JCP's Shrink Improvement - Impacts The Bigger
Picture
Security Tags Lead to 20% Shrink Reduction
JP Penney CFO Comments on Shrink Improvement
Last week's J.C. Penney (JCP) earnings conference call. The struggling
department-store retailer said it's making progress on combatting the problem.
"We have taken immediate action to improve shrink and are beginning to see
improved results on recent technology investments and staffing adjustments,"
said the company's chief financial officer, Bill Wafford. He said that "security
tag implementations" have led to a "20% reduction in shrink dollars in their
respective areas."
barrons.com
Editor's Note: At over 5% shrink, as
reported on the Daily in October 2018, a 13% improvement at the end of '18
and a 16% improvement in Q1 represent big dollars at the end of the day.

One Secret to Costco's Success: A Tight Rein on Shoplifting
Ahead of Costco's earnings report later this week, it's worth noting that one of
the secrets to the warehouse club's financial success has been to keep
shoplifting to a bare minimum.
The company's shrinkage, or shrink, the catchall industry term for merchandise
lost to shoplifting and employee theft, as well as damage or cashier errors, is
just 0.11% to 0.12% of sales, against a 1% to 2% average in the retail industry.
Costco Wholesale (ticker COST) may have the lowest shrinkage of any major
retailer-although few provide specific figures. Costco's performance is
important because the company has rock-bottom profit margins-a critical element
in the value proposition for its 53 million members.
Shrinkage comes up periodically as an issue for retailers as it did on last
week's J.C. Penney (JCP) earnings conference call. The struggling
department-store retailer said it's making progress on combatting the problem.
"We have taken immediate action to improve shrink and are beginning to see
improved results on recent technology investments and staffing adjustments,"
said the company's chief financial officer, Bill Wafford. He said that
"security tag implementations" have led to a "20% reduction in shrink dollars in
their respective areas."
Editor's Note: The founder had taken great pride in their shrink
numbers over the years in a number of articles. From saying they lock up all the
expensive items like jewelry and closely monitor the entrances and exits with
their door greeters checking receipts. Leaving each store manager accountable
for their own business operation. But when you have every members home address
and identification what would you expect. Other than internal theft, reduced
external theft, and probably very little ORC. It's more about store design, bulk
merchandise, and environment. As they virtually eliminate electronics theft and
grab and runs.

Defrauding NYC-Area Businesses & Insurance Co's $31.7M+
From 2013 through 2018, DUNCAN, LOCUST, and RAINFORD engaged in a widespread
fraud scheme where they defrauded businesses and insurance companies by staging
trip-and-fall accidents and filing fraudulent lawsuits. Fraud scheme

accidents at particular locations throughout New York City and to claim that
they injured themselves as a result of their accidents. Common accident sites
included cellar doors, cracks in concrete sidewalks, and purported "potholes."
Referred to specific attorneys who filed lawsuits against the owners of the
accident sites and/or insurance companies. Both facing 20 years in federal

Retail Growth - Direct-to-Consumer
The "A" Malls as Wholesaler Marketplaces
While the obvious transformation in Malls to non-shopping functions is in full
swing, an even more important metamorphosis - largely unreported - is taking
place.
 In a slow but now accelerating pattern, wholesalers who used to count on
selling their products through third parties like department and multi-brand
specialty stores are now taking control of their distribution through their
own branded stores. While many of these wholesalers have had stores for
years, this direct-to-consumer model is now coming to dominate many of the
"A" malls, redefining the tenant mix in a way we haven't seen.
"A" locations - are in fact not doomed at all, but instead are
continuing to transform themselves into a very different function in the overall
consumption of consumer products. Wholesalers are taking firm control of their
own distribution - not just online but in-mall as well - and this represents
a fundamental change in American retailing.

Which
private equity-owned retailers are still at risk?
80% of 2019 Bankruptcies Owned by Private
Equity Co's
In April, Staples private equity owners, Sycamore
Partners, paid itself a $1B dividend ahead of a possible IPO. Paid through a
loan that leaves Staples with $130M annual interest costs. Which is actually
just a footnote in the history of private equity's relationship with retail.
While there are some notable success stories - such as Burlington, BJ's
Wholesale and Dollar General - there have also been more than two dozen
bankruptcies of private equity retail acquisitions over the past 15 years.

Employees Want Smarter Office Security
Modern office access control has not been updated in over 40 years, meaning
commercial spaces can be vulnerable to physical breaches. Metal keys and
security card readers have not adapted to the modern security needs of today's
workplace - especially as more workers operate on flexible work schedules that
have them coming and going from the office at unconventional hours, and make
office buildings susceptible to threats. In fact, a recent
Office Technology Study from
Openpath, a leader in
workplace technology and security, proves that businesses need to update their
access control now in order to prepare for the future.
In its Office Technology Study, Openpath found that over half of employees think
their company's access control system could be improved or modernized. The same
survey found that one in three respondents would like to see improvements made
to their access control system by integrating smart technology. securitymagazine.com

U.S. considers blacklisting Megvii, Hikvision and other Chinese biometric
companies
Hikvision, Megvii, and other Chinese biometric companies could soon be
blocked from acquiring components and software from American suppliers by U.S.
lawmakers, as sources have told the
New York Times that the Trump administration is concerned about China as an
economic and geopolitical threat, but also about China’s surveillance industry,
and the biometric facial recognition technology provider’s role in it.
Bloomberg has reported that the U.S. is also considering blocking the flow
of U.S. technology to Dahua, voice biometric provider Iflytek, and Meiya Pico.

