The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact

ORC is the Hot Topic: NRF's Retail Gets Real Podcast
Retailers fight back against organized retail crime

Retail Gets Real episode 244: Tony Sheppard from ThinkLP on the pandemic’s impact and how retailers can tackle the issue

The retail industry has been dealing with organized retail crime for many years, but video footage of major incidents at large retail stores has brought increased media attention to the topic. As the complexity of these crimes has expanded, the necessary investment to counter them has as well. That’s led to retailers doing much of the work that traditionally has been handled by law enforcement, including locking up products and using GPS/RFID tags more often.

Tony Sheppard, director of loss prevention solutions at ThinkLP, has more than 27 years of experience working in loss prevention for retailers including CVS and Ulta Beauty, and has been working in the ORC field for over a decade. He joins Retail Gets Real to discuss how the pandemic has impacted the problem and how retailers can tackle the issue and plan for the future.

San Francisco's Crime-Filled Retail Reality
Private Guards, Enhanced Security, Massive Losses

The Globe talks with several shops and security experts about today’s retail reality in San Francisco

Throughout 2021 so far, the crime wave in San Francisco shows no signs in slowing down. In only the past few weeks, retail stores feeling the pinch have limited their investment and stores in the city, with Walgreens pulling out 22 stores, Safeway reducing hours, and others, like Target, looking at more stores to potentially leave the city.

However, while the large chains frequently make the news, the exodus of smaller stores out of the city or closing up shop isn’t often highlighted. High crime in the Mission District has forced out many iconic stores in the last several years, but with high crime rates continuing, and stores reporting losses due to robberies going unchecked, the rate hasn’t gone down. Some crimes, like car break-ins, have become so prevalent that there is now a car glass shortage in San Francisco. With no other options, retailers are now either hunkering down or leaving.

Jenny Kim, a store owner in the city, added that security systems and even security guards are now popping up.

“Places with money, like the big chain stores, they have security guards. A lot of us can’t afford that luxury, even if several of us band together for a group guard, so we rely on security systems,” noted Kim. “And I can’t blame the police. They do what they can. It’s just city policy now doesn’t go after these people as much, so they feel safe enough to do things like this.”

Crime in San Francisco

For many shop owners it means leaving San Francisco: “Chesa Boudin’s policies of not going after criminals made me move to Los Angeles,” said Alec Joyce, a restaurant owner who is currently in the process of moving his Irish-themed restaurant from San Francisco to Santa Monica.

Although new city policies on crime, as well as the possible recall of Boudin and demise of his non-prosecution system next year, could cut city crime rates, for at least the near future, this is the new norm in the city. californiaglobe.com

Crime & Policing: More Election Fallout
Law and order prevail as pro-crime Democrats lose big

Anti-police progressives got trounced across the nation, from Long Island to Seattle.

This follows the primary win of Hizzoner-elect Eric Adams: New York City’s second black mayor will take office having vowed from the start to stop crime, progressives be damned.

The trend continued on Long Island, where anger over the no-bail law sent Democrats to defeat in the Nassau and Suffolk county DA races.

In Nassau, career local prosecutor Anne Donnelly overwhelmed Democratic state Sen. Todd Kaminsky, who voted for the 2019 law that eliminated most cash bail, 60 percent to 40 percent. In Suffolk, Republican Ray Tierney trounced Democratic incumbent District Attorney Tim Sini, 57 percent to 43 percent, with bail reform again a key issue.

In Seattle, Republican candidates for city attorney and pro-police candidate for mayor held large leads on Wednesday — a clear repudiation of their rivals’ anti-policing plans. Ann Davison, who vowed more prosecutions for low-level crimes as city attorney, drew 58 percent against Nicole Thomas-Kennedy, who called for abolishing the current criminal-justice system. In the mayoral race, “Hire more cops” moderate Bruce Harrell was at 65 percent vs. #Defunder Lorena Gonzalez.

In Minneapolis, where George Floyd died at police hands, voters rejected a proposal to replace the city’s police department with a new Department of Public Safety and at least two pro-Defund City Council members went down in defeat.

