Teens Becoming 'Store
Sheriffs' With Little or No Training
Store Workers Become Enforcers of Social Distancing Rules, Amid Rising Violence
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/5-8-20_ap.png)
Sandy Jensen's customer-service job at a Sam's Club in Fullerton, California,
normally involves checking member ID cards at the door and answering questions.
But the coronavirus has turned her into a kind of store sheriff. Now she must
confront shoppers who aren't wearing masks and enforce social distancing
measures such as limits on the number of people allowed inside. The efforts
sometimes provoke testy customers.
"They are behaving worse now," Jensen said. "Everybody is on edge. I have
hostile members in my face."
Her frustration is shared by store workers across the country, who are
suddenly being asked to enforce the rules that govern shopping during the
pandemic, a tension-filled role for which most of them
have received little or no training. The burden is sure to become
greater as more businesses in nearly a dozen states start to reopen.
Even if a security guard is posted at the store, employees complain they are
often left to stand up to defiant shoppers.
Store tensions recently resulted in violence in at least two states. A
Michigan security officer was fatally shot last week after telling a customer to
wear a mask at a Family Dollar store. Two McDonald's employees in Oklahoma City
were shot Wednesday by a customer who was angry that the restaurant's dining
area was closed, police said.
Also in Oklahoma, one city abandoned its mask rule after store clerks were
threatened. And at a southern California grocery store called Vons, a man showed
up in what looked like a Ku Klux Klan hood. He ignored requests from workers to
remove it until he got to the register, according to the supermarket.
Masks are required in some states. Some major retailers including Costco
Wholesale Club have made masks mandatory regardless of government policies. But
even at stores that post signs about mask recommendations, workers often have
to approach unmasked visitors.
Walmart, the nation's largest retailer and largest private employer, said it
works with law enforcement in communities where face coverings are required.
Jeff Reid, who works at the meat counter at a Giant store in Silver Spring,
Maryland, which mandates masks, said the greeter at his store is the one
confronting shoppers, not the security guard posted outside.
"We are going on the front lines on a daily basis. If it's against the law
without your mask, why are you having cashiers and
teenagers trying to enforce this when this is the law?" asked Zeid,
who often has to reprimand customers to keep 6 feet apart.
Jason Brewer, a spokesman at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, said it's
not a retail employee's role to enforce a local law or an executive order on
face coverings or any other protocol. He said law enforcement should get
involved and that shoppers can do their part.

6 Tips for Protecting Retailers, Employees from Safety, Legal Risks of
COVID-19
Grocery retailers and their employees have fast become some of the most
essential service providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. As with many other
businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, grocery retailers were forced to develop new guidelines and virus
protection protocols on the fly while also navigating rapidly changing national,
state and local directives. Now, many are finding themselves on the legal or
media firing line for not doing enough to protect workers out of the gate.
According to supermarket analysts, one of the biggest mistakes some grocery
retailers made early on was not allowing employees to wear masks or gloves in
the way they requested. This and similar decisions, combined with confusion
about corporate and government policies, led to some illnesses and grocery store
workers publicly lashing out at their employers. Some employees staged
walk-offs, protesting lack of protective gear, while others went to the media to
share their fears about health and safety in their workplace. Some grocery
retailers are even facing wrongful death lawsuits from the estates of employees
who died of COVID-19 complications.
With two-thirds of U.S. states beginning to partially lift stay-at-home orders,
here are the top six things retail employers can do to help essential workers
feel and stay safe on the job as well as protect themselves against potential
legal backlash:
1. Identify exposures and risks specific to the business and employees.
2. Verify all state, city or local COVID-19 related restrictions.
3. Outline the specific measures to be implemented.
4. Be sensitive to and mindful of employee's individual needs and risk factors.
5. Establish a policy around identifying and isolating potentially infectious
employees.
6. Lastly, keep employees informed about what you are doing to keep them safe.

