In fact this time it had nearly wiped out the department’s net profit in sales. Worse it couldn’t be attributed to damage or improper handling of markdowns or even to shoplifting. The only possibility was in-house theft.
Fanuchi ordered chief of security Matt Katwalski to instruct his security people to keep a special eye on jewelry department employees as they went about their business. She also instructed that packages, purses, and other containers employees carried with them be searched when workers left the store. When these measure failed to turn up any leads,

I don’t know , fanucchi replied
Of course, said katwalski, it wont be chep. But you don’t want this problem spreading to other departments, do you? Fanuchi didn’t
One other thing, katwalski it wont be cheap. But you don’t want this problem spreading to other departments, do you? Fanuchi didn’t.
One other thing, katwalski said , I think we should install some microphones in the restroom, stockroom, and employee lounge.

    William Nashwinter was appointed as a salesperson in the Doughtie’s foods inc. in the late 1970s. He was a young and ambitious man. His hard work soon promoted him to a general manager position in the Gravins Division of Doughtie’s. It was a large warehouse which wholesaled frozen food products to retail outlets. Nashwinter realized that managing a big wholesale was a difficult job and he started getting complains from the headquarters of his poor performances. Nashwinter tried hard to improve the situation but he didn’t see any improvement. Eventually, he started making false inventory on his monthly performance reports to headquarters. Nashwinter increased the gross profits by increasing inventory balance and reducing cost of goods sold. He thought that the Division will make enough profit one day to justify his fake numbers but that day never came. Finally, in 1982, Nashwinter told his superior about inflating the inventory account and he was fired immediately. After determining the inventory errors in Gravin’s accounting records, it was found that Doughtie’s 1980 and 1981 income was overstated by 15 percent and 39 percent respectively.…
