and using a blowtorch to steal from the restaurant's
safe. The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 3 at the Chick-fil-A
restaurant located at 10001 Rea Road near the Blakeney Shopping Center in the
Ballantyne area.
Surveillance footage from the restaurant's security cameras shows a man trying
to break into the building through the drive-thru window. Detective Adrian
Johnson with the CMPD Crime Stoppers said the suspect was unsuccessful in his
attempt to open the drive-thru window.
"When he realized that he couldn't get through the window, he then went to the
front door. He had a tool that he used to pry the front door open and that's how
he entered the business," said Johnson. Surveillance footage shows the suspect
walking through the empty business. The video shows the man locating the store
safe and then using a blowtorch to open the safe.
Police said the store alarm never sounded because a restocking company that
had been working in the building the same night had disabled the alarm. "This is
my first incident where I've seen a blowtorch used for burglary. You don't see
too many suspects with blowtorches," said Johnson.

Perception becomes reality slowly on a macro level and it's difficult to change
it if it's incorrect or doesn't portray the truth. It's the same reason law
enforcement separates witnesses to ensure clarity and truth. The group mind
becomes influenced by opinion and agendas and distorts the true reality. One can
only rely on daily vigilance based on doing what's right to hopefully impact the
individuals one works with on a daily basis to carry the experience forward and
be witness to what is right.
Just a Thought,
Gus
