Security and Fence: A Retail Perspective

December 06, 2019 by Joe Gray in Business, Cultural Musings, Ethics, Management, Retail Perspective

At a high-risk retail location such as the one I have been working at these past three years there comes a time when you are asked to be both a security guard for the products you sell and fence for the thieves that steal them.
