4Shrink & safety risks
- Blind corner at the beer cooler — not visible from the register or any camera. Recommend a convex mirror (quoted below).
- Back door propped open during morning deliveries — habit worth breaking; it’s your biggest walk-out risk.
- Entry mat curls in wet weather — slip risk at your busiest doorway.

Your three things before the next walk

- Tell the morning crew: back door closed between hand-truck loads.
- Decide on the lot refresh — it’s the score holding back your curb appeal.
