When I was younger, teen and early 20s, and working in retail. I noticed and thought it was kind of funny how in the job application process, these 100+ question interviews were all about trying to filter out criminals. They really treated employees as potential criminals first. Its ironically more paranoid than working in the financial industry.




> Its ironically more paranoid than working in the financial industry.

Having owned a liquor store for a while, it's not paranoia. The majority of the people you can get to work low end retail jobs will try to rip you off in any way they can.


"if I only had a bartender that stole from me 1/3 of the time I'd keep him..."

or so the saying goes


Criminally minded employees are bad for the bottom line in retail.

Criminally minded employees are good for the bottom line in finance.

The firms in question will filter accordingly.