And in Pennsylvania’s Westmoreland County, pro-police Nicole Ziccarelli beat Democrat John Peck to become the first Republican to hold the office in decades. nypost.com

Red Alert from Across the Pond?
Europe Could See "Another Half A Million Covid Deaths" By February
The rising number of cases of Covid-19 in Europe is of "grave concern" and the region could see another half a million deaths by early next year, the World Health Organization warned on Thursday.

"The current pace of transmission across the 53 countries of the European Region is of grave concern," WHO Europe director Hans Kluge told a press conference, adding that one reliable projection would mean "another half a million COVID-19 deaths," by February if the current trajectory continued.

The WHO's European Region spans 53 countries and territories and includes several nations in Central Asia. ndtv.com

OSHA: Employers have 60 days to mandate COVID-19 vaccines
Biden administration sets a Jan. 4 vax deadline for private sector workers
Employers with more than 100 employees will need to implement a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for their employees — and offer a weekly testing alternative to those who refuse or are unable to receive a vaccine — presumably by Jan. 4, 2022, according to an emergency temporary standard issued Thursday by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

In determining whether they meet the 100-employees threshold, employers must include all employees across all of their U.S. locations, regardless of employees’ vaccination status or where they perform their work, per the ETS. Part-time employees do count towards the company total, but independent contractors do not. Additional sections of the ETS detail how the threshold should be determined in situations involving franchisees, multi-employer workplaces and staffing agencies.

All covered employers are required by the ETS to bear the cost of providing up to four hours of paid time and reasonable paid sick leave needed to support vaccination, but where an employee chooses to remain unvaccinated, the ETS does not require employers to pay for the costs associated with regular COVID-19 testing or the use of face coverings. Some employees may be entitled to reasonable accommodation from their employer, absent undue hardship, due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief. Stakeholders have until 30 days after the date of the rule’s publication to submit public comments.

The plan was first announced in September by President Biden, who directed the Labor Department to invoke its emergency powers over the safety of workplaces to require businesses with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccinations for all employees. Workers who refuse to get vaccinated must undergo weekly testing.

Mr. Biden has previously imposed vaccine requirements on federal workers and companies that receive federal contracts. But the new rule covering employees of all large private businesses is a more dramatic use of his executive power, prompting some state officials to criticize the move and threaten to try to stop them.

Among the businesses that have yet to issue a requirement for all employees are the nation’s largest employer, Walmart, which is mandating vaccines mainly for its corporate staff members, and JPMorgan Chase, which has more than 120,000 employees in offices and bank branches across the United States and is encouraging but not broadly mandating vaccinations. nytimes.com hrdive.com shrm.org

Retail Issues Quick Response
NRF Issues Statement on Administration’s Vaccine Requirement for U.S. Employers
The National Retail Federation today issued the following statement from Senior Vice President for Government Relations David French in response to the issuance of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s new emergency temporary standard. The new federal rules will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated or tested weekly for COVID-19.

“Over the past 19 months, retailers across the country have taken extraordinary measures to keep their employees, customers and communities safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of these efforts, retailers have distributed, encouraged, incentivized and, in some instances, mandated the vaccine. Since the president’s announcement of the vaccine mandate for private industry, the seven-day average number of cases in the United States has plummeted by more than half. Nevertheless, the Biden administration has chosen to declare an ‘emergency’ and impose burdensome new requirements on retailers during the crucial holiday shopping season.

“As an industry that supports one in four American jobs, retailers have consistently requested that the administration take public comment on this new vaccine mandate. Last month, NRF met with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and stressed the importance of feasibility of implementation for employers. It is critical that the rule not cause unnecessary disruption to the economy, exacerbate the preexisting workforce shortage or saddle retailers, who are already taking considerable steps to keep their employees and customers safe, with needless additional requirements and regulatory burdens.”

Last month, NRF sent a detailed letter to Labor Secretary Marty Walsh outlining the retail industry’s concerns about and recommendations for the emergency temporary standard. Subsequently, NRF sent a letter to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and was granted a meeting with administration officials. nrf.com

'Frenzied Legal Battle' Coming Over Biden's Vaccine Mandate
Analysis: Wide array of opponents prepare to fight Biden vaccine mandate
The country's first national COVID-19 vaccine mandate, expected to be unveiled by the Biden administration this week, is likely to unleash a frenzied legal battle that will hinge on a rarely used law and questions over federal power and authority over healthcare.

