Brazen Shoplifting and Traumatized Staff Impacting Company Profits: Best Buy CEO

 

Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said Tuesday that theft is a growing problem in the companyโ€™s stores, and the aggressive behavior displayed by shoplifters is โ€œtraumatizingโ€ staff members, which has led to retention issues in the otherwise tight labor market.

 

Barry told Wall Street analysts on a conference call to discuss earnings that criminals often carry in weapons like guns or crowbars and threaten employees and customers. Consumer electronics have reported an increase in organized crime, according to the CEO.