Most global workers noticed stricter policies at work as a result of GDPR
 When enforcement of the GDPR went into effect on May 25, 2018, it had worldwide
implications on data protection and privacy legislation. One year later, there
are conflicting sentiments from the global workforce about whether the
regulation has been effective, according to Snow Software.
A new survey, which polled 3,000 professionals in the United States, Europe and
Asia Pacific region, found that only 39% of respondents feel their personal data
is better protected since GDPR enforcement began. Another 34% indicated that
data protection seemed the same, while 20% are unsure and 6% actually believe
their personal data is less protected than it was prior to enforcement.
This mixed response around the impact of GDPR likely reflects the complexity
of educating the public on data regulations, as well as the difficulty
that organizations still face in complying with the law.

Biometrics industry groups blast San Francisco decision
and process in facial recognition ban
The Identification Technology Association (IdTA) and the International
Biometrics + Identity Association (IBIA) have each issued a statement condemning
the decision of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors to
ban facial recognition technology in city surveillance systems.
The IdTA called for the board to extend the comment period and dialogue on the
legislation to allow “a more thorough and thoughtful discussion about the
benefits of facial recognition technology.”
The IBIA more strenuously slammed the decision, saying that it should be
repealed and re-examined before it takes effect, as the council’s decision “did
not follow a transparent and thorough process to ensure a decision based on
facts and a careful balancing of benefits with appropriate uses and safeguards
to restrain the technology’s misuse.”

How mainstream media coverage
affects vulnerability management
For better or for worse, mainstream media is increasingly covering particularly
dangerous, widespread or otherwise notable security vulnerabilities.
The growing coverage has made more people aware of the risks and of the need to
keep their various devices (software) up-to-date. But among those people are
also partners and regulators, and executives and boards of directors who may
demand their security teams do something about them immediately, even though
they might be currently doing more important things than quickly patching a
vulnerability that may or may not be critical to the company's security.

Toronto police using facial recognition as Canadian government ponders rules;
Lawmaker wants to "hit the pause button" until there is more oversight
Toronto police used facial recognition technology to attempt to identify
people in 2,591 searches since March of last year, according to a report by
Chief Mark Saunders which revealed the force's use of the technology, the
Toronto Star reports.
A report submitted to the Toronto police services board shows that images from
public and private cameras are matched against an internal database of 1.5
million mugshots, and that the system's use so far has cost CAD $451,718 (just
over US$335,000). According to Saunders, the system was purchased to help police
more quickly and efficiently identify suspects, including violent offenders.
New Democratic Party Member of Parliament Charlie Angus told the Star that no
legislative oversight is in place, and therefore "we need to hit the pause
button."
Facial recognition is limited in Canada by the Personal Information Protection
and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which requires consent for the
collection, use, or transmission of personal information, but does not
specifically deal with AI or facial recognition.

Mom-and-pop stores will be hit hardest by looming strike at Port of Vancouver,
retail council says
 As
negotiations continue between B.C. longshore workers and their employers to
prevent a strike that could begin Monday, Canada's retail industry is crossing
its fingers that a deal can be reached. That's because the effective closure of
two Port of Vancouver container terminals could cause devastating ripple effects
across the country, including employee layoffs and major backups on
deliveries of goods.
Greg Wilson, B.C.'s director of government relations with the Retail Council of
Canada, said Saturday that the hardest-hit sector will be smaller mom-and-pop
stores that aren't able to find a way around the terminal closure.
"The largest retailers all have a lot of supply-chain professionals who are
adept at dealing with problems," he said. "Mom-and-pop retailers might import
one-third of a container a month or a quarter. If that container is stuck
somewhere, they don't have the ability to get more product around through a
different shipping line."

OPP see 'noticeable increase' in shoplifting in downtown Fort Frances, Ont.
35 shoplifting incidents from January to end of March
Ontario Provincial Police in Fort Frances say an increase in property crime
along Scott Street has prompted officers to implement daily foot patrols and
other initiatives to determine what's going on in the town's downtown core.
She said over the past year there has been approximately 100 reported
shoplifting occurrences in the region and officers have seen a "noticeable
increase" as community members and business owners have also been reporting more
theft in the downtown area.
Several initiatives have already taken place in order to stop the increase of
property crime, she said, including meeting with business owners, working
with the community street crime unit and increasing daily foot patrol along
Scott Street.