States, companies, trade groups, civil liberty advocates and religious organizations are expected to rush to court with demands to stop the mandate in its tracks. Two dozen Republican state attorneys general have already vowed to use "every legal option" to fight the mandate and 40 Republican lawmakers said on Wednesday they were preparing their own challenge.

Details of the vaccine and testing requirements for private employers remain under wraps. The administration has said that the rule is coming and that it requires certain businesses to "develop, implement and enforce" a mandatory policy that allows employees to either choose to get vaccinated or undergo regular testing and wear a face covering at work.

For opponents, the general principle could not be more clear: the administration's zeal for fighting the pandemic with vaccinations and testing has trampled the law and the Constitution.

"There will be so much litigation it will never see the light of day," said Josh Blackman, a professor at South Texas College of Law Houston.

Some legal experts, however, said protecting against a historic public health crisis provides a compelling justification for the mandate against constitutional challenges that claim it infringes on individual or state rights. reuters.com

No Vax, No Service
LA's Strict Vaccine Mandate Begins Taking Effect

Beginning Monday, an even more expansive vaccination-verification ordinance will take effect in the city of Los Angeles.

Patronizing or working in an indoor bar, winery, brewery, nightclub or lounge in Los Angeles County will require proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 beginning Thursday.

The county mandate was phased in beginning in early October, when workers and patrons at such adult-oriented businesses were required to show proof of at least one dose of COVID vaccine. But starting Thursday, everyone will have to have proof of full vaccination and present a photo ID.

Beginning Monday, an even more expansive vaccination-verification ordinance will take effect in the city of Los Angeles. That ordinance will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination for entry to indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, shopping centers, entertainment venues and personal care establishments within the city. The ordinance does not include grocery stores or pharmacies.

The city ordinance is believed to be the strictest law of its kind in the country, however, questions still remain on how the city plans to enforce the requirement. City officials have suggested the Department of Building and Safety is the most logical enforcement agency, however, that department lacks the personnel to conduct such enforcement.

Businesses violating the city ordinance would be issued a $1,000 fine for a second violation, $2,000 fine for a third violation and a $5,000 fine for a fourth violation. nbclosangeles.com

When will L.A. County lift its mask mandate? Here’s what needs to happen
Los Angeles County has unveiled the criteria necessary to retire the public mask mandate it imposed months ago to combat the latest COVID-19 surge.

The county’s criteria are strict: They require coronavirus community transmission to fall significantly below current levels, the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 to decline and stay low and more people to complete their vaccination series. Even then, masks could be removed only in select indoor public settings if everyone present is fully vaccinated.

For indoor public settings with fewer than 1,000 people, businesses or hosts would be allowed to lift indoor mask requirements only if they ensure that all employees and customers are fully vaccinated and have a process in place to verify that. The mask mandate would still apply to indoor events with more than 1,000 people. latimes.com

Who will be NYC’s next top cop? Here’s who’s on Eric Adams’ shortlist of candidates
Mayor-elect Eric Adams is mulling a short list of candidates — including frontrunners former Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best, Philadelphia top cop Danielle Outlaw and former Newark Police Chief Ivonne Roman — to take the reins of the NYPD, The Post has learned.

The diverse list of successors for Police Commissioner Dermot Shea — the third white Irish-American cop under Mayor Bill de Blasio — has been narrowed down to six to eight women, multiple sources with knowledge of the nationwide search told The Post.

Leading the pack are Best, Outlaw and Roman, and the Adams campaign started making calls to candidates last week to gauge interest, sources said.

“It is a true nationwide search but it’s mostly going to come down to a few candidates, including Outlaw and Best,” a source said.

“They are both extraordinary police officers. Outlaw has more executive experience, while Best is viewed as a cops’ cop who is liked by Fox News and MSNBC viewers.” nypost.com

Best Retail Workplaces
How the Best Workplaces in Retail retain employees amid the Great Resignation

Dick’s Sporting Goods doesn’t play games with employee safety.

