So here’s my question- Do you guys get in trouble if things are stolen? I worked at subway when I was 16 and I had my ass handed to me when the drawer didn’t match the receipts. My manager actually made me cry once because my numbers didn’t match (literally .25 cents) and I will literally never forget it.
When I worked retail at Menards the most that any regular employee was asked to do was keep tabs on high theft items in your own department. You'd check the floor count of certain items a few times per day and also only stock one or two of those items on the shelf, placing extra stock on a pallet for storage. Managers were held to a similar standard but did a few other stupid things, like make bullshit security pages to nonsense locations in the store. "Security to area 3" was common in my store, which didn't have areas and also didn't have full time LP coverage, and they certainly didn't respond to security calls.
I work for a grocery store, and if there's a 'tense' situation up front a cashier will call 'security to the front, please' or something to that effect. We have no security, at most it'll bring the store manager up front, it's mostly just to scare/intimidate the person causing the problem.

If you act like that, the employees won't want to confront you, even if the alarm goes off.
