Post COVID-19 Retail Theft & Safety Thoughts/Issues


Mark R. Doyle, President
Jack L. Hayes International, Inc.


External Theft/Shoplifting Likely to Increase:

With loss of illicit funds during store closings, Organized Retail Crime will hit retailers quickly and frequently, especially in opening days when staffing will be minimal due to unknown sales volume.

'Hit n Runs' thefts will increase.

Loss of jobs/paychecks, in addition to the early release of prisoners, will result in increased shoplifting.

Limited sales floor staffing, especially when stores first re-open and adjust schedules based on sales volume, will create additional opportunities for shoplifters.

Many people entering stores will be wearing masks/facial coverings, thus limiting the chance of identification.  Read more

Getting in Bed With the Enemy
Amazon Scooped Up Data From Its Own Sellers to Launch Competing Products

Contrary to assertions to Congress, employees often consulted sales information on third-party vendors when developing private-label merchandise

Amazon.com Inc. employees have used data about independent sellers on the company's platform to develop competing products, a practice at odds with the company's stated policies.

The online retailing giant has long asserted, including to Congress, that when it makes and sells its own products, it doesn't use information it collects from the site's individual third-party sellers - data those sellers view as proprietary. Yet interviews with more than 20 former employees of Amazon's private-label business and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reveal that employees did just that.

Such information can help Amazon decide how to price an item, which features to copy or whether to enter a product segment based on its earning potential, according to people familiar with the practice, including a current employee and some former employees who participated in it.

In one instance, Amazon employees accessed documents and data about a bestselling car-trunk organizer sold by a third-party vendor. The information included total sales, how much the vendor paid Amazon for marketing and shipping, and how much Amazon made on each sale. Amazon's private-label arm later introduced its own car-trunk organizers.

"Like other retailers, we look at sales and store data to provide our customers with the best possible experience," Amazon said in a written statement. "However, we strictly prohibit our employees from using nonpublic, seller-specific data to determine which private label products to launch."

Amazon said employees using such data to inform private-label decisions in the way the Journal described would violate its policies, and that the company has launched an internal investigation. wsj.com

Editor's Note: As reported in the Daily on Feb. 25, Amazon is currently looking to license its checkout-free "Go" technology to other retailers. If competing companies weren't already worried about giving up their proprietary data by "getting in bed with the enemy", they certainly are now after this report.

A Guide to State Coronavirus Lockdowns

Governors in most states have ordered businesses to shut and people to stay home

Most U.S. states have imposed lockdown measures restricting gathering and social contact, disrupting the lives of hundreds of millions of people and the operations of thousands of businesses.

Wall Street Journal has compiled a great stay-by-state guide here, which will be updated as new information becomes available.


Reopening businesses will be harder than shutting them down

Customers will be demanding new safety measures, says disaster recovery expert

Businesses will have to show they have adequate safety measures in place when they reopen during the coronavirus pandemic, according the CEO of a nonprofit that helps businesses with disaster recovery.

"Customers are going to be demanding not just assumptions of safety but visible steps and measures that companies are taking on behalf of their employees and on behalf of their customers," Chloe Demrovsky, CEO of Disaster Recovery Institute International, told CNBC.

Demrovsky said on "The Exchange" that in general, the types of safety measures implemented by businesses will vary across sector and by size. But all businesses must have a plan, she said.

Advertisement"Shutting down businesses was difficult. Reactivating them is going to be harder," she said.

Policies businesses could put in place includes temperature checks at doors, in addition to a continued adherence to social distancing, Demrovsky said.

The changes may be particularly visible in restaurants. She said some may install Plexiglas barriers and switch to disposable eating utensils.

"Even in sectors where we're not used to seeing it, we're going to have to see personal protective equipment on all employees," Demrovsky said, adding that some stores may require that customers also wear masks.

She said retail stores that typically have samples, or testers, for products such as lotion or makeup will most likely have to stop doing so. cnbc.com

Contactless Payments: Healthy COVID-19 Defense

Touch-Free Payment Limit Gets Raised as Pandemic Continues

Public Health Mandate: Touch as Little as Possible
Now, using contactless feels better in a time when public health officials are telling us to touch as little as possible and to thoroughly wash our hands on a regular basis to help cut down on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Indeed, the industry has accelerated its plan to raise the top amount that you can charge, in any given contactless transaction, due to the outbreak.

Last year, Visa estimated that more than two-thirds of face-to-face transactions in Europe occurred using contactless payments, while in Canada and the U.K., the usage figure is about 60 percent.

