Shops are making extremely feeble efforts to curtail theft such that I think it's a nice cover for raising prices, slashing costs and increasing data capitalism etc
For example at a local Asda, an expensive donut brand are placed right by the entrance. I see people stealing them all the time. At Gregg's bakery, many popular items are left on a table half way to the door, almost inviting theft. Other expensive items are put in the chiller/hot cabinet open to all.
It's been so obvious what changes need to be made, you ask yourself why they have not
- SoftTalker 8mo agoSales from impulse buys of expensive high-margin items are enough to offset the losses from theft.
- hermanzegerman 8mo agoIf you have decent social nets you don't need to worry about theft of basic items. If people stealing food is such a big problem, your country is fucked up in a bad way. Here they don't even watch the self checkout, and don't use those annoying checkouts with a scale.
