Nike and the Retail Industry Adoption Outlook for RFID
 By Tony D'Onofrio, Global
Retail Influencer
Almost exactly a year ago, in my last RFID article titled "Keeping
Physical Retail In-Stock", I concluded that the two most relevant components
of positive customer experiences in physical stores are fast checkouts and
products being in-stock. Multiple recent retailer quarterly earnings calls,
several articles, and two requests from China on direct consulting with
potential investors in RFID inspired this updated technology review.
In the latest
Nike
earnings call, CEO Mike Parker directly stated that RFID "is improving product
visibility and is an important step toward integrating our diverse ecosystem of
physical and digital experiences, distribution centers and contract factories."
Calvin McDonald, CEO of
Lululemon
in his earnings call cited the company's strength and unique position in being
able "to activate great product across our omni-guest experiences, leveraging
our stores, community and events." Both Nike and Lululemon reported strong
financial results for their respective quarters.
Apparel has been the sweet spot for the adoption of RFID for some time. The
latest
Apparel Magazine Technology Outlook points to mixed priority focus on the
technology. In this survey
only 1% rated RFID as a most valuable technology for 2019.
RFID adoption trends are higher in the apparel segment
of the retail industry as reflected in the same publication. Within the apparel
segment, the applications of RFID are interesting and growing.
"When it comes to plans for deployment in RFID in 2019, each area of application
made some strides in 2019 vs. 2018. For example, plans to deploy RFID at point
of sale are up from 2% to 4% this year; plans to deploy for logistics and
transportation are up to 7% from 2% last year; in the warehouse, up to 9% from
4% last year; and in loss prevention, up to 9% from 4% last year."

RLPM Bernard Grucza sentenced to 25 years for killing Toys R Us manager
Bernard Grucza, a former Regional Loss Prevention Manager was attempting to

Larry Wells at 4:30am. Grucza stabbed Wells to death and fled the store, only to
return later and was seen consoling Toys R Us associates at the scene of the
crime. A baseball hat found at the scene was tested for DNA which led Police to
the arrest of Grucza in October of 2013, four mouths after the killing. Grucza
was also later charged with the theft of $223,000 of cash and merchandise from
Toys R Us.
On July, 24 2014, Grucza pleaded guilty to Manslaughter in the First Degree. He

Banksville, NY: Upscale Restaurateur Pleads Not Guilty To Fraud Charges
The owner of La Crémaillère Restaurant in Banksville, which filed for bankruptcy
in April, was arrested in Connecticut on Tuesday and is facing a slew of federal
fraud charges. Barbara "Bobbie" Meyzen, who's owned the upscale restaurant since
1993, is accused of: lying on credit applications, forging the name of a
relative by marriage on a second mortgage, charging more than $80,000 on a
customer's credit card that was on file, misleading the Office of the United
States Trustee, which oversees bankruptcy cases, by saying the property was
insured when it wasn't, and opening bank accounts to divert tens of thousands of
dollars of La Crémaillère's credit card receipts and future credit card revenue
to pay for several different things, including food distributors, wine
wholesalers, and an in-home nursing service, among other purchases.

CVS adds time-delay safes in Pa. stores to help prevent opioid robberies
CVS Pharmacy has now installed time-delay safes in all its locations across
Pennsylvania to help prevent robberies of medications, including such opioids as
oxycodone and hydrocodone, the company announced Tuesday alongside Pennsylvania
Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
Bright-red signs on the pharmacy counter alert anyone passing by that time-delay
pharmacy safes are in use, monitored by 24-hour surveillance, and used with
emergency alarm systems. These safes come with a built-in delay in opening the
safe that cannot be overridden.
Time-delay safes were first implemented in 2015 in CVS Pharmacy stores in
Indianapolis after the company saw an increase in pharmacy robberies. Within a
year of installing the time delays, the company saw a 70 percent decline in
those crimes.

Amazon has ‘destroyed the retail industry’ so US should look into its practices,
Treasury Sec. Mnuchin says
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the Justice Department is right to be
looking into Amazon’s practices as part of its antitrust review of big
technology companies.
“I think if you look at Amazon, although there are certain benefits to it,
they’ve destroyed the retail industry across the United States so there’s no
question they’ve limited competition,” Mnuchin said to CNBC’s Squawk Box on
Wednesday.
“I think it’s very good that the attorney general is going to look into this. I
think it’s an important issue and I look forward to him reporting back to the
president and hearing his recommendations,” said Mnuchin.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Dept. of Justice said it is
opening a broad antitrust review of big technology companies,
sending shares of Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook lower in off-hours trading. The
DOJ said it is looking into how major online platforms have “achieved market
power” and how their practices may have “reduced competition, stifled
innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers.”

