I wonder who much goes missing directly from their warehouse.


AKA: Internal shrinkage

Not much is said about it, but "Internal shrinkage" has been a major
problem at Home Depot for years.


Actually, internal shrink at HD is not much of a problem. The much bigger
shrink problem at HD is outright theft (people walk out with nice new power
tools and nobody can stop them), product damage ("normal" shipping and
handling damage, sub-contractor damage, etc.). If you could see the
biggest shrink items by department at HD, you'd quickly see that it is not
stuff employees walk off with.
