Seems like a customer had accused Kays of swapping out their goods&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd many people have wrote in about this topic, saying &#8220;<strong>How can you support Kays<\/strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>I&#8217;m never buying from them again&#8230;<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nThis is fine, you can think what you want, but I&#8217;m here to say:<\/p>\n<p><h2>I&#8217;m not believing it!<\/h2>\n<p>\nBecause it&#8217;s not &#8220;<strong>Kays<\/strong>&#8221; that is <strong>stealing<\/strong>, it&#8217;s <strong>one of their unscrupulous workers<\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd before you say &#8220;<strong>Well they represent the company<\/strong>&#8220;, do note, that in every single business across the country, there will always be that one person, that one employee who <strong>just happens to steal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of people in your own company that stole or have gotten <strong>fired from stealing<\/strong> (Paperclips, Post Its, Money, Merchandise, Hours&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p><h2>It happens. EVERYWHERE!<\/h2>\n<p>\nEvery business hires people, and you can&#8217;t <strong>control what people do<\/strong>. Sure you can have <strong>policies, cameras, inventory control<\/strong> and every other means of preventing theft, but the truth is, it&#8217;s still going to happen and <strong>WILL!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s not the company&#8217;s fault. Hell, look at restaurants&#8230; You think all the Waiters and Waitresses <strong>claim 100% of their tips?<\/strong> No! Didn&#8217;t think so. That&#8217;s stealing from the Government&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>Does that make it right?<\/h2>\n<p>\nWhat if you leave the Grocery store and see that they <strong>forgot to charge you for Milk<\/strong>. Do you go back in and <strong>pay for it?<\/strong> Or do you say &#8220;<strong>It&#8217;s their fault! That&#8217;s what they get!<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nYou see, <strong>it&#8217;s not so cut and dry<\/strong>. You can&#8217;t point fingers and still bend the rules at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\nJewelry Stores don&#8217;t open up a store thinking &#8220;<strong>I&#8217;m gonna rip off the public!<\/strong>&#8221; No one does that.<\/p>\n<p><h2>That&#8217;s not what they want!<\/h2>\n<p>\nStores want to build <strong>a reputable business<\/strong> and hire reputable people&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>But bad seeds happen<\/strong>. You get someone who snatches a &#8220;<strong>FREE<\/strong>&#8221; Watch Battery, or <strong>skims a couple of bucks<\/strong> from the cash drawer. And then, yes, every so often you get those <strong>greedy fools<\/strong> who get so desperate that they <strong>steal customer&#8217;s diamonds and rings<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve been in the industry for 28 years, I&#8217;ve heard of it happening about <strong>3-4 times<\/strong> in the past. <\/p>\n<p>\nAnd keep in mind, that&#8217;s &#8220;<strong>HEARD<\/strong>&#8221; about it&#8230; I&#8217;ve never seen it. In fact, <strong>there&#8217;s very little proof<\/strong>&#8230; For all I know the customer could have brought in a &#8220;<strong>Fake Diamond<\/strong>&#8221; and then accused the Jeweler of switching it&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><h2>I don&#8217;t know!<\/h2>\n<p>\nAll I&#8217;m saying is <strong>those employees get fired<\/strong>. No business wants to keep them. But that shouldn&#8217;t <strong>bring down an entire company<\/strong>. It&#8217;s silly to think that way. <\/p>\n<p>\nLook at yourself, look at your company and business&#8230; <strong>How do you deal with stealing?<\/strong> Employees? <\/p>\n<p>\nShould you allow a store <strong>to crumble<\/strong> because one person thought it was right to pocket something that wasn&#8217;t theirs?<\/p>\n<p><h2>NO!<\/h2>\n<p>\nIt can happen to <strong>anyone, anytime, anywhere<\/strong>&#8230; Just cover your butt and <strong>get insurance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s there for!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Stealing is part of life<\/strong>,<strong> SADLY!<\/strong> It&#8217;s something we all have to deal with&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nSo don&#8217;t be <strong>flubbing your taxes<\/strong>, or getting too happy when something rings up <strong>$10 less<\/strong> than it should&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>Someone has to Pay the Price!<\/h2>\n<p>\nBut should it be the <strong>store, company, or business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>What&#8217;s your take?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Let me know in the comments below&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>P.S. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/keep-your-diamond-from-being-switched\/\">Learn How to Keep your Diamond from being Switched HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WHAT?