Disputes and altercations between customers and retail workers overall have intensified over the past year and a half, as front-line employees in different retail sectors have tried to enforce mask and vaccination rules.

Amid the rising tension, Dick’s has demonstrated it has employees’ backs. The company, which is based outside of Pittsburgh and has more than 850 stores and 50,000 employees across the United States, has a “zero-tolerance” stance regarding disrespectful behavior toward team members. This includes a hotline number for employees to call if they feel they have not been treated with dignity and respect. Customers who shop in the store also can use the hotline.

The stance empowers store managers to escort customers from the premises when efforts to de-escalate conflicts do not succeed, says Paloma DeNardis, head of inclusion and diversity at Dick’s.

“There have been instances where we have asked customers not to return to our stores because they weren’t able to treat people with respect,” DeNardis says.

The way Dick’s has protected front-line staffers in challenging times helps explain why the company hasn’t seen employees leave in droves—something retailers as a whole have experienced. And while job applications dipped to half the usual volume earlier in the pandemic, the company continues to attract a healthy candidate pool.

Given Dick’s treatment of employees and success at retaining talent, it’s not surprising the company earned a place on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail 2021 list.

Apple Retaliation Lawsuit
Fired #AppleToo organizer files labor charge against the company

Janneke Parrish says Apple retaliated against her for organizing

Janneke Parrish, a leader of the #AppleToo movement, has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the company, alleging the tech giant fired her in retaliation for organizing.

Parrish created the #AppleToo platform to help colleagues air their concerns with Apple’s culture of “pervasive sexism” and pay equity (as reported in the Aug. 27th Daily). Then, in October, she was fired, allegedly for failing to comply with a workplace investigation into leaks.

Parrish says the company terminated her based on “false and pretextual reasons” — namely because she “spoke up regarding her personal experiences regarding workplace concerns and helped give voice to her co-workers’ concerns in a workplace where such issues have been systematically siloed, suppressed, and unaddressed.”

“It seems like all the tech companies are using the same playbook,” says labor attorney Laurie Burgess. “They get rid of outspoken organizers by asserting they are responsible for a leak without any proof or documentation that that person was indeed responsible. My client denies having leaked this information.” Burgess is also representing the fired and suspended Netflix organizers, as well as prominent Google organizers.

This is the seventh unfair labor practice charge that has been filed against Apple since August. theverge.com washingtonpost.com

Insider Threat Management
Insider Threats: An Age-Old Problem
Chris Krebs, previous CISA Director, recently spoke about this issue and called for legislation to crack down on insider threats, stating, “When you’re talking about companies that are providing a service to the federal government — not just the Department of Defense but the civilian agencies as well — I would expect to see enhanced requirements not just on the external threat management, but also insider threat management.”

Insider threats are indeed an issue — not just for defense contractors, but arguably for any organization with sensitive information.

Not All Insiders Are Malicious

Some insiders are malicious and can be financially motivated to exploit their access to sensitive data and systems. It’s important to have practices (e.g., ongoing background checks) and tooling (e.g., behavioral analytics) to help identify insiders that pose a risk.

However, it’s essential to recognize that insider threats are not always intentional or due to malicious intent. For example, an insider with excessive access permissions could be a significant risk if they are hacked. Understanding who represents a risk to the organization based on role, access to information, and more is critical to understanding, protecting against and monitoring potential threats within your organization.

Employee Churn

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employees change jobs 12 times on average over their careers. Median employee tenure for men is 4.3 years, compared to 4 years for women. This means that employees that have valuable insider information today may work for your competitor tomorrow.

This scenario is aggravated by a recent phenomenon dubbed "the Great Resignation," which has resulted in an estimated 4 million Americans quitting their jobs in July 2021 alone, likely due to pandemic burnout. This mass migration — which shows no signs of slowing — will likely exacerbate the normal employee churn problem and could result in the compromise or loss of sensitive company information.

Remote Work & Cybersecurity Risks
Insider Threats Are On The Rise – Even In The Virtual Workplace
More than a year and a half after the COVID-19 pandemic began, countless workers are still doing their jobs remotely rather than from their offices. While there are many positives to working from home, there can also be some negatives at play like nefarious actors taking advantage of the tools and connections that employees use in work from home environments.

