Cheese is at risk of shoplifters?

The way prices are rising, all food is at risk of shoplifters!

From certain TV chefs…

It's been on the news that ASDA is beginning to security tag Lurpak as the price is now so high

It's been like that in the local co op for years.

SlowHorses · 05/07/2022 22:24

Just wow. Sometimes I can’t believe the last 2 years.

pandemic and all that entailed
petrol shortages and secret WhatsApp groups when a station got a delivery
crazy people gluing themselves to motorways
crazy petrol prices
even crazier utility prices
strike/threats across lots of professions
carnage at airports
crazy food prices & shortages

I feel like that’s not even the full list either!

Wonder what 2023 has in store - ration books?!

OakTreex · 05/07/2022 23:18

Cheese has always been high risk for shoplifters actually! I remember doing retail work in my younger years and cheese and meat are nicked and resold all the time.

OakTreex · 05/07/2022 23:20

Cheese is THE most stolen food in the world - I'm sure some shops have tagged for years

WhyDoesItAlways · 05/07/2022 23:23

Yep, cheese, coffee and meat have been common shop lifted items for years but obviously now they have an even higher value.

Bizzlemizzle · 05/07/2022 23:29

Some supermarkets have had deterrents on cheese for years, one I worked at many moons ago had stickers on saying they were tagged but never saw the spider tags on them!

@RoseAndRose , no bad thing, if it encourages people to buy cheaper British butter instead.
On another thread, someone’s referred to Lurpak as a ‘luxury’ brand - WTF?

It’s just ordinary butter - albeit often advertised very heavily as something special, so presumably the ads do work.

‘Luxury’ brands of butter IMO are the fancier French or niche West Country ones with salt crystals, etc.

Gingernaut · 06/07/2022 00:31

Meat is a shoplifter staple around here.

I've seen people running out of shops with multiple packets of bacon before now.

Who buys second hand cheese?😮

Back in 2006 we used to keep the tin foil behind the counter at the convenience where I worked; To stop the drug addicts stealing it.
