Also, your comment about "laziness" is, ironically enough, lazy in and of

ideas lack the energy to accomplish them, regardless of their role. It's
also true that some folks have convinced themselves these suggestions are
an intrusion somehow.

Crazy thought- how about suggesting your idea for a security benefit, rather
than merely tear down the ideas of others? Or is that asking too much? I'm
sure your reply will be Pulitzer worthy. Maybe try to reply with substance?

Not reading prior posts in the thread with other suggestions seems like something a lazy and disinterested person would do.

The solution that is most reasonable is more visible cameras and more visible security. These deter the majority of criminals.

Then everyone needs to be responsible for security of their own space.

One guy working the booth should never happen unless someone is going to the bathroom or grabbing food to bring back. Need multiple workers always.

Never hand cards to more than one person at a time. Make sure showcases are locked and back stock is secure. This could be as simple as having a case with a handle bike locked to a table leg or a standalone safe. Even simple deterrents such as moving cash box/envelope location often are usually not considered. I could go on and on. Nothing is incredibly difficult its just that most people don’t have the experience of dealing with people essentially trying to shoplift.

The majority of people (including cops and paid security officers) do not have the experience needed to prevent retail theft except by their existing and showing presence…which it’s important so this should always be the top priority of all shows.

Edit - but then you run in to situations (like sporting events now a days) where people don’t use cards or are too young for them.
