Got that right. Shrinkage, as they call it, comprises three
categories: employee theft, customer theft, and mistakes. I read an
article some years ago that apportioned shrinkage among them: 70%
employees, 20% customers, and 10% mistakes. (Mistakes were mostly mdse
that was dropped or damaged after unloading. What you encountered is
probably a tiny fraction of 1% of ALL shrinkage.)
