Yep. Then the vendor has to add the responsibility of covering “shrinkage”, as the store doesn’t care when the product is stolen, as it doesn’t belong to them!

???

Vendors do not cover shrinkage, except for the rare items sold on consignment. Shrinkage losses are either absorbed by the store or handled by insurance.

Rack jobbing means the vendor stocks the shelves, sometimes literally. The vendor isn’t paid until the item sells. That’s common for a variety of merchants.
