This

I'm a manager at redlobster and we would never let on that anybody told of the person stealing and instead begin watching.
It would be wrong to put the one snitching in an embarrassing or even dangerous position.
Not to mention you cant fire somebody without any solid proof.

We keep excellent track of our inventory and when time goes by(2 months or so) and lets say steaks or lobster tails start to go up missing we take steps to figure it out without anyone snitching.

But more often than not the snitch plays a role in helping.
I'll give you the most common situation at my store thru the yrs.

We have at times 15 dishwashers in a whole, on a Friday night 5 are on.
Now all these guys often argue amongst themselves and once in awhile the one most upset will turn on another who is possibly stealing.
The upset person turns on the stealer telling us this person is stealing.

So we begin to watch this person and in time usually at close we will see a closing dishwasher step out of the freezer with his coat on or gym bag in hand.
Since we have the right to inspect his bag and with the knowledge we have from the snitch we wait to catch him red handed this of course is an automatic firing.

Nobody knows but the manager staff and the snitch who did it more out of hatred for the guy than honor avoids any embarrassment or danger.

I'm not picking on our dishwashers either you can substitute dishwasher with cook,wait staff. bartender its all the same someone gets upset and snitches to us.

The inmates take care of the Jail

Of course theres no stopping stealing completely our store has 125 employees.
As I type this at home I know full well there are wait staff walking out with sugar packets to coffee its the nature of the beast.

At meetings and such we try to remind employees stealing from work is NO different than stealing from a grocery store.

Sadly this Friday I have to run a full staff meeting on a different subject that's gotten out of control.
Good old sexual harassment.
Time to remind people exactly what it is, its getting pretty relaxed in our store again some girls are not liking it.

A simple reminder is would you say that to so and so waitress if your wife was standing here...

Anyhow sorry to jump to another subject.

But stealing is stealing
Here at my store we often rely on the inmates taking care of the jail...it works.

The camera ideas not bad even a fake camera can help a lot.
Real cameras are Extremely expensive to put throughout a redlobster..a few have them but most do not.

You did the right thing even if you didn't lay it all out on the table for the owner.
