"Look at camera for entry - Facial recognition in use."
Portland gas station using facial recognition technology to curb crime
The company installed facial recognition technology there and at other stores. They say it's to prevent theft and potential danger by controlling who's allowed in. There's a somewhat noticeable camera right above the entrance to the store. The idea is the camera recognizes the face of people caught for things like shoplifting and robbery at the store and doesn't allow them access inside. The sign next to the camera says "Look at camera for entry. Facial recognition in use." Regulars tell KGW they first noticed it a couple months ago.

KGW reached out to Jacksons Food Stores, Inc. corporate office in Idaho multiple times Monday to find out what time of day the software is in use, what crimes exactly get you banned from the store, or whether you can appeal it if you happen to get misidentified. The company did not return our emails. kgw.com

Costco Employee Claim to Proceed
Tourette's Syndrome & Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Claim
Hostile Work Environment Under ADA Can Proceed Against Costco

The plaintiff began his employment with Costco Wholesale Corp. in 1996 in its Holbrook, N.Y., warehouse. During his tenure, his positions included serving as a member of the floor crew, an assistant cashier, a cashier and a greeter. In June 2013, the Holbrook warehouse came under new management.

Due to his conditions, the plaintiff would frequently touch the floor before moving and would cough to avoid swearing, which was a verbal tic. According to the plaintiff, following his transfer from greeter to assistant cashier, some co-workers would mock his condition by saying "hut-hut-hike" to mimic his verbal and physical tics. He further alleged that management overheard and was aware of these remarks, although management denied ever hearing such comments. shrm.org

CVS Wins in Non-Compete Agreement - SVP Exec is Blocked
Former SVP CVS exec can't work for Amazon's PillPack, judge rules

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a former CVS Health executive from working at Amazon.com Inc’s PillPack online pharmacy unit, saying that allowing him to take a job where he would help drive its “disruptive strategy” would violate a non-compete agreement.

“Months after entering an independent standalone agreement ... for which he was well-compensated, Mr. Lavin, a high senior official at CVS with access to very confidential information, went to work for a competitor,” Judge McConnell said. “That is wrong, and CVS is entitled to have the agreement enforced.”’

In 2017, Lavin signed an agreement not to provide the “same or similar” service to a Caremark competitor or take a job that “will likely result” in his disclosing confidential information to a competitor for 18 months after leaving the company, according to the order. CVS paid Lavin in stock worth nearly $160,000 for his signing, the order said. reuters.com law360.com

The CBD Market is Booming
But Hershey Says It Has 'No Plans' to Add CBD to Candy - Yet

Chocolates and gummy candy have become a popular vehicle for CBD, but the non-psychoactive cannabis compound won’t be in Hershey products anytime soon. Hershey CEO Michele Buck said that the 125-year-old company is monitoring the trend but doesn’t have any plans to add CBD to its food just yet.

Currently, the Food and Drug Administration prohibits adding the compound to food and beverages because it is a main ingredient in a drug used to treat childhood epilepsy. The agency held its first hearing in late May to better understand CBD and how to regulate it.

As reported in the Daily last month, at $641 million U.S. sales in 2018, CBD sales are expected to grow significantly over the next three years. In its 2019 report, the Hemp Business Journal projects that total CBD sales in the U.S. could hit $1.5 billion by 2020 and $2.26 billion by 2022. cnbc.com

Forget the Mall, Shoppers Are Buying Gucci at Airports
Average Traveler - 3 or 4 Trips Per Yr.
72 Minutes Between Flights = "The Golden Hour'

Makers of luxury goods from liquor to perfume think they have found the antidote to the fading American shopping mall: airport terminals.

For the first time last year, Estée Lauder Co. generated more revenue at airports globally than at U.S. department stores, which for decades had been beauty companies’ biggest sales driver. Other luxury-goods companies, from spirits maker Bacardi Ltd. to Kering SA’s KER -0.56% Gucci, are also expanding their presence at airport terminals.

