  1. Changes all the prices to 100x, so a single case of beer will be $900-1800.
  2. Give every customer a spin on the wheel, to see what their discount is!
  3. 99% chance to spin 99% off. If someone happens to get unlucky, just have them spin again.

So the thieves would be limited to stealing 1/100th, or risk felony.

There's probably something obvious that I'm missing.

Truck comes in at 5 am, hire a guard. Hell, it's a store in the hood, you're going to have a guard in the lobby all working hours anyway, because of everyday chimpouts (in front of and behind the counter.) Also, one of the plans was to fence in the employee parking. Just fence in the dock while you are at it, and no trucks get unloaded while the fence gate is open.

The hoodrats are all on camera, 24/7. I'm also inclined to have a locker room where they change into work clothes, which don't have pockets for anything except the tablet they need to fill orders.

Not going to get robbed blind, because we aren't dealing in cash. Cards only. There's no cash on the premises. You only have cash? There's a 7-11 right there on the corner. Go buy a debit card.

Shoplifting is your major shrinkage. This solves that. There's no one coming to rob you in a place that has no cash. There's no real mafia in this part of the country, so we don't have hijackings and cigarette schemes.

surround your loading bay with razor wire, no need to hire a guard just man the fence yourself.

Even razor wire doesn't stop, it just slows down. You still need a guard.

This would make for an excellent TV show. It would be centered around the men and woman that run this store and work security. There would be constant warfare going on and schemes and robberies and strung out weirdos wandering around. "clean up on aisle six" and it's like dead bodies everywhere. Occasionally a decent person comes in to buy eggs for their family. That's who we do it for.

Back in the 90s, grocery stores ran on 3% profit. But potato chips and little debbie cakes are high markup, you could make these people eat what you sell and make a fortune.
