STM Weekly Checks Checklist

This STM Weekly Checks template supports retail store teams with routine controls that reduce shrink and improve compliance. It covers daily transfers (free items, colleague room, third-party café, milk machines, fuel station, and pharmacy), bread and milk returns, and unauthorised transfer checks. Waste controls include secure cages, sealed bags with prints, and signed line‑by‑line reviews. Backdoor security checks lockable paperwork, UOD verification, closed loading bays and gates, and visitor logging. News and magazines are verified with PDA check-in, timely returns, and waste report reconciliation. General shrink governance includes an up-to-date board, weekly stock loss meetings, key control, secure cages, door alarms, sealed fire exits, EAS gate logs, visitor badge tracking, CCTV operability, and meat reconciliation. Checkout controls verify EAS deactivation, secured de-taggers and SMART drawers, gated unmanned lanes, limited key access, and review of the self-service assistant audit report.
