That sign in the vestibule of the Revco Drug Store in the East Winston Shopping Center, as well as the presence of an armed security guard, are meant to ward off potential shoplifters. But neither seems to be all that successful. For example, on Monday morning Michael Ray, the store's security guard, starts his daily routine. He walks down the first store aisle thumping boxes of deodorant. After only a few tries, the customary thump doesn't _1 - _ _* I- A !f_ A 1 souna quite ngni. ne men removes the box from its safe spot among others just like it and finds that it is empty.

"Who's to say they didn't come into the store with a bottle of deodorant already inside their purse or bag?" Ray said. Since Revco opened in the East Winston Shopping Center, the amount of money lost due to shoplifting has sharply increased, Ray said. "It's not nickle-and-dime shoplifting around here," said Ray. "These are professionals. They go from store to store, pooling their money and buying drugs. "It's not the products. They are stealing to sell the products for a profit. It's an organized effort now. It's a full-time job. They get up early in the morning. '* Ray conservatively estimates that the store losses $600 per month to shoplifters -- a loss that some employees feel has Please see page A3 ?
