"If the store has to keep putting money back into the store to make up for shoplifting, they can't afford to give this store's employees raises," said employee Stella Brown. "Every dollar of stuff they take, we have to make another dollar or so to cover it." Revco isn't the only store with a problem. The shopping center's other tenants, with the exception of the 47th Pier Fish Market, also are plagued by excessive shoplifting o 4 'Something goes out of here everyday/' said Tammye Ann TockWopiBKiisftEt o? th? ?

The amount of missing merchandise got so high at the High Fashion clothing store that the manager, 11 Yu, decided to attach theft detectors to all the clothes. Apparently, the measure worked.

"Now it's almost nothing." Meanwhile, Russell Sledge said shoplifting at 47th Pier is almost non-existent because of the type of store his is. "It's kinda hard to get a fish out of the case without us seeing it," Sledge said. In an effort to combat shoplifting, the Food Lion grocery store recently installed a security system that is activated whenever an item that has not been paid for leaves the store. The new cvctem ? ..... ^ J ^, located only in the Waughtown which have large numbers of black shoppers, is a new security measure for Food Lion but brings good results, said East Winston store manager Waverly Martin. iiiiimiiiiiiiiiimmiimitiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiMiiiiiii Wilson name From Page A1 miiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii pointment," said Wilson.

But Ray and others agree that it's not everybody that's stealing; most customers, they say, are honest. "This is just a minute group of people," Ray said. "Ninety-nine percent of the people who come in here are honest. But it's that une percent tnat makes it hard for everybody." The only way to combat the problem, said Ray, is, first, to educate the community about the shoplifting problems, and, second, to encourage the public to rfaelp . wage?the bat t ie agSfnsi - t shoplifting. g "If the public sees somebody stealing, they are going to have to get more involved."
