The interview was fairly straight forward, if not a bit rushed. The store manager I spoke with explained that this wasn't the typical theft prevention role that loss prevention usually deals with and that it would be much more on the operational side (such as preventing plants and flowers from dying due to procedural errors or stopped bags of cement from being punctured by forklifts which would make them unsellable). I declined the offer but it seemed like a great opportunity.