“Very few channels have almost guaranteed traffic,” said Olivier Bottrie, who heads Estée Lauder’s global travel-retail business. “When a department store goes away, it’s not a major catastrophe. But if a major airport went away, it would be a major catastrophe.”

Travelers, especially those coming from Asia, increasingly work high-end shopping sprees into their trips, planning layovers around access to lavish shopping, executives say.

Especially attractive is the influx of travelers with disposable income from emerging markets such as China, India, Russia and Brazil, where the fast-expanding middle class means untapped potential. wsj.com

How a Drop in Chinese Tourism Will Hurt Luxury Retail in the US
While Chinese buy roughly one-third of the world’s luxury goods, 73 percent of this consumption occurs outside the country, according to estimates from Bain & Company, a global management consulting firm. Statistics released by the Chinese Tourism Academy and Ctrip show Chinese travelers spent more than $115 billion during their overseas trips in 2017. skift.com
 



NY Times: Adidas Sells Diversity - Black Employees Say It Doesn’t Practice It
Fewer than 4.5 percent of the workers at the company’s North American headquarters identify as black. Members of that small group say they feel ignored and sometimes discriminated against.

‘A lot of lip service’ “What is frustrating is that none of us are empowered to change it,” he added. “Some companies have said for years that they want to create a diverse workplace, but if anything, the numbers are getting worse. And they don’t care. It’s a lot of lip service.”  nytimes.com

KPMG: Women Executives Believe
They Must Adjust Their Leadership Style More Often Than Men To Advance

A majority of executive women say they must both change their leadership styles and be more adaptable than their male counterparts in order to lead successfully and advance in their careers, according to a new study released today by KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm.

"Advancing the Future of Women in Business: A KPMG Women's Leadership Summit Report" polled 550 high-performing executive women who are 1-2 career steps away from the C-suite and have participated in the KPMG Women's Leadership Summit.

Key Findings:

Because of feedback like being "too bossy or demanding," "not aggressive enough," "not collaborative enough," and "too direct," 58% of women surveyed admit to changing their leadership style to combat such perceptions. prnewswire.com

New Survey Getting Lots of Media Coverage
Turning Cybersecurity Into a Competitive Advantage

70% of Seniors Experienced Cyberattack in Last 12 Months
Survey: Cybersecurity becoming key business driver by C-suite
Executives that participated in the 2019 C-Suite Perspectives: From Defense to Offense, Executives Turn Information Security Into a Competitive Advantage study found that the four main business impacts of a security incident were customer loss (45%), brand reputation loss (44%) and revenue loss or operational (32% each).

Companies still have a long way to go to protect themselves. A majority (70%) of senior executives surveyed in North America and Europe report their company experienced a cyberattack in the prior twelve months.

The predominance of cybersecurity as a business issue extends to the board, with 72% of executives reporting information security is an agenda item for every board meeting. Respondents estimated an average cost per attack of about $4.6M and the proportion of respondents estimating that the total cost of cyberattacks to their organization is more than $10 million nearly doubled in frequency from 2018 (7%) to 2019 (13%).

At the same time, customers want to understand what companies have done to secure their products and services. Three-quarters of executives report that security is a key part of their marketing messages, and 50% of companies surveyed offer dedicated security products and services to their customers.

Additionally, 41% offer security features as add-ons within their products and services, and another 7% are considering building security services into their products. chainstoreage.com

Extreme Weather Poses Bigger Cyber Risk
Floods, storms and other natural phenomena caused half of all the hours of telecommunications downtime in Europe last year, highlighting an area of increased concern for corporate risk managers.

Outages occur more frequently because storms are causing more damage to network infrastructure across Europe.

Still, companies can prepare for the fallout. Hackers are more likely to launch cyberattacks when companies are vulnerable, such as during an outage or other crisis.

In particular, hackers might time their attacks around disasters if they aim to cause maximum damage to a company, he said. During a power outage, for example, corporate security professionals should watch out for suspicious activity on telecoms networks.

