Four studies are presented that examine various aspects of theft in the convenience store industry. Study 1 was a survey of both managers' ( n = 24) and retail clerks' ( n = 54) opinions on how and why convenience store employees steal. Results showed that the most frequently used theft techniques involved various ways of stealing cash from a register. Major reasons for employees' theft included financial need, low wages, revenge, and thrill-seeking. Major perceptions about why some employees never steal included fear of apprehension and personal honesty. Study 2 ( N = 61) showed that convenience store employees with more tolerant attitudes toward theft and violence, as measured by a pre-employment psychological test, the Personnel Selection Inventory, were more likely to engage in theft and other types of counterproductive behavior. Study 3 showed that the use of the inventory for 19 months by a 30-unit convenience store chain, for the purpose of screening out potential employee thieves and other counterproductive employees, was reliably more effective in reducing company shrinkage than a pre-employment polygraph procedure that was used for 23 months. Finally, Study 4 showed that the inventory had no adverse impact upon any protected group. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of using interactive videodisc for developing community based simulations for students with moderate disabilities. A multiple baseline design across students was used to assess the effects of the training package, that made use of an interactive videodisc-based simulation, on the students' skills to locate and purchase an item in simulated and natural convenience store settings. Three adolescents with moderate disabilities were taught how to access the equipment, discriminate items, and shop for snack items in a convenience store. During baseline and intervention phases, purchasing skills were assessed daily in simulated settings and weekly in natural settings. Measures included the number of extra actions to locate an item, percentage of assistance from the teacher, and number of purchasing steps completed correctly. All students learned how to access the equipment, to discriminate visuals of shopping items, and to interact in the simulated store setting. In addition for the simulated settings, students demonstrated a decrease in the number of extra actions needed to locate an item and an increase in the number of purchasing steps performed correctly.