Insider threats, a security risk that comes from within the organization, are posing a major security problem for businesses. This is partially due to the widespread use of social media, encrypted communication platforms, and other tools. Now more than ever insider threats need to be identified, thwarted, and prevented.

Disregarding Company Policies

One reason insiders might act against their own organization involves monetary gain. The pressures of the pandemic have led to record levels of unemployment and financial strain for millions of Americans. Financial issues can include struggling to pay for childcare, supporting family obligations, paying rent and more. Those who find themselves in a financial bind might not just act against their own company but could also more easily fall victim to a threat.

Potentially Malicious Insiders

Another challenge employers face directly relates to the somewhat limited supervision of employees who work remotely. In this situation, identifying potentially malicious insiders is more difficult, largely because face-to-face interactions are limited. When the pandemic began, many companies shifted their primary areas of focus to keeping the business viable, which is understandable. However, with this shift of focus, less attention may have been paid to security issues. securityinformed.com

Blind Spot for Risky Activity
80% of organizations report employee abuse of access to business applications
New research released by CyberArk reveals that organizations continue to operate with limited visibility into user activity and sessions associated with web applications, despite the ever-present risk of insider threats and credential theft. While the adoption of web applications has brought flexibility and increased productivity, organizations often lag in implementing the security controls necessary to mitigate risk of human error or malicious intent.

The survey of 900 enterprise security leaders found that 80% of organizations experienced employees misusing or abusing access to business applications in the past year. This comes as 48% of organizations surveyed said they have limited ability to view user logs and audit user activity, leaving a blind spot for catching potentially risky behavior in user sessions.

Consider financial, healthcare, marketing or developer web applications that contain sensitive, high-value data like financial records, customer or patient information or intellectual property. Most security and compliance teams have limited resources, visibility and control over how confidential data is being handled, or what is being done during a user session.

According to the research, in 70% of organizations, the average end-user has access to more than 10 business applications, many of which contain high-value data, creating ample opportunity for a malicious actor. To that end, the top-three high-value applications that organizations were most concerned with protecting against unauthorized access were IT service management apps.

For many security teams, investigation into questionable user activity represents a significant investment of time and drag on thin resources, and must be balanced with other priorities such as improving incident response and enforcing consistent controls across applications to reduce threat of credential theft. securitymagazine.com

Private Sector Urged to Review New Government Cyber Directive

Addressing a government-issued list of known vulnerabilities should be a high priority for companies, cyber specialists say

Senior U.S. government officials urged companies to patch cybersecurity vulnerabilities outlined in a sweeping order for federal agencies to fix known software flaws, some of which have been exploited by hackers for years.

A list published Wednesday by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency highlights which software vulnerabilities government agencies should give priority to. But patching them on tight time frames could be difficult for organizations that rely on aging technology, cybersecurity experts say. wsj.com

Cannabis & Crime
How Does Legal Cannabis Impact Crime?
As legalization has become more common, many studies have been conducted to examine the effect of cannabis legalization on crime. Though some studies have revealed a reduction in crime rates in areas with cannabis dispensaries, others have shown an increase or no change at all. These mixed results in studying the connection between cannabis and crime is likely due to differences in established cannabis programs, with some states opting for medical-use only while others have legalized adult-use as well. Additionally, medical and adult-use programs across the country vary greatly in regards to regulations, oversight, and size.

Medical Marijuana and Crime
Since the legalization of medical-use often pre-dates adult-use, most of the studies into the relationship between cannabis and crime have been conducted in states with only medical marijuana. States like Washington, Colorado, and California acted as early test subjects and, so far, most studies have shown that medical marijuana dispensaries have no impact on crime rates and can sometimes even reduce them. One study published in the Economic Journal concluded that crimes, including robberies, murders and aggravate assaults have all dropped by around 13 percent in areas close to medical marijuana states.

Recreational Cannabis and Crime
While results on the impact of medical marijuana on crime has been mixed, this is even more true for recreational cannabis. Some research does indicate a reduction in crime, but more often, research suggests that recreational cannabis has no impact on crime. This is evident in a study conducted in California from RAND Corporation which found “no relationship between county laws that legally permit dispensaries and reported violent crime.” Though opponents of cannabis fear that recreational cannabis facilities could attract crime and increase the number of robberies, burglaries, and property crimes, RAND’s research indicates the opposite.

