Weekly Shrink Check for Store Managers

by Joseph Saint, from the Community

This weekly shrink checklist helps retail store managers identify and act on loss risks. Review waste handling and records, opening security, body camera usage, and void report insights. Check scorecards and DSS compliance, confirm no auto‑confirmed deliveries, and verify transfers for coffee, colleague rooms, pharmacy, PFS, and café. Ensure waste prints are available and dual signed, and that recorded and unrecorded waste is stored correctly. Confirm colleague searches, hold a shrink meeting with clear next steps, and maintain working security equipment. Capture actions and accountability to improve shrink results.