Arrests Down 60% - Domestic Violence A Global
Crime Epidemic
How Coronavirus Has Stifled the Criminal Justice System
Coronavirus Has Changed Law Enforcement
There are more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States with
more than 800,000 law enforcement personnel.
The coronavirus has significantly affected the way officers do their job.
Social distancing recommendations to prevent COVID-19 transmissions causes
officers to keep their distance from citizens and make less face-to-face contact
with the public. This, in turn, has resulted in a sharp decline in arrests.
Although serious crime rates have remained nearly identical, arrests from
January through April 2020 are down 60 percent compared with the same
period in 2019.
Despite general crime rates staying the same,
domestic violence incidents have risen sharply over the past few months.
Incidents have risen so sharply, however, that the
United Nations has warned that the
coronavirus lockdown could lead to 31 million new cases of domestic
violence.

'Dialing For Dollars'
Levi's CFO Picks Up the Phone to Remind Retailers to Pay Their Bills
The strategy to call up customers in arrears appears to be working,
as 'even the most distressed retailers are paying,' according to finance chief
Harmit Singh
"I'm the chief debt collector," said Harmit Singh. "I am calling the
big retailers, saying, 'You are owing me money; when are you paying me?'"
The San Francisco-based jeans maker is zeroing in on collecting cash owed by its
business customers to help boost liquidity.
"My feedback to all of them is I need a little bit of money every week."
Hackett Group recommends companies have a clear hierarchy for the
debt-collection process and set out timelines to make sure payments arrive in
time, Mr. Bailey said. "You have to have a very clear sequence of escalation,"
he said.

The U.S. is Waking Up
Opening & Shutting Their Doors
Hope it isn't a little too early -
Shutting down again won't be pretty!
COVID-19 Lockdown: U.S. Public Opposes Reopening Most Businesses
The poll specifically asked Americans about whether their states should open
eight different types of business.
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/5-8-20_securityinfowatch.PNG)
This is Your Retail's Evolution On Speed
And the malls come tumbling down
This was inevitable
Much of this push to open may be wishful thinking. Not only are stay-at-home
orders still in place in many areas, but most shoppers (89%) also remain
anxious about shopping in physical spaces. The top worry for 63% of
survey respondents is being too close to other people, 40% are most
concerned about store cleanliness, with 34% leery of touching
point-of-sale terminals and 32% of handling cash.
More than 60% of Americans are
worried about lifting restrictions too quickly, with only 29% concerned
about not reopening quickly enough, according to a May 5 Monmouth University
poll. A third want to move to ensure the economy "does not go into a deep and
lengthy downturn," but 56% say public health concerns are more important
in deciding when to end the current limits, according to that report.
"The medical drives everything - there will be no return to normalcy,
whatever normalcy means, until there's a solution to the virus," he told Retail
Dive in an interview.
Even if the main portion of a mall does open, there are going to be many
stores - both anchor department stores and specialty retailers - that
won't, ever.
In fact, a little more than half of all mall-based department stores could
close for good by the end of next year, setting off a spiral "knockdown"
effect, as in-line mall tenants would be allowed to lower rents or exit
leases. That was already a reality, but the pandemic has sped up a scenario that
was set to unfold over the next five to 10 years to instead happen over the
next couple of years, according to Green Street's Tibone.
As stores close up indefinitely, all shopping center types face risk, but
traditional enclosed malls face the most.
The old, traditional style of shopping mall, where you had two anchor department
stores at either end and a bunch of in-line clothing stores in between -
anyone who sticks with that model is going to be dead."

