I was hoping you might have some deeper knowledge to share. For instance:
Yup, I already knew that the stores order items from the CTC distributor, who ships them to the stores.
And from what I've read, the profits on items sold at a CT store are split with the corporation, based on some closely-guarded agreement.
Now, some sources have said that when an item has been shoplifted, the owner still has to give CTC the usual share of the profits, even though the store got no revenue for it. In fact, it sounded as though the owner had to give CTC the full retail price of the stolen item.
Any insights into that?
If so, it would help explain why the CT owner/dealers are much more concerned about shoplifter, compared to others stores. Aggressive chasing events, keeping things locked up, searching bags, etc.
Also, this could relate to why they are so reluctant to give a refund if there's any chance at all that there might possibly maybe been a potential for some kind of fraud or other.
Thanks in Advance!
- How come they are so aggressive with shop-lifters?
- Do they own the inventory in their stores, or does CTC own it?
Theses are related. They do own the stock and it's purchased from CTC.