Some corporate cybersecurity leaders inform staff about emergency precautions before a storm is expected to hit, WSJ Pro Cybersecurity reported in September ahead of Hurricane Florence. Those measures can include avoiding email because cyber criminals are more likely to target employees during a chaotic period like a natural disaster.

Risk managers might rely on similar strategies to respond to weather-related and cybersecurity threats. Those include assessing the security of service providers and making sure employees continue to have access to emergency response manuals if internet service goes down, Mr. Brill said.  WSJ Pro

As Cloud Adoption Grows, DLP Remains Key Challenge
McAfee's new "Cloud Adoption and Risk Report."

Most cloud adopters (87%) report business acceleration, and 52% claim to experience better security. A closer look at the numbers, however, reveals a need to better control information and applications in the cloud.

Only 26% of respondents say they can audit infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) configurations such as open access to storage buckets. One-third say they can control application collaboration settings. Slightly more (36%) can enforce data loss prevention (DLP) in the cloud. More than 35% of businesses with a cloud access security broker (CASB) are more likely to be able to launch new products and speed time to market — but only one-third of respondents use them.

Two years ago, security was the main obstacle to cloud adoption as companies hesitated to share data with providers. Now, with providers buckling down on security and business decisions accelerating the transition to the cloud, they've grown accustomed to the switch but fail to realize cloud providers don't cover all security. In some ways, they're still responsible. darkreading.com


 

Man files human rights complaint after Costco searched his backpack but not women's purses

Company says bag search policy is stated on signs and in membership brochure

A B.C. man says he was discriminated against because his backpack was searched while leaving a Costco store but female customers with large purses didn't get the same treatment. Ryan Morris filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal claiming discrimination on the basis of sex. The tribunal recently dismissed his claim.

"To some degree, Mr. Morris' complaint relies on the assumption that men carry backpacks while women carry purses," wrote tribunal member Pamela Murray in her decision. "I note that women may use backpacks and, equally, men may carry what may traditionally have been referred to as purses."

The decision says Morris, who describes himself as a white man and a Costco member since 2000, claims that on one day each in June and July 2017 a female attendant asked to check his backpack as he left the store. The incidents embarrassed him, the decision says, because other members stared at him as they left.

In response to his complaint at the time, the manager pointed out the sign at the store's entrance that reminds members that Costco may search their bags. The policy is also stated in Costco's membership agreement.

‘Let Go of My Hand!’: Old Navy Employee Follows Black Shopper Outside of Store, Attempts to Apprehend Her for Allegedly Stealing
A Canadian woman is speaking out after she says she was racially profiled and assaulted by an Old Navy staff member who accused her of shoplifting from the store.

Calderon, who arrived wearing a shirt with the tag still attached, said she was there to make an exchange and was considering buying a white dress she tried on, that is until she claims she was racially profiled. After taking her concerns to management, the woman said she decided to take her business elsewhere. That’s when she says she was followed and confronted by an Old Navy employee.

Video from the incident shows the worker grabbing Calderon by the arm and refusing to let go, despite her repeated objections. “If she doesn’t let go of me I’m going to press charges!” she shouts. “Stephanie, I’m going to press charges against you. Let go of my hand.” A pair of security guards stand idly by as the two women go back and forth.

Stephanie, still holding Calderon by the arm, accuses the woman of leaving with an item — a $13 shirt — she did not arrive with and demands to see her receipt, proving she made a purchase. When Calderon refuses, the employee presumes she’s guilty.

The video sparked a torrent of angry reactions from social media users, many who chided the employee for putting her hands on the woman.

In Case You Missed It
Did shortage of security & police lead to shooting at Toronto Raptors parade?
'I Am Amazed That There Weren't More Injuries'
There were significant security flaws in how the event was executed. I am amazed that there weren't more injuries. Had the Raptors played like this event was run they would have been eliminated in the first round. The square was already jammed to capacity, and there were too many people forced against fences.

