You'll break your knees making that massive leap to a conclusion. You could just as easily infer that it was a terrorist, drug dealer, kleptomaniac, Father Christmas impersonator or public schoolboy.


It must be satisfying being able to see evidence for your world view in any action, no matter whether there's any logical basis for that inference or not.

Cannot see why the Co-op would be that concerned abort people nicking some of their produce.


1/2 of it is at its use by date or over its best by date. Saves them the trouble of having to dispose of it.


Perhaps they (and other supermarkets) should have a 'Please Help Yourself' section.

Poor Lady Barnett subsequently killed herself because of the shame of the publicity.


And since she clearly didn't need to steal groceries, was probably genuinely ill or forgetful.

exactly Azira, as per my point that LIB was wearing a poacher's bag inside her coat, and yes she committed suicide by electrocution, proving that she shoplifted for kicks. Not because there was a tory covernment: however, why is it that from 5-6 pm peak time there are only 2 cashiers operating at the Coop
Sounds more like deep depression. I've worked retail security in the past and have seen it all, for kicks/laugh, desperation, need, idiocy, drunk- retail security is more about visual presence and health and safety of staff and customers.

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