Conclusion
The mixed results from studies on the impact of cannabis dispensaries on crime are likely due to the variations in programs between states, and in some states, between counties. In addition to the common differences in medical and recreational programs, some areas have opted for strict security regulations and oversight, while others have adopted relatively lax rules in comparison. Additionally, factors like high tax rates and lack of access can allow black market operators to undercut legal prices. cannabisbusinessexecutive.com

Cannabis Security Training
Security training for cannabis dispensaries is effective, accessible & affordable

Online training can fit any schedule or shift and builds confidence and efficient operations

Earlier this year, an individual in Oregon killed his father in an RV park, took his truck and during his escape drove over an elderly couple from Pensacola, Florida killing the husband. He then drove to a cannabis dispensary in North Bend Oregon and shot and killed a 47-year-old woman. The suspect was arrested the following day 2,000 miles away in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This incident demonstrated that problems may not originate because the location is a cannabis dispensary and that dispensaries are not immune from outside, sometimes unrelated problems.

If you train your security people and you do have a problem, hopefully, the training will help to minimize the damage, but problems are still serious. However, if you don’t train your security personnel and there is an issue, that could be extremely serious – and costly. The lack of training to help prevent and mitigate an issue can create liability issues. Why didn’t you prepare? With high-quality training readily and cost-efficiently available through online sources, it’s practically negligent to not take advantage of the opportunities.

Security Training is a No-Brainer

A key to maintaining a problem-free organization is to make sure that your people are competent and know what they are doing. This is especially important in the marijuana business, where the product is high value and the customer base may be potentially problematic.

From a security standpoint, training is necessary across two very specific areas – security operations and firearms. In both cases, most states mandate a basic level of training, and in both cases, the mandated training is extraordinarily inadequate to meet the needs of most cannabis dispensaries.

With security operations, the state-required training to acquire a “security officer” license is minimal. State-mandated security officer training generally covers requirements to simply meet the state standards but usually doesn’t cover the skill set needed to be an effective security officer. securityinfowatch.com

Creating and Managing Security Guard Post Orders
It is important for any cannabis business with employed or outsourced security personnel on site to create post orders. Post orders are basically a description of the priority of the duties while on-shift, and how to relieve/be relieved of duty, if necessary. Post orders are specific to each physical location, as each location will have different areas of vulnerability based on its function and set-up.

Creating Security Guard Post Orders

To efficiently and effectively create post orders it is imperative that you know every nook and cranny of the operation itself. A lot of us in the cannabis industry are dealing with a retro-fit building that was not specifically designed to accommodate a cannabis business, and some less-than-desirable situations when it comes to securing the operation. It is also important to walk the property with at least the security lead, while documenting and discussing potential vulnerabilities so that everyone is clear on how they should be handled. Once post orders are agreed upon by both parties, they will be documented, signed, and kept for record, as well as for immediate reference by the person on duty.

Managing Security Guard Post Orders

If there are ever any changes to be made to the post orders, it should require walking the property together, to the areas affected by the change, if necessary. It should also require a review of the new documentation, as well as a signature of both the security lead and the Head of Operations (whatever that means for your business). In most cases, you will have an initial set of post orders that will be amended once your security personnel become more familiar with the operation. It is imperative that constructive feedback is given, and heard, so that everyone can be more aware, safe, and secure together. sapphirerisk.com

Facebook is public enemy no.1
Investor calls for criminal charges & prison for Facebook execs
As tech world enters open revolt against social media

● Longtime Facebook investor Roger McNamee called for criminal probes into the company at Web Summit.

● His call, echoed by others, shows the tech world is in open revolt against its leading platforms.

● Nick Clegg, vice‑president for global affairs at Meta, defended Facebook at the conference.

When longtime Facebook investor Roger McNamee took the stage and called for six different criminal investigations into Facebook, and prison sentences for any executive found responsible, it became obvious that this year's Web Summit would be different from previous iterations of the annual Lisbon-based tech conference.