'What If I Get Coronavirus?' - Fear, Plain &
Simple
Why Fear Is the Greatest Obstacle to Returning to Work
Anticipation is growing for the U.S. to restart the economy and for businesses
to reopen. Despite Americans' overwhelming desire to get back to work, however,
there is one major obstacle to getting back to normal-fear.
A recent CBS News poll showed that only 44% of workers are comfortable going
to a workplace outside of their own homes. That means more than half of
all employees lack the confidence to return to their offices or worksites.
Employers and their HR teams need to be proactive, strategic and thoughtful
in their approach in order to create cultures of certainty, confidence
and safety amidst all this uncertainty and fear.
As part of their return-to-work plans, many companies are initially focusing on
the physical aspects of the workplace by reconfiguring workspaces to allow more
distance between employees. Temperature screenings will likely become the norm,
especially for larger companies. Sneeze guards and other protective "barriers"
are being installed to additionally protect employees from customers and
vendors. Sanitizer dispensers will be located throughout the workplace, along
with signs reminding employees to regularly wash their hands and avoid touching
their faces.

RILA: Is your space ready for relaxed emergency mandates?
Environmental health considerations for the commercial space
This is a guest blog post from UL's
Engineering Manager Mike Carpenter, Principal Scientist Elliot Horner, and
Senior Sales Manager Sean McCrady.
It's
been almost nine weeks since the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
announced the first U.S. COVID-19 case of unknown origin on February 28.
While subsequent
reports dispute the CDC's original timeline, the fallout from COVID-19, the
disease caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2, is indisputable.
While not every state or region has seen a large number of COVID-19 cases, the
crisis has greatly affected us all due to the closure of numerous businesses
around the country. However, with the planned relaxing of emergency mandates in
some areas, it's time for businesses to review their plans to safely unshutter
office and retail spaces.

New Solink Video Alarm Notifies You
of Important Incidents, Instantly
With
temporary closures and longer off hours, ensuring the security of your business
through remote monitoring is essential for peace of mind and to ensure your
premise is secure. Traditional alarm systems notify you and the authorities of
possible intrusions into your business through the use of sensors. It can take
up to 5 minutes for an alarm to be actioned and sent to a dispatching station.
Further, false alarms are prevalent, which can lead to expensive fines and
unnecessary stress for you. When a break-in occurs, you may spend hours
reviewing footage to share with the authorities to assist with the
investigation.
With this in mind, Solink has created a state of the art system that
automatically alerts you of motion, when armed, and allows you to verify the
footage from the existing Solink mobile app. If the authorities are required,
you can make that call and easily share the video clip to assist
first-responders. This can all be done in a matter of seconds.
Best of all, this new feature is available to all Solink customers at no
additional charge. There is no need for new equipment or technology as the
feature works with your existing security cameras that are connected to Solink.
Configuration of alarm-enabled cameras can be done remotely to identify a
schedule of monitoring and the specific zones you want to be covered. As always,
our 24/7 customer support team is ready to help.
For customers with existing alarm services, this can be used to verify a call in
the middle of the night. Monitoring stations can use this to quickly and easily
perform video verification on behalf of Solink customers.
Get Up and
Running – Quickly
Enabling video alarms for your existing cameras in Solink is simple
and intuitive. Depending on business needs, video alarms can be
always on, follow a location alarm schedule, or be manually turned
off. |

Target
Specific Hours and Cameras for Increased Insight
Solink video alarms provide the flexibility to choose the hours and
cameras for when and where your alarms are enabled. This helps
ensure only meaningful results are delivered to you via email or
push notification. |

New Back Door For Hackers
Malicious Bots Infiltrate Online Food Delivery
With grocery delivery in higher demand than ever, new add-ons have emerged to
secure slots for consumers, presenting a new pathway for bad bots to wreak
havoc.
As demand for online grocery shopping has risen, so has the availability of new
browser extensions to help shoppers game the delivery system. In recent weeks,
developers have released add-ons that perform functions like scanning for and
alerting users to delivery slots, completing the checkout -- and inadvertently
presenting a pathway for malicious bots to harvest user information.
That last one may not be the intention of well-meaning developers looking to
help shoppers get the food they need in a timely fashion, but according to Ido
Safruti, co-founder and CTO of PerimeterX, these extensions present a series of
new risks.
"From mid-January to mid-March, food and grocery delivery experienced a 41%
increase in traffic – both good and bad," he says. "Bad traffic includes
malicious bots that execute attacks including account takeover and Web scraping.
We've seen an increase in the volume of attacks, and in the sophistication of
bot attacks across sites."

