In later years at Zayre, this system, which centered on manipulation of "the shrink figure," became more refined and better orchestrated.

At Zayre, and other retail companies, the term shrinkage became a convenient euphemism for "out of control." Retailers have routinely used "the shrink figure" to measure "losses" for decades.