Normally, Web Summit is a largely apolitical gathering of tech startup founders, software nerds, hackers, and the venture capitalists who want to give them money.

The conference is huge — 80,000 people in some years — and it sprawls across four days on the shoreline of the Portuguese capital. Usually, the chatter is of initial public offerings, "scaling," valuations, and "exits".

Not this time. The tech world is now in open revolt against its own big platforms. This year, Facebook is public enemy no.1. Social media is now the devil. Much of the chatter among attendees is about how to kill social media, regulate Google, or detour around them both. businessinsider.com

Good Customers Gone Bad
Retailers Lose $89B Annually to Return Policy and Promotions Abuse

Many Ill-Prepared for 2020's e-Comm Surge & Increased Security Risks

Retailers are well aware that as technology makes it faster and easier for consumers to shop online, bad actors are not far behind in adopting their methods to new retail opportunities.

Many retailers are frustrated, however, by their inability to identify and block policy abuse by known customers at scale, according to a new PYMNTS report. In Beyond eCommerce Fraud: How Retailers Can Prevent Customer Policy Abuse, a PYMNTS and Forter collaboration, PYMNTS found policy abuse by customers costs retailers in the United States more than $89 billion annually. Ranging from false item-not-received (INR) claims to returns of items for a full refund after the customer has used the item but claims it was damaged, customer policy abuse is costly, persistent and challenging to track.

One of the most common types of customer policy abuse is also the easiest to commit, PYMNTS found. Promotion abuse is perhaps the easiest type of fraud for consumers to execute, as misused discount codes, free trials or scanned physical coupons can create “extreme” discounts that are used and reused well beyond their original intent.

PYMNTS found that the eCommerce surge of 2020 brought most companies with a digital storefront (87%) a wave of new retail customers, and many were ill-prepared for the security risks involved in a burgeoning online business. Retailers have worked to make online shopping easier for consumers, and this willingness to remove friction from shopping has amplified risk. As retailers provided customer experience features like instant credits for online INR claims and other liberal return policies, they faced a new wave of attacks from bad actors.

The losses incurred are significant.

$60M Amazon Settlement
Amazon Must Pay Thousands of Flex Drivers an Average of $422 After Tips Were Withheld

The payout comes as a result of a settlement with the FTC which alleged Amazon had withheld $61.7 million worth of tips between 2016-2019.

Starting today, the Federal Trade Commission will start doing something Amazon failed to do for around 140,000 of its Flex delivery drivers: pay them their tips.

In total, the FTC announced it will send nearly $60 million worth of withheld tips to drivers as part of a settlement with Amazon that was reached earlier this year. Drivers will receive an average payout of $422, with one driver set to receive more than $28,000. Nearly 20,000 of the drivers are expected to receive payments in excess of $600. The funds themselves are set to appear by way of 139,507 checks and 1,621 PayPal payments, according to the FTC.

The agency first launched its investigation into Amazon’s Flex practices in 2019 before filing a lawsuit alleging the company had withheld $61.7 million in tips from drivers between 2016 and 2019. The FTC’s suit claims Amazon lowered the hourly rate for its Flex drivers in late 2016 and used customer tips to make up the difference, all without disclosing the changes to drivers. Amazon had guaranteed its drivers they would receive 100% of their tips which clearly didn’t happen.

In its initial complaint, The FTC said Amazon “used tens of millions of dollars in customer tips to subsidize its payments to drivers,” and “continued to divert drivers’ tips during this time despite hundreds of driver complaints about the practice, critical media reports, and internal recognition that its conduct was a ‘reputation tinderbox.’” gizmodo.com

Active listening is absolutely critical if you really expect to influence change or modify behavior. You've got to hear what they're saying before you can plan or expect to do virtually anything. And hearing what they're saying is not simply hearing the words it's all about hearing the meaning and the intentions behind the words. Because words have a tendency to hide the true meanings and beliefs. As truth is often cloaked in humor so is meaning hidden in words. With the number one obstacle being one's self hearing is often drown out by how we want others to view us. So if you can leave your self at the door so to speak you can then begin to focus on hearing what they're saying.

Just a Thought,
Gus
