See that if they reduced their prices by £800k a year they'd be 200k better off as folk wouldn't have to steal itBoth Lidl & Aldi have now asked to see inside my empty bags before packing, one local larger Aldi has a sign at the check out asking you to place empty bags on the conveyor belt to be checked as this saves them asking which as mentioned can offend some people.
The BBC News keeps mentioning how much shoplifting has increased over the last 2 years, it amounts to many millions of pounds, one smaller Vegan/Organic type specialist supermarket chain with 8/9 branches said that their shoplifting had increased to well over a million pounds a year. They also said it was all types and ages of customer doing it, especially regular more wealthy ones, as they sometimes feel they deserve a free high priced luxury item now and again as a reward for being a loyal regular customer.
Many may have experienced a full time security guard being placed inside their local small Sainsbury Local supermarket, or Tesco Local?, I must admit to being surprised at seeing that happen at our local Sainsburys Convenience store, but I am told that shoplifting of legs of lamb/Beef Steaks and wine & Beer was becoming a real problem.