In the U.S., however, contactless card transactions remain rare, with CNBC reporting last year that only about 3 percent of U.S. cards even have this capability, regardless of whether POS systems can read them.

What the C's Are Reading
Food Retailing and Our New Fate
When it comes to retailing, maybe the most unexpected surprise is that food retailing is just about the only enterprise that remains more or less as it was in the B.C. era (Before Corona).

Consumers can still go to supermarkets and other food-retailing venues in person to shop for the goods they need, if they accept the degree of hazard associated with that. They can also order product online. And sales at the major retailers selling food are surging, in a good way. But that doesn't mean everything is exactly the same for food retailing and that in a surprising turn of coronavirus events, the future of food retailing looks great. That being said, there are several concerns to consider now:

Up to about this point, we've seen store overcrowding and product shortages, almost all of which was the result of demand-side imbalances. Now, there are signs that supply-side shortages are in the making, which would be exceedingly more difficult to resolve. Then there's the delivery aspect of food retailing. It's intuitive to assume that delivery services are very well positioned now, and will be into the future, but is that the case? And what are the worker conditions during this crisis that could affect deliveries?

And what's the human dimension to all these considerations, including owners, workers and customers?

With 100,000 stores set to close by 2025,
Mall owners face their next legal hurdle: Co-tenancy clauses

Mall and shopping center owners are likely going to be hearing from tenants that are pulling out of leases with co-tenancy clauses, as department stores and other anchor tenants shut for good.

Here's how co-tenancy clauses work, on a basic level: They are typically built into the leases of the specialty tenants, like a Gap or an AT&T store, in the middle of a mall, or the shops situated along a grocery-anchored shopping centers, like a Big Lots or a TJ Maxx.

The clauses will say something along the lines of: If less than 80% of space is occupied at this property at any given time, or if a major, anchor tenant like a department store or a grocery store goes dark here, the tenant is allowed a break in rent. Or the tenant is given the ability to terminate a lease early. The clauses are meant to protect tenants when circumstances happen that are outside of their control. cnbc.com

Hudson Yards owner says workers must return to offices
before malls can reopen in post-coronavirus world

People need to get back to work - and will likely spend weeks in the office - before they get back in the mall, according to the owner of Hudson Yards in New York.

"My guess is we go back to offices first," Related Companies CEO Jeff Blau told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on Tuesday. "I think retail is going to be a second step. I think retail is going to be much slower to come back. Just because people go to their offices, I don't think they are going to rush out to congregate in restaurants." cnbc.com

Three Hours Longer, the Pandemic Workday Has Obliterated Work-Life Balance

People are overworked, stressed, and eager to get back to the office

An executive at JPMorgan Chase & Co. gets unapologetic messages from colleagues on nights and weekends, including a notably demanding one on Easter Sunday. A web designer whose bedroom doubles as an office has to set an alarm to remind himself to eat during his non-stop workday. At Intel Corp., a vice president with four kids logs 13-hour days while attempting to juggle her parenting duties and her job.

Six weeks into a nationwide work-from-home experiment with no end in sight, whatever boundaries remained between work and life have almost entirely disappeared.

With many living a few steps from their offices, America's always-on work culture has reached new heights. The 9-to-5 workday, or any semblance of it, seems like a relic of a bygone era. Long gone are the regretful formalities for calling or emailing at inappropriate times. Burnt-out employees feel like they have even less free time than when they wasted hours commuting.

In the U.S., homebound employees are logging three hours more per day on the job than before city and state-wide lockdowns, according to data from NordVPN, which tracks when users connect and disconnect from its service. bloomberg.com

Survey Finds that Safety Takes Priority in Workplace Training
To minimize the occurrence of physical and digital harm in the workplace, 90 percent of organizations are training employees on safety procedures, including compliance training and programs on other topics.

Of those, 95 percent provide training for employee safety, 96 percent for workplace safety, 48 percent for customer safety, and 84 percent for digital and information safety, according to the Association for Talent Development research report Safety Training: Protecting Employees and Organizations.

More organizations provided safety training to employees during on-boarding than at any other time (92 percent). Substantial majorities also covered safety on a regular schedule for refresher training (82 percent), in response to new government regulations (73 percent), or due to safety incidents (72 percent). securitymagazine.com

LAPD Announces It Is Dropping Its Predictive Policing Tool Due to Coronavirus
The Los Angeles Police Department announced today it would be ending its use of PredPol's predictive policing tool - which the company claims uses artificial intelligence to predict crime, but which critics have called "fundamentally flawed."

