Robbing from Tesco with impunity *edited by MNHQ*

I think let’s see how far this shit goes. A social policy experiment if you will.

Let’s fawn to the all those who demand to be treated as victims. Submit to those who commit crime and arrest those who disagree with the bourgeoisie.

And yet the police have resources to arrest people for praying silently, or interview people for posting anti-woke tweets, or send in an entire squad to seize someone's collection of gollywogs.

I wonder if we will move to a society where it is home delivery only for your groceries. Although maybe then the thieves will target the delivery vans.

I used to visit a "bottle shop" where you could see all the wine/spirits but it was behind a "cage" and the staff members selected it for you.

Is it Australia where you can't buy alcohol in a supermarket? I wonder if Tesco's UK dare take that decision.

Look at tictok for example they no longer care about alarms or been seen. Insurance go's up or you lose stock and money.

they will allow these rats to steal alcohol but they will arrest women for stealing nappies , formula and food for their kids
sounds about right

This is a store management issue.

The manager needs to work with the police.

Also, most stores now have CCTV so the police could use those.

If it bothers you, email the manager, and the CEO of Tesco (Head Office- email address is online and you WILL get a holding reply from the person monitoring those emails - I've done it for another issue, and it was sorted.)

Also consider contacting your local paper.

Some have cutters to get them off. I've been offered a bottle of Jack Daniels with the tag still on. I very impolitely declined.

I feel shops won't survive at this rate. The stance for a lot of big chain stores is don't put your self in danger, get a crime number. - insurance claim.

Small shops get a crime number - insurance.

The police now ignore theft up to £200 pounds.

Ah yes. Labour. The party of law and order. Fingers crossed they are all over it when they get in.

And yet when I complained that WHSmith had porn in the children's section I was detained by security and the Police arrived within 10 mins. Odd eh?

Security guards should operate the doors and only allow a certain amount of people in at a time or the doors should only open to exit when your loyalty card is scanned imo

This happens where I am too(also a northern town). There is a shop in our local town that isn’t a big chain and they get people stealing all the time., the police don’t care, the whole town centre has windows constantly being smashed, groups of men hanging out drinking on street corners and fighting.
The local police made a big deal about them spending a week where they had some officers out and about in town to solve the problem confiscating booze etc. Of course it was a box ticking exercise and once the week was over normality resumed. We have a huge police station in our town centre too, but they can’t police it.

Ditto here. The only reason to contact the police is to get a crime report for insurance.

i saw a news piece yesterday where one of the state Mayors in America was correcting the language of a reporter who described a group of disaffected youth committing crime as a ‘mob’. Apparently that term is problematic. The large gathering of criminal young people was fine. But calling them a ‘mob’ was the thing to crack down on. It’s fascinating.

It's becoming the norm. Lots of shops near my area, even the ones in the leafy suburbs, have thieves doing this regularly. They walk in, take what they want, and what they can sell, and leave. No one does a thing. It makes me very angry.

By the way, if anyone is unlucky enough to need the police, just find wherever your local pride event is happening this weekend. Go down there. You will find your town’s law enforcement force having a jolly old time.

It was on the news the other day that some Co-Op stores can’t even get the police to come out.
Back when I worked in retail in the 90s we were told never to confront shoplifters, but people were never so blatant.

All spirits in our tesco are now in these metal nets with tags on. I'm not sure the net can be opened so nicking it is pointless I think?

You do realise that we all pay for that in higher prices to cover losses. You actually think Tesco swallow that amount from their profits.

It's probably company policy. When I worked in retail as a teen in the 90s, we were not to confront shop lifters or try to stop them. Security guards are not supposed to tackle a group of shop lifters. It's just stuff, they don't want staff injured or killed. It's frustrating the police won't help though :(

The clips on the news were really scary. Large groups of people dragging open the shop door to get in.

I wouldn't be challenging them either.

Trained officers should be otherwise a free for all. ☹️

It's not your town specifically. This was on the news a few weeks ago; the Co-op stating that it might be necessary to close down shops in certain areas due to the scale of the problem. In my local Aldi, I was chatting to a young man on the till who was worn down with the number of shoplifters they are having to deal with; literally dozens every day. Some of this will of course be down to the cost of living, but for many it is nothing more than entitlement and criminal behaviour going unchecked. Whether Tesco can take the hit is neither here nor there, it is ALL the paying customers who are funding this lifestyle. When you stop and think about the kelptocrats we have running this country it is hardly surprising that crime is just becoming normalised.

Yeah but they’ll be sure to arrest you if you say men can’t be women so they aren’t THAT underfunded

This is standard practice in San Francisco now. While those running California are spending time making a case for reparations for descendants of slavery. That’s right. Who cares the lawlessness that citizens face today, including those descendents of slaves paying for the shoplifters to take freebies. But virtues must be signalled.

This country has signed up to the same batshittery. Welcome to la la land.

So basically looting then.
