Fix Your Fixtures
In most cases, shoplifters require privacy in order to conceal merchandise. This is especially true with small specialty shops that the arrangement of the fixtures creates many areas for the shoplifter to be hidden from sight.
Determine where your staff spends the majority of their time. For many small stores this is near the cash register. For others, it might be near the phone, or the office.
Arrange you fixtures with the goal of minimizing "blind spots" on the sales floor. From their usual vantage point, your staff should be able to look down almost every aisle.
Once you have maximized visibility by arranging fixtures, consider installing a large convex mirror to view any unavoidable hiding places.
Next time you are in a convenience store, take note of the layout. Most allow direct visibility of the sales floor to a lone clerk, and mirrors expose the remaining areas.
