Tesco Shoppers are threw new security devices in the supermarket

The movement is believed to prevent shopping and theft in the supermarket, but consumers have described plastic covers as “absolutely crazy”, while others have threatened that they “will not stop shopping”.

A Tiktok user was not alone as they asked: “How does this stop?”

Another commented: “So you can slide it and get what you need, so how to stop the store elevators?”

A third asked: “I do not see how to stop someone not to pay for it.”

Someone who asked “what exactly does this have?” Continued: “BC that does not prevent people from stealing that other super markets have to follow Lidl must scan that you are kept to leave the store.”

In the agreement, a user added: “It was eliminated in a few seconds …”

Many customers said they would “stop” shopping at Tesco if this were introduced in their local store, as he said: “If I have to do this IMMA, stop shopping at Tesco.”

A second profile put: “Forget about stopping shopping, this no longer shopping.”

This buyer shared: “I would just go shopping elsewhere.”

“He is absolutely crazy,” a person wrote.

However, some have been in favor of new security devices, as this retail worker shared: “I work in retail, I think it is a decent idea, it is strong, so you can hear it and prevent customers from loading a product full of product, so it gives you time to get there.”
