If they want to stop shoplifting they just need to upgrade all their self checkout machines to the ones that have ultra sensitive bagging areas.
I was routinely nicking something on pretty much every shopping trip, but then my local Waitrose and Sainsbury's branches both changed their machines and now anything that 'accidentally' doesn't scan gets noticed the moment it's in the bagging area and I have to be all OH MY GOODNESS DID THAT NOT SCAN?
Surely the majority of shoplifting is by petty chancers like me, rather than folk shoving packs of bacon down their trousers and the like
Yeah I read an article about casual theft skyrocketing when these machines went in. GOOD.
