Barneys workers describe theft, working conditions as 'free for all' - Business Insider

Friday that left them unpaid for nearly a week. Employees said they were paid on Thursday morning.

According to a sales associate specializing in women's accessories and jewelry, the environment at the 7th Avenue stores has become a"free for all," with customers regularly walking out with five-finger discounts without apprehension. In response, members of the New York Police Department began manning both the Madison and 7th Avenue locations for the rest of the month, according to employees interviewed by Business Insider.

"We have a lot of theft, so much so that we've had to lock up every single bag on my floor," the accessories specialist said."We were robbed twice in one week once, and in the summer, we had droves of kids just coming trying to steal from us." Bethany Biron/Business Insider In response to request to comment Wednesday regarding delayed payments and theft in stores, Authentic Brands Group said it is"not in the position" to make a statement, adding that"ABG is the owner of the intellectual property of Barneys and did not purchase the inventory or store leases in the acquisition."

"I think all of us are pretty much over it because we've been through so much in the past year," she said."We're ready for it to be over at this point."

So sad to see this happening to this NYC icon 😓

How sad, was a great retailer in its day.

'and the future of its remaining employees' what future they are bankrupt and liquidating the stores there is no future unless i missed something

JoshMankiewicz When a record store was liquidating in the 90s, employees went in before the markdowns and hid piles of CDs and boxsets above the ceiling tiles. They retrieved their booty during the final days when all things were 95% off. It wasn't theft...technically.