FireEye Report: A Majority of Attacks Successfully Infiltrate Enterprise
Environments Without Detection
FireEye
released the
Mandiant® Security Effectiveness Report 2020 which reveals data about
how well organizations are protecting themselves against cyber threats and the
overall effectiveness of their security infrastructure.
The report summarizes the results of thousands of tests performed by experts
from the Mandiant Security Validation (previously known as Verodin) team. The
report reveals that while organizations continue to invest significant budget
dollars in security controls and assume that this means assets are fully
protected, the reality is that a majority of the tested attacks successfully
infiltrated the organizations’ production environments without their
knowledge. Additionally, the report includes guidance to help
organizations ensure that their security controls perform as expected by
implementing a strategy that includes continuous security validation.
In the tests, 53 percent of attacks successfully infiltrated environments
without detection. 26 percent of attacks successfully infiltrated
environments but were detected, while 33 percent of attacks were prevented
by security tools.

Pandemic Could Accelerate Passwordless Authentication
For the past few years on World Password Day we've wondered why we're
celebrating passwords given the reality that more than 80% of security
breaches are caused by weak passwords and credentials, according to data
from the highly-regarded
Verizon data breach report.
Today, as thousands of companies have been forced to work remotely because of
COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, the question this year is whether the pandemic
will result in the move to passwordless authentication solutions en masse.
The business case has been there for several years: according to Gartner,
between 20% to 50% of all help desk calls are for password resets, while
Forrester Research's oft-quoted stat says that the average help desk labor
cost for a single password reset is about $70.
Jermoluk says by automating password resets, companies can save on help desk
costs, plus pour some of that money into automated help desk applications.
There are also two other important benefits, compliance and the ability to
use any device. Passwordless systems from companies such as Beyond Identity,
OneLogIn, and SecureAuth, let users authenticate via fingerprint or facial
recognition. They collect detailed user data such as device, location, time,
application, and purpose. All of this data helps organizations comply with
regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and
California's Consumer Privacy Act. And with passwordless authentication, workers
are free to use their own devices because there's a secure connection between
the application and the device.
"Passwordless authentication is also more secure," says Brooks. "Brute force
attacks don't work and phishing attacks are more difficult to do."

whether it be how much they're buying, what they're buying or where they're
buying it," said Anthony Ferry, Co-founder and CEO of PriceSpider. "Stay at
home orders continue to be in effect for a lot of the country and ecommerce will
continue to grow rapidly during this time, but no one could have predicted the
growth we're seeing on our platform right now."
While nearly every category is seeing gains in ecommerce, there have also been a
number of interesting trends in which categories are performing the best.
Week of March 9: Health & Beauty - 159.4%
Week of March 16: Health & Beauty - 278%
Week of March 23: Consumer Electronics - 235.2%, with CPG (Health & Beauty +
Food & Beverage) barely trailing at over 210% growth
Week of March 30: Consumer Electronics - 346.1% with Food and Beverage barely
trailing at 340% growth
Week of April 6: Consumer Electronics - 388.9%, Hardware 358%, CPG 301%
Week of April 13: Hardware - 485.2% and Consumer
Electronics - 433%
Week of April 20: Hardware - 525.4%
Week of April 27: Hardware - 589.6%
The company works with over 1,600 brands worldwide, including many of the
world's top consumer packaged goods brands.

