Yeah. It’s actually quite sad when you see basic things like detergent and butter with security tags, kind of points to how much some people must be struggling as it used to just be the luxury items that had security tags

I’ve been seeing these in Dublin City and I’m not surprised in the slightest, as something has to give.
We’ve a certain group in Dublin city center, in the thousands now, who are professional pick pockets, beggars and shop thieves. They have come here, had a boatload of kids, whilst never contributing to society in any way, apart from stealing and scamming, at our expense.
Should be treated as a criminal organisation and sent back wherever they came from.
Expect to see more of this.

Detergent can be resold easily and is quite expensive which is why it’s often taken. It’s usually a grab and run situation with it, so this is to make it more difficult.

Who’s stealing Tesco own brand non bio?

They’re protecting the Tesco brand detergent… good grief. If you ever needed a demonstration of the levels of wealth inequality in society surely this is it

Oh great, next thing they will lock everything behind glass and you will have to look for staff to open this shit for you so you can buy toilet paper.
Possibly, I have never seen these before.
Which branch were you in? Is it one where there may be a huge amount of theft?
They look seriously easy to snap off
Businesses gonna business
