Why supermarkets should not be surprised by shopping

I was never a big thief. Not because of my morals, more because of my cowardice. The cooking takes the balls, and mine is too small. During my adolescence, there was a great madness in my environment. For the most part, they would be sweets or dirty magic from the local corner store. Sometimes, I went to ambitious exits on the tube in central London, thieves from high quality stores such as Hamleys or Harrods. I would always be on the edge, I threw myself, watching how the braver children tried (and usually failed) to avoid the attention of intimidating security staff.

Only once, in a Covent Garden toy store, I slipped a bouncy ball with a dump on it in the jacket pocket. The security guard caught me and threatened to call the police. When my eyes tossed with tears, he decided to leave me. He knew as well as I did that I was not cut for this kind of life. Later, when I got home, I cried as I confessed everything to my mother. She comforted me, telling me that everyone has a stinging phase, even she. Then she told me about her shopping career for teenagers. It sounds much more achieved and bolder than mine.

A few days later, I stole a box of beef -flavored stock cubes from the convention store at the end of our road. It was a strange element to target, yes, but I worked that the store of stock cubes of the store represented the only blind point of the security chamber. I got rid of it. My mother found stock cubes in my pocket a few days later, responding more with concern than suspicion.

Nowadays, Shoplifting has been fully mainstream. I read in the work last week that more of my local streets are full of it. Anecdotes abound among my friends of people who fall into tesco and help with shameless objects. And they are not just children: adults on the way home from work, who need a pint of milk and half a dozen eggs, but not too fantasy to pay them.

I do not make judgments of the modern shoplifter. The cost of the life crisis It has been dragging for years and everyone feels the pinch. People need to feed on themselves and their children. If someone is to blame for shopping out, it’s about the shops itself. Supermarkets depend on more and more irritating and insecure cars. This means that there are fewer human beings to discourage thieves. The big stores have chosen to replace people with cars, because it is cheaper. But did they send these savings to the client? They don’t have.
