Inflation isn't the only thing driving prices up. Shoplifting, or retail theft which can now be classed as a felony, probably accounts for price hikes as much as inflationary forces, says Richard L. Shanaman, president of the association. "Losses due to retail theft must be treated as operating costs and those costs are passed along to the shopper. Our best estimate is that retail merchants in Utah will lose at least $6.3 million to shoplifters this year," according to Shanaman. He added that Utah shoppers could save that much money right off the top in purchases if shoplifting were stopped. "For example, because adult shoplifters tend to steal higher value items than juveniles. Thus we have more pressure to drive prices to compensate for observation stations, up theft losses," Shanaman along with salaries and added. training costs of security While the most popular guards or plainclothes items for the retail thief officers. and loses a $50 item to a shoplifter, the store has to make an additional "Those costs, along with the actual losses of $1,250 in sales to off-sthat loss. merchandise costs, could "The only alternative is reduce retail prices to raise prices.