Excellence
U.S. Xpress named FedEx Ground’s Carrier of the Year
Truckload and logistics provider Schneider Inc. announced that it received the

support the CargoNet program. According to CargoNet, Schneider’s ratio of
theft-related losses to loads is infinitesimal.

FTC slaps Facebook with record $5 billion fine, orders privacy oversight
The Federal Trade Commission has
formally announced its approval of a $5 billion settlement with Facebook
over the company’s privacy policies.
The fine is the largest ever imposed by the FTC against a tech company.
The previous high was a 2012 $22.5 million fine against Google for its privacy
practices. The $5 billion fine against Facebook represents approximately 9% of
the company’s 2018 revenue.
The 20-year settlement, which was approved in a 3-2 vote by the agency’s
commissioners, also includes provisions that aim to create a level of
independence from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision-making.
Separately, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced Wednesday it is
charging Facebook with making misleading disclosures about the risk of misuse of
user data. Facebook agreed to pay $100 million to settle the charges, according
to the SEC.

US attorney general says encryption creates security risk
Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that increased encryption of data on
phones and computers and encrypted messaging apps are putting American security
at risk. Barr’s comments at a cybersecurity conference mark a continuing
effort by the Justice Department to push tech companies to provide law
enforcement with access to encrypted devices and applications during
investigations.
“There have been enough dogmatic pronouncements that lawful access simply cannot
be done,” Barr said. “It can be, and it must be.”
The attorney general said law enforcement is increasingly unable to access
information on devices, and between devices, even with a warrant supporting
probable cause of criminal activity. Barr said terrorists and cartels switch
mid-communication to encrypted applications to plan deadly operations. He
described a transnational drug cartel’s use of WhatsApp group chat to
specifically coordinate murders of Mexico-based police officials.
Gail Kent, Facebook’s global public policy lead on security, recently said that
allowing the government’s ability to gain access to encrypted communications
would jeopardize cybersecurity for millions of law-abiding people who rely on
it. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.

Your business hit by a data breach?
Expect an average bill of $3.92 million
With the true damage felt for years to come
On Tuesday, IBM Security released its annual study, the
Cost of a Data Breach Report, to estimate both the immediate and ongoing
expense of a data breach. According to the company, the cost of a data breach
has risen by 12 percent over the course of five years, and organizations can
expect to pay an average of $3.92 million.
 IBM says that this expense — which can be caused by the hire of third-party
cyber forensics firms, legal costs, rapid investment in shoring up security, and
potentially both compensation payments and government-issued penalties — may not
always be immediate, glaring red strikes on a balance sheet.
Instead, the true damage and cost of a data breach can be felt for years. The
report says that, on average, 67 percent of expenses are realized during the
first 12 months post-breach; 22 percent accrued during the second year, and 11
percent can take over two years to become apparent.
Geography can make a difference -- as companies based in the US can also expect
a higher bill to rectify the damage a data breach causes. On average, costs can
reach up to $8.19 million.
Companies face a penalty of up to $150 per record stolen. When over one million
records have been stolen, for example, this can cost up to $42 million -- and 50
million records may result in a bill of up to $388 million.
According to the report, it takes an organization 206 days to discover a data
breach and a further 73 days to completely contain it.
IBM says that malicious data breaches are still more common than those caused by
system errors or human folly, accounting for 49 percent of recorded security
incidents. In addition, malicious attacks average over $1 million more than
accidental data breaches.

Canada's Crime Rate Spiked in 2018, But Country Still Safer Than A Decade Ago
Increase Driven by Higher Rates of Fraud, Shoplifting & Theft
The rate and severity of crime both ticked up in 2018, for a fourth year in a
row, according to Statistics Canada. The national statistics agency said Monday
the overall crime rate was up two per cent over last year, with over two
million incidents reported by police in 2018. The severity of crime also rose
by two per cent.
But Statistics Canada noted both the rate and severity of crime were still
substantially lower than they were a decade ago, both down 17 per cent compared
with 2008.
The crime rate in Canada peaked in 1991 and has been in dramatic decline since
then, falling by more than 50 per cent until 2014. Since 2014, however, the rate
is up just over eight per cent. Most of the movement in the crime rate is the
result of changes in non-violent crime.
The increase in the severity of crime from 2017 to 2018 was largely because
of higher rates of fraud, shoplifting, other thefts and sexual assault,
according to the Statistics Canada report.

