Ode to Loss Prevention

To all my friends in Loss Prevention... if you find yourself answering the after-hours phone over this holiday period and you feel all alone... here's a little pick me up...

To the guardians of retail, unsung and wise,

You stand like sentinels under watchful skies.

In every aisle, through each busy door,

You fight the battles no one can ignore.

With eyes that spot what others miss,

You safeguard the balance, the store’s quiet bliss.

When shrinkage creeps and margins fall,

You’re the ones who answer the call.

Through cameras, data and endless stats,

You track the thieves who think they’re fast.

A blend of strategy, instinct, and care,

You’re the hidden force, always there.

Not just a protector, but leader, too,

Guiding teams with a vision true.

Your work is often behind the scenes,

But your impact is felt in every routine.

So here’s to you, the unseen knights,

Turning darkness into light.

With every challenge, you stand tall—

Loss Prevention Managers, we salute you all. 👏🛡️
