I remember the blue laws in Ohio kept most stores closed on Sunday. This weird thing called planning ahead was done then. One Sunday, when family was coming over, our cream went bad. My mom called Grandma, asking her to bring some with her. Otherwise, we were out of luck, unless we went to the overpriced convenient store.

We now have to keep all gift cards in our possession until the customer pays, the card is activated, and the receipt prints. It has cut down some of the theft.

My coworker caught someone who applied a tag from a cheap soap dish to a much higher priced, and rather large, item. Pretty obvious switch. I apply the "X" tag idea to my vehicle tags on the advice of a highway patrol officer after one was stolen off my car. It was pried off with a screw driver. Now I put the sticker on and immediately score it with my pocket knife. It will shred if anyone tries that again.