An LAPD memo dated April 15 quoted Police Chief Michel R. Moore saying that the police department would stop using the software, effective immediately, not because of concerns that activists have raised but because of financial constraints due to COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. buzzfeednews.com

'The Digital Guard': Remote Security Guarding During The Pandemic
As many local and federal government entities use systems complete with facial recognition and infrared technology to support first responders in preventing crime, the private sector typically relies on staffed security guards to protect assets. As the pandemic continues to require citizens to shelter in place, the availability and affordability of security guards decreases, leaving many businesses vulnerable to criminal activity.

Can Remote Guarding offer greater protection against thieves, vagrants, trespassers and active shooters? The Digital Guard is the bridge between the law enforcement community and the public. When an intruder activates a camera system on a prospective site, security agents in a secured command center will view and monitor the intruder's activity. And advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithm alerts the security agents who can then communicate with the intruder via a strategically positioned speaker system on site and alert law enforcement of a crime in progress. einnews.com

Essential Retail Jobs Draw a Crowd
Grocery clerks, warehouse employees and delivery workers are keeping America running during the pandemic.
Between early and late March, applications for fast-growing "essential retail" jobs surged 88% nationally, and more than 100% in places like Sacramento, Nashville, and Miami.

That's according to new analysis of LinkedIn data, which sheds light on labor and hiring trends in this field. Nearly a quarter of the applicants came from the retail, restaurant, hospitality and food/beverage industries, which have been hit hard by shelter-in-place rules.

The Future of Retail in a Time of Uncertainty

By Kristen Dalton, RH-ISAC Director of Research and Education

Four months ago, the Javits Center in New York City was bustling with more than 40,000 people attending the National Retail Federation (NRF) 2020 Vision: Retail's Big Show. Navigating retail innovation across four incongruent floors covering 760,000 square feet - with a 15-story glass-enclosed Crystal Palace high and wide enough for endless imagination - seems insignificant now, to the new reality retailers face: a future that has been caged in by the steel pillars and geometric beams of the iconic building, which now serves as an emergency field hospital designed to treat coronavirus patients.

The collective vision companies had for the industry - to use technology and data to personalize the customer experience with seamless integrations between the physical and digital worlds - has been obscured by a global pandemic. Front-line employees that were reimagined as next generation store associates who could provide tech expertise and consultative advice on new products and services, have been furloughed. Emerging business models, such as retail as a service, that were realized as IoT-connected stores and boutique showrooms designed to facilitate mutual learning between companies and consumers, has been replaced the urgency to buy only essential items in the few stores that remain open. Curated experiences that were intended to be highly personal opportunities to build brand loyalty no longer exist in a world of physical and social distancing. Point of Sale (PoS), meanwhile, had been evolving as the ultimate consumer accommodation that could happen anytime, anywhere: in-store, online, through brand apps, digital wallets, and even selfie wallets.

The idyllic balance between these in-store and digital experiences, as a means of connection and convenience, has been disrupted by a public health crisis that has accelerated our immersion into the digital world. What was a hypothetical question at the NRF conference - am I a retailer or tech company? - now has an immediate existential meaning: who do I need to be in this moment?  Read More Here

In what has been called the "world's largest work-from-home experiment," organizations around the globe are being forced to quickly transition to a remote workforce, ready or not. Cybercriminals have opportunistically adjusted to this new normal by updating phishing lures, malware, and other fraud techniques. BEC crime rings are no different.

New Tech Headache For Companies In Post Work-From-Home World:

Just over the horizon for American businesses and government agencies is the return to the traditional office work environment. But what will companies and agencies do with the new laptops and other devices they put into employee homes in order to keep things going during state-imposed stay-at-home orders? The International Association of IT Asset Managers (IAITAM) today outlined the key steps employers need to take to protect their data and investments.

1. Organizations will have to identify all of the new assets now.
2. Assets need to be tracked and remote users need to understand the transition process.
3. A plan should be in place now to deal with excess hardware. iaitam.org

Important Questions to Answer Before Paying a Ransomware Demand

2019 Average Payment Was $81,116 With Total Global Rev. $170 Billion

Best practices in the cybersecurity community suggest never paying a ransom to cybercriminals, but many companies do attempt to recover data through this method. The simplest explanation for why is simply to get access to their networks back as quickly as possible.

