anybody else here work LP ? Im uniformed at a store, but use to work for a Macys inc store.

I worked LP for over 5 yrs for a dept store plain clothes, before I went with the PD, Had alot of fun as it was in a low class area, Lots of arrest and fights, and a womens dream getting paid to shop! or at least pretending to do so.

I dabbled in Security years ago starting out on a Campus, and almost went into Plain Clothes Investigations were you pose as a worker and do a daily report.  *snitch, lol'z.  Wasn't my Calling, but I did supervise at Bloomies restaurant for over 7 years PT, and juggled working at the Stadium. 

Bloomingdales and Macy's are sister companies intertwined by Federated, so if you ever move away from a Macy's, it would be an easy transition if your near a Bloomingdales.  You'll find most of your action is going to start around holidays.  Staff (like they do at the stadium) will try to walk out with money bags around this time, Boosters will be boosting.  Don't be fooled if the person has money, they manipulate price tags(then) and they steal too!!  These stores usually have an employee incentive when someone is caught stealing b/c of their tip, not sure if this applies to LP.  Bloomingdales went all the way up to $1,500.00.  I've seen a restaurant server rat out another server(they didn't get along to well, lol'z) for stealing checks+Cash patrons left on the Table.  Well one day she got issued a check of her own, for $1,200.00 after Security/LP ate there!!!

hahaha thats great. I take embezzlement cases all the time now. Cashiers taking thousands of dollars within their time frame they have been working at the store. Merchandise walking out the door during 3rd shifts...its crazy. When I switched stores I walked into a sh*t storm of employee theft cases. External cases (shoplifters) are always my favorite though.

My Employer at the Stadium thinks I'msupposed to multi-task between Managing and Security, thank God for the Cameras.  Monday nights Giants Game, we had a staff member take all the $20's out of a the large money bags-the ones with wheels.  This fool really thought he was going to non shalantly walk out of the stadium with about 6 G's. lmao, The NJSP Swarmed in after Security, I thought it was funny and thanked God it wasn't in my section, LOL!!

hahaha I KNOW!   I can't walk into my store and see a car out front (probably waiting to pick an old woman up lol) and the first thing that comes to mind is...."Ahhhh crap, I probably got a push out in progress." hahaha