'A serious problem': Edmonton saw 31% jump in shoplifting offences in 2018
Reported shoplifting offences increased by one-third in Edmonton in 2018,
leading to a slight increase of the city's crime severity index, despite a drop
in the number of homicides. The shoplifting rate increased by 31 per cent in
Edmonton in 2018. The provincial rate increased by 22 per cent during the
same period.

Bystander training gains traction in Canada as tool to prevent sexual
harassment, violence in the workplace
Bystander intervention training has been used for years at universities and
colleges to prevent sexual assault, but trainers say it is gaining traction in
Canadian workplaces.
The aim is to prevent sexual harassment, violence, or any other inappropriate
behaviour, by training people how to recognize potentially dangerous situations
– and intervene. Strategies include telling the offender that their behaviour
is inappropriate, starting an unrelated conversation with the person being
harassed, creating a distraction or asking the victim afterwards if they need
help.
Ms. Gartley isn’t sure if bystander intervention training for her co-workers
could have prevented her alleged assault, but it could have made things easier
to handle. Most of her former co-workers were good people, as are those she has
worked with over the years, she adds, and many people would have helped if they
knew how.

Kamloops, BC: Blind man plans to file human rights complaint after he was
arrested for refusing to remove guide dog from gas station
 A
late night stop for a coffee in Kamloops, B.C., last month quickly got out of
hand when a gas station attendant refused service to a blind man because he
had his guide dog in the store.
"I explained to the clerk that it was a guide dog and by law we were allowed to
be in the store," Fulton told Daybreak Kamloops host Shelley Joyce. "He insisted
that his manager had given him very strict instructions that no dogs at all were
allowed."
The Human Rights Code in B.C., says a person
cannot be denied access to a service on the basis of a number of things,
including physical disability. Fulton, being a law student, was aware of this
and plans to file a complaint with B.C.'s Human Rights Tribunal.

IACC president warns of ‘distressingly high’
ecommerce counterfeit numbers
The overall volume of illicit sales from ecommerce sites “remains distressingly
high”, according to International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition (IACC) president
Bob Barchiesi.
Testifying before the US House Judiciary Committee on the threats counterfeits
pose, Barchiesi said the IACC has seen “some progress” in its efforts to address
the trafficking of counterfeit goods on ecommerce sites.
However, he warned there much more than “can and should be done to ensure that
the online ecosystem is one that can be trusted by both consumers and legitimate
businesses”.
Of the issues IACC members addressed related to fake goods being distributed via
ecommerce platforms, Barchiesi said the chief among these concerns were related
to “the on-boarding and vetting of sellers, the need for more comprehensive data
sharing among relevant stakeholders, and the need to ensure that the penalties
imposed upon bad actors are both meaningful and permanent”.

Try Before You Buy: Great Opportunity or
Ecommerce Returns Tsunami Risk?
Try before you buy (TBYB) is a growing strategy that plays on this tendency and
can increase ecommerce sales. But like many other approaches it’s a two-edged
sword.
On one hand, the average basket size of an ecommerce order increases 22%
and consumers will buy 3-5 more items per month if TBYB is available, according
to research from Brightpearl. On the other hand, the rate for ecommerce
returns can be 3-4x higher than for store purchases. Combine that with
increased shipping costs, and most retailers freak out about their shrinking
margins.
So how do you take advantage of the TBYB opportunity while escaping the
potential pitfalls?
At Ecommerce
Operations Summit 2019, an expert panel discussed their winning strategies.
Here are seven tips they offered on improving your returns process and
instituting TBYB.
Tip #1: Get ahead of the problem by identifying the reasons for returns
Tip #2: If you have a high return rate, slow down and take a closer look
at margins
Tip #3: Avoid margin erosion with a calculated free shipping (and
returns) threshold
Tip #4: Use alternative ecommerce returns methods to lower costs and
improve the customer experience
Tip #5: Lower your return costs instead of passing a fee onto the
customer
Tip #6: Invest in a WMS and centralize your data
Tip #7: Automate everyday operations so you can manage by exception

