It's miserable now in my local small Sainsbury's

They have for some unknown reason moved absolutely everything. I think they got rid of the door security person and have put plastic sliders in front of everything even bars of chocolate so that it's hard to reach them. Coffee with security tags on, big screens in front of the tills like you're in a bank. I get that there are reasons but it has made shopping there quite miserable.

How funny, just clicked on youtube and a video popped up directly related to this thread. Ie. Shoplifting etc in sainsburys

Algorithms obv but interesting none the less.

Self service is a disservice, is no service at all.

The police probably don't have enough resources to be honest.
Their numbers have been cut.

There are lots of reasons why people steal.

Some don't need to steal but get enjoyment from it.
Some are stealing to sell goods onto other people.
Somecdo it because they can.
At the end of the day stealing is wrong and it puts prices up for others.

I bet the people who steal have never run their own business or shop.

Yes, of course. And meritocracy is real and everyone can have a good life if they work hard enough.