Money laundering report a wake-up call for Canada, but provinces skeptical;
Alberta leads the country with over $10B in laundering
The authors of a report that found $47 billion was laundered across Canada
last year debated whether to include a graph that indicated Alberta, Ontario
and the Prairies were hotspots for dirty money, says the lead writer.
The report, one of two recently released by the B.C. government, aimed to sound
a nationwide alarm about money laundering. But some provinces have reacted with
skepticism, as Alberta questioned the numbers and Ontario said it will monitor
the issue.
The panel estimated that Alberta led the country for money laundering in
2015 with $10.2 billion, followed by Ontario with $8.2 billion and the Prairies
- Saskatchewan and Manitoba combined - with $6.5 billion. To the surprise of
many, B.C. came in fourth with $6.2 billion, scuttling its reputation as
the money laundering capital of Canada.
nationalpost.com
How slow retail sales would hurt economy if B.C. reins in money laundering
With B.C.'s economy partly supported by the proceeds of crime, the whole
province could suffer if the B.C. government is successful at cutting the flow
of dirty money into legitimate assets. And luxury retailers' bottom lines
could be particularly hard hit by a serious crackdown on money laundering in the
province.
A recent independent report from former RCMP officer Peter German spelled out
how luxury retailers in the province are increasingly profiting from
customers buying goods with dirty money. The B.C. government responded with
a vow to curb the flow of ill-gotten gains into assets that appear to be
legitimate.
While he stressed that he does not know how big a slice of total revenue these
transactions comprise for luxury retailers, he said that less demand for
high-end retail products would hit those retailers' bottom lines, and may force
some to close.

Markham, ON: 8 charged in year-long Pacific Mall investigation targeting
thousands in fake goods
Police say they've charged eight people and seized thousands of alleged fake
goods sold at a Toronto-area mall. York Regional Police say they began
investigating complaints about alleged counterfeit luxury clothing and
handbags being sold at the Pacific Mall in Markham. In spring of April 2018,
police say they began an investigation after receiving reports of counterfeit
goods being sold at Pacific Mall. Just two months later, more than 30 police
officers executed search warrants at seven retailers within the mall and at the
residence of an owner of one of the kiosks. Officers seized luxury items,
including clothing and handbags, which police thought to be counterfeit. Cash
was also seized from the home, according to police. In August, investigators met
with brand representatives from companies such as Adidas, Chanel, MCM, Louis
Vuitton, Supreme, Dior, Givenchy, and Cartier, among others. The majority of
the merchandise was determined to be counterfeit.

Amazon Is Poised to Unleash a Long-Feared Purge
of Small Suppliers
Two months ago, Amazon.com Inc. halted orders from thousands of suppliers with
no explanation. Panic ensued -- until the orders quietly resumed weeks later,
with Amazon suggesting the pause was part of a campaign to weed out counterfeit
products. Suppliers breathed a sigh of relief.
Now a larger, more permanent purge is coming that will upend the relationship
between the world's largest online retailer and many of its long-time vendors.
In the next few months, bulk orders will dry up for thousands of mostly smaller
suppliers, according to three people familiar with the plan. Amazon's aim is to
cut costs and focus wholesale purchasing on major brands like Procter & Gamble,
Sony and Lego, the people said. That will ensure the company has adequate
supplies of must-have merchandise and help it compete with the likes of Walmart,
Target and Best Buy.
The mom-and-pops that have long relied on Amazon for a steady stream of orders
will have to learn a new way of doing business on the web store. Rather than
selling in bulk directly to Amazon, they'll need to win sales one shopper at a
time. It's one of the biggest shifts in Amazon's e-commerce strategy since it
opened the site to independent sellers almost 20 years ago. While the plan could
be changed or cancelled, it's currently moving forward, the people said.

Mob hits 3 stores as helpless clerks
tries his best
In a matter of minutes, the Raceway convenience store on Troy Highway went from
being nearly empty Monday night to being overrun by a horde of apparent teens
stealing anything within reach. It was the third station in two days to be
burglarized like that. The suspects trickled in slowly at first, grabbing items
close to the doors then fleeing, according to video footage of the thefts. About
a minute into the incident one person held the door open as a horde of girls and
boys in bathing suits grabbed cases of beer. An employee with a push broom tried
to stop them but was too overwhelmed.

at a reduced price on several occasions over a 15-day period. The cashier later
wrote a voluntary statement, saying that she and Watters were working together
and that the items were meant to be Christmas gifts. The total value of the
items taken from the store was $1,792.66.

Flexibility and molding to the environment you're in is the first step towards
integration and inclusion. In order to be absolutely effective, an executive
must first become one with their surroundings and mold to what it is as opposed
to expecting them to mold to you. Seeing and hearing those subtle differences is
the key and changing to it becomes the objective. Once modified, you then have
the freedom to influence change and make a difference.
Just a Thought,
Gus