Shootings & Deaths
Pittsburgh, PA: Suspect killed, State Drug Agent
wounded outside Big Lots in Ross Township
An undercover officer with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office was
wounded early Tuesday afternoon in a shooting at a Ross shopping plaza that left
the suspect in a drug investigation dead, police said. The narcotics agent was
conducting a drug sting in the parking lot in front of the Big Lots on McKnight
Road when he was shot twice by the target of the investigation. The officer is
recovering in the hospital from the non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Authorities identified the suspect who died as Omari Ali Thompson, 31, of
Pittsburgh.

Riverdale, GA: Police Officer shoots suspected
shoplifter at Home Depot
GBI Investigators responded to an officer-involved shooting at a Home Depot in
Riverdale. According to authorities, two Riverdale police officers responded
around 11:20 a.m. to a possible theft at the store off Lamar Hutcheson Parkway.
When officers arrived, they got into some sort of "physical altercation" with
the suspect, 42-year-old Terry Bradshaw, before he was able to break away.
Investigators said Bradshaw ran to a pickup truck located in the parking lot and
tried to drive away. That's when the second officer fired at him, hitting the
42-year-old, according to the GBI. He was transported to Atlanta Medical Center
and is in serious condition. A woman was inside the car and was not hurt. She
was taken in for questioning. Officials say both officers were wearing body
cameras, so the GBI is going through that footage, now, to take a look at what
happened.

ends in gunfire, arrest
A Georgia woman is in custody after the owner of a McDonald’s in Garden City
said she fired a gun inside the restaurant. The restaurant owner says the woman

into the floor. The owner says he gave the woman a refund and she left. Police
arrived at the scene at about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday and learned the woman had left.

Detroit, MI: Innocent man shot, clerk 'detained'
after alleged potato chip theft
A 22-year-old man is recovering from his injuries after police say he was shot
by a gas station clerk on Detroit's west side in what "appears" to have been a
misfire. The clerk, police say, had pulled a gun to stop a suspected potato chip
thief. The shooting was at about 10:35 p.m. at a Shell gas station on the 17700
block of West Warren. Police say the victim was leaving the gas station just as
another man had allegedly stolen "several bags" of potato chips. The 27-year-old
male clerk followed the suspected thief and fired a shot through the store's
front glass door, striking the victim in the chest. The victim, though, was not
the alleged thief. Police detained the store clerk. Police also arrested the
alleged chip thief, whose age was not immediately available.

Billings, MT: Man pleads Guilty to murder of 18
year old Video Store employee in 1998 to cover up Robbery
Zachary David O'Neill pleaded guilty Tuesday to killing 18-year-old Miranda
Fenner, who was stabbed to death at a Laurel video store in 1998. Fenner managed
to drag herself to the store's main entrance, where passers-by found her. The
case has been featured on the Discovery Channel, "The Montel Williams Show” and
Community Seven Television in Billings. Tuesday’s court hearing was scheduled as
a status hearing in an attempted homicide case against O’Neill, who was also
accused of attacking, raping and cutting the throat of a newspaper carrier
before leaving her for dead on Billings' West End on the morning of Sept. 5,
1998. He admitted Tuesday to that attempted homicide and rape charge, and was
then arraigned in the Fenner case and pleaded guilty.

Council Bluffs, IA: Grocery store employee
missing for 10 years found behind store's cooler
Earlier this year, workers removing shelves and coolers from a closed
supermarket in Council Bluffs, Iowa discovered a body. The remains were recently
identified as those of 25-year-old Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada, a former employee
at ‘No Frills Sumpermarket’ who had been reported missing nearly a decade ago.
Council Bluffs police believe Murillo-Moncada climbed a cooler and somehow fell
behind it, leaving him trapped. Police say the gap was about 18 inches between
the cooler and the wall. Employees say Larry wasn't scheduled to work that day,
so no one knew he was there. Hours before he vanished, his parents told police
he was just upset and ran out of their home. Investigators believe his death was
an accident. They say this is one of the oddest cases they've worked on. State
authorities were able to identify Murillo-Moncada using DNA from his parents.
Iowa medical examiners have ordered an autopsy.

$55,172 worth of counterfeit Samsung and Apple chargers, as well as earphones.