The first sign that things may not go according to plan was when the media accreditation table had to be moved because of the crowds were so large and overwhelming. I have attended many significant events. The first thing I noticed was the total lack of police from other police forces. We do not have enough police in the entire city for a parade with one million never mind two million people.

There were not enough security or police in the square and there were too many people. There was no way to control the crowd. There was no way to police the crowd or help people in distress. There was also a lack of security and planning around the buses and the parade route which caused them to run massively behind schedule - causing more distress to the tens of thousands of people in the square. torontosun.com

GTA: 22 males arrested in series of cellphone store robberies, 9 cases remain unsolved
Toronto Police say an investigation into 32 reported cellphone store robberies in the Greater Toronto Area over a six-month period has resulted in the arrest of 22 males and laying 278 charges. However, nine of those cases are still unsolved. Insp. Lauren Pogue held a news conference detailing the investigation, dubbed the “Matrix Bandits,” which started in December 2018. The string of robberies spread across the GTA in the areas of Toronto, York, Peel, Halton and Hamilton, according to police.

Police said that during the robberies, between two and five males would enter stores and control and intimidate employees and customers by using weapons, threats and zip ties. The employees were ordered to fill large gym bags with cellphones, said investigators. Police said the suspects would then flee the stores using stolen vehicles and car-jacking, said police. Investigators allege the group was using social media platforms to recruit more members.

Amazon Adding 30 Cargo Jets – Expanding Fleet to 70
Amazon is taking to the skies to help make one-day delivery a reality.

Amazon is partnering with GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) to lease an additional 15 Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft. These 15 aircraft will be in addition to five Boeing 737-800s already leased from GECAS and announced earlier this year. In addition, Amazon expanded upon an existing 40-plane lease partnership with Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) by leasing 10 Boeing 767 cargo planes in December 2018.

Amazon launched Amazon Air in 2016 to support package delivery without relying on third-party shipping providers such as UPS, FedEx, or the U.S. Postal Service. Leveraging advanced algorithms and software used for capacity and route planning, the e-tail titan says Amazon Air can transport hundreds of thousands of packages per day.

The company’s fleet of at least 50 leased aircraft will fly in the U.S. out of the more than 20 air gateways in the Amazon Air network. chainstoreage.com

Brumley said that’s when the two women saw an opportunity and went through with their plan to steal the boa while in its cage before driving off with the reptile. “The girl that was working said that as she realized they grabbed it and came outside as the car drove off and heard someone scream,” Brumley said. That’s because he believes the boa may have bitten one of them. “There’s some justice there,” he said, “this particular one is real aggressive.” fox2now.com

Take the Pledge
Diversity - Inclusion - Equality
Hire 1 Diversity Team Member in Next 3 or 4 Hires
Two Executives Attend NRF Protect 2020 Free

As we challenged the attendees at the NRF's Ring of Excellence Award keynote session last Thursday we'd like to extend the challenge industry-wide by including it here in our Tip of the Day column.

For over twenty years the Daily has quietly sponsored Keith White's, EVP The Gap, International Organization of Black Security Executives (IOBSE) conference and website. With building and hosting the site for over twenty years now, while Keith White has helped literally hundreds of young college students enter the work force. His efforts have truly made a difference and impacted so many. Therefore we feel it's only appropriate to challenge every retailer out there to make concerted effort and make the pledge that they'll hire a diversity candidate within the next four hires and be more inclusive in their overall hiring practices.

With Joan Manson's NRF group, Women in LP, having made such an industry impact, let's keep it going and broaden it to include all the nation's retailers.

Take the pledge and let us know how it progresses over the next year and the two retailers making the biggest impact, percentage wise, will select one of these executives to attend NRF Protect 2020 free of charge and with absolutely no obligation. The two retailers will also be featured in a Spotlight on Leadership column sharing their story, all of which will be monitored and any ties decided by the NRF VP of LP Bob Moraca.

Watch Gus' acceptance speech for the Ring of Excellence Award

Just a Thought,
Gus