According to data reported in The New York Times, 205,280 organizations submitted claims about being hacked by a ransomware attack in 2019, this is an increase of 41 percent from 2018. The actual figures may be even higher, as some organizations elect not to notify the authorities about compromised systems. The same article reported that the average payment made to release the locked files climbed to $81,116 during the last quarter of 2019.

So if it's not illegal to pay a hacker to regain access to your data, is it ethical?

On the same note, there are cybersecurity strategies worth considering that may give an organization a "security parachute" in the event of a successful ransomware attack.

Kount Unveils eCommerce and Fraud Trend Tracker for Spring 2020
Kount, the leader in digital fraud prevention and account protection, today announced a new weekly tracker for up-to-date eCommerce purchase trends emerging in the current global pandemic. In light of the impacts of the coronavirus, Kount is helping businesses to monitor trends including changes in online transactions by industry, shifts in eCommerce models including expedited shipping requests, and fraud threats related to each of these findings.

Findings show industries including home office supplies, electronics, crafts, and gaming have seen increases in digital transaction volumes as consumers are challenged with the tasks of working, taking care of their children, and recreating, all from the confines of their homes. The data also shows a change in how eCommerce is delivered, as consumers have a sense of urgency in receiving items. Kount observed a 183% growth in mid-March for expedited shipping requests. At the same time, transaction data shows there is also an increase in Buy Online, Pick Up in Store (BOPIS) requests, as well as ship-from-store orders.

Kount data shows:

Retail eCommerce

Sales for home office furniture and electronics increased 54% week to week in mid-March as many Americans prepared for the new reality of remote work for the first time.

Wellness and vitamins sales increased 43% during the same period with the heightened focus on public health.

While there's been a run on hand sanitizers and toilet paper, Kount's data shows in early March, they rocketed up 1244% and 145%

The weekly data tracker also includes emerging fraud trends to monitor such as account takeover, retail arbitrage, and friendly fraud. Kount protects against fraud and chargebacks for more than 6,500 online businesses across every industry and geography, helping them to accelerate eCommerce through AI-driven fraud prevention. kount.com

Bezos Takes Back the Wheel at Amazon
The chief executive, who had distanced himself from day-to-day management, is closely involved in the company's response to the pandemic.

After years of working almost exclusively on long-term projects and pushing day-to-day management to his deputies, Mr. Bezos, 56, has turned back to the here-and-now problems facing Amazon, the company said, as the giant retailer grapples with a surge of demand, labor unrest and supply chain challenges brought on by the coronavirus.

He is holding daily calls to help make decisions about inventory and testing, as well as how and when - down to the minute - Amazon responds to public criticism. He has talked to government officials. And in April, for the first time in years, he made a publicized visit to one of Amazon's warehouses.

Mr. Bezos' change reflects how completely different managing is during a crisis, said Bill George, a former chief executive of the medical device company Medtronic who teaches leadership at Harvard Business School. nytimes.com

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts

Springfield, MO: Man accused of stabbing Walmart security guard
during shoplifting attempt
AdvertisementPolice say a Springfield man tried to leave a Walmart store with a cart full of stolen merchandise and then stabbed the security guard who stopped him. Eric Reed, 29, was charged earlier this month with robbery and armed criminal action. According to a probable cause statement, Reed tried to leave the Walmart Neighborhood Market on April 13 without paying for a cart full of merchandise. When a security guard tried to stop him, Reed allegedly claimed his wife would be coming to the store the next day to pay for the items. Not buying that explanation, the security guard blocked Reed from leaving, and eventually wrested the cart away from him. The statement says Reed then grabbed a bottle of juice and walked out of the store. The security guard reportedly followed Reed out of the store and tried to retrieve the juice. There was a struggle in the parking lot, and Reed allegedly pulled out a knife and cut the security guard in the hand and abdomen. Police then arrived and arrested Reed as he was walking away from the store. news-leader.com

"Something just told me it was the wrong thing to do -- it didn't feel right -- I didn't have a good feeling about it." The subconscious is a very strong silent partner we all have and oftentimes it speaks to us in these phrases. The problem becomes when we over-think things and muffle the most powerful partner we have -- our own minds. Or we allow our closest confidant, our closest friend, or even at times our mentor to change or alter our true feelings. Coming to the right decision with any big issue is difficult and certainly we need the input of our trusted inner circle, and our spouse, but at the end of the day you're the one living with the consequence of your decision and you alone are responsible for it. When the bird on your shoulder is talking, make sure you listen because most mistakes are made when that voice has been muffled.

Just a Thought,
Gus
