Whilst I was in the queue for a coffee, 4 different people came in and took several sandwiches, doughnuts and drinks.

They were not together.

I feel like Greg’s need to put every behind the counter, I can’t see how it’s sustainable long term.

I see this at different Greggs aswell but there will normally be just one person. Today was shocking.

The price of inequality, a divided society and breakdown of trust and social norms. Rich people don't notice because they don't shop in Greggs, and buy their way out of crime, anti social behaviour etc. Public service that keep social order and things ticking over are defunded so we don't tax the rich. Ironically, the rich benefit from more equality too, not least improved mental health: equalitytrust.org.uk/why-more-equality/

I can only hope they were genuinely starving. But if they were addicts then they're not well. Not that I agree with stealing.

I can imagine they might end up reconfiguring the worst hit stores so everything is behind the tills and a big screen. Like those really rough booze shops where you can't touch anything.

It's a shame but life is getting pretty bad, it's getting worse, not better.
