Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Shrinkage" is a term commonly used by retailers to refer to losses from many causes, including shoplifting. Using a less threatening term like "shrinkage" avoids alarming customers and sending the message that the store is not safe or secure. The other choices (burglary, robbery, and rip-offs) are not accurate euphemisms for shoplifting.