Editor's Note: Some of this trend will continue for some time. Until
consumers feel safe again. Which may be a year or so or until a vaccine. Bottom
line though is: How much of the increase will become the new norm? My guess is
50% of it. And it will change retail as we know it forever. Just look at the
trend over the eight weeks themselves with the last three almost double of the
first three. What does that show? Just my thoughts -Gus Downing

Update: Palm Springs, FL: FENCING OPERATION: Man ran shoplifting, fencing
operation to ship items to Cuba
Manuel
Aguiar-Santana, authorities allege, had mules shoplift goods that he either
fenced locally or shipped to his native Cuba. His arrest came, they said, after
they caught and “turned” one of his helpers. Aguiar-Santana, 46, charged with
dealing stolen property, was booked Thursday at the Palm Beach County Jail with
his bail set at $15,000. He remained jailed early Friday. According to a
Palm Springs police report, a search of Aguiar-Santana’s home uncovered 10 large
garbage bags of razor cartridges, one bag of female hygiene products, two chest
freezers packed with meat, and numerous containers of laundry detergent. Lantana
police had caught a man shoplifting Sunday at the Costco near Interstate 95 and
also tied him to an April 28 theft there, the Palm Springs report said.
The man said he was a drug addict and homeless and had met a man named “Manny”
who worked at a suburban West Palm Beach barber shop in the strip center where
the man hung out. For four months, he said, Manny would drive him to big box
retailers — Publix, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s and others — and wait in the
parking lot as he pilfered clothes, razors, meat and other items. The
coronavirus pandemic blocked Manny’s shipments to Cuba and inventory piled up in
his home, the informant told investigators.

Lower Nazareth, PA: Police arrest theft suspect after alleged accomplices leave
him behind
The Colonial Regional Police Department reports that Savery K. Richardson, of
Brooklyn, and two other men pulled into the Sam’s Club parking lot just before 6
p.m. Tuesday and began opening memberships with stolen personal information.
Police said the information came from seven victims across the country.
Authorities said the trio took turns over roughly the next hour going into Sam’s
Club to purchase merchandise. Police said two of the men purchased a pair of
70-inch televisions each valued at $750, a security system and seven Roomba
vacuum cleaners, all totaling about $3,746. One of the men, who is not named in
court records, tried to purchase six more Roombas but left the merchandise
behind after an employee confronted him about his purchase.
Richardson also purchased a $750 70-inch TV and returned to the store about an
hour later. He was filling his cart with another television, a security system
and a Roomba, when a store employee approached him. He reportedly left the
merchandise behind and walked out of the store. His cohorts had already driven
away with the merchandise, stranding Richardson in the parking lot with 7 cell
phones each with an open Sam’s club purchasing app.

Pittsburgh, PA: Fugitive Wanted On 14-Year-Old Warrant Arrested For Threatening
Walgreens Employee Over Face Masks
Investigators
say Adam Kruse has been on the run from North Huntingdon Police for some time.
Officers say he had a fleeing and eluding police charge from 2006. His alleged
run from police ended in Mercer County when police say the 59-year-old was
picked up. “They found an individual in a vehicle sleeping and found out he had
a warrant out there for 14 years out of our department,” said Detective Thomas
Harris. Kruse’s story would take yet another turn once he was in North
Huntingdon Police’s custody. He was allegedly involved in an incident on Sunday
night at Walgreens.
“He wanted to buy one face mask and was told he had to buy the whole box. He
became irate,” said Harris. “He said he’d come back, shoot the employee, anyone
in the store and any responding law enforcement officers.” Investigators showed
Kruse a photo from store surveillance video. Initially, he denied it was him.
Eventually, he admitted to being in Walgreens, but police say he denied making
any comments about shooting people.

Interesting how the social dynamics of a small industry mirror, somewhat, the
same social dynamics of a family, with the holidays and conferences almost being
one in the same, where we're excited to visit with old friends and colleagues,
yet cautious about the battle lines business and careers at times necessitate or
cause. At the end of the day, it's all about doing what's right for the
industry, adding value, helping people and continuing to help evolve the
industry. And while each executive has their individual agendas, it's important
to remember that we are all part of one industry and we all share one goal - to
guide, nurture and evolve it.
