I am white and was a supervisor a little over a year ago for drug store chain. My training in loss prevention was to ask ‘Can I help you?’ to everyone. ‘Can I help you?’ is the equivelent of ‘Are you stealing anything?’. I never liked it when I shopped elsewhere (my theory, ‘If I need your help, I’ll ask for it!’), so I never offered ‘help’ until I was asked about something.
