5-Finger Discount Activated at Major US Retailers

Major retailers are doing their best to drive sales any way they can. As you can imagine, from grocery to pharmacy retailers all over the US, finding incremental sales is a challenge. A few of the major retailers in the US have now instituted the “5-finger discount”. We were able to speak with a current customer named Joel Stolstuff and he had this to say, “Let’s be real, who the f#$#@@ is going to eat sardines…they should be free…..I feel the same about green olives…..nasty as shit and should be free…..anyways, I tend to grab a few other things to compensate”.

The result of the 5-finger discount policy is shown a sales lift and increased turn rates. Point of sale data is up 15% for all major retailers. We spoke with a store manager and this is what he had to say, “I am getting my bonus because of this policy…so, no, I don’t give a shit about some hippy kid stealing sardines….hey, great meeting you…..feel free to take some sardines on the way out…free baby!”
