They aren't locking customers in until they can prove they aren't a shoplifter. Do I really need to spell it out?

Don't go to Costco then. They check every ones receipts  as they leave.

Really? 

 

Wow. They do.

 

"Before you exit the building, you must show your receipt to store employees so they can verify your purchase. According to the Costco website, they do this “to double-check that the items purchased have been correctly processed” by their cashiers."

 

Not only is that incredibly disrespectful to their customers but also shows they have no faith in their staff.

Absolutely deplorable..

All of them and all of Sainsbury’s security guards have been personally trained by Steven Seagal .

Costco sell in bulk and you don't put everything on the conveyor belt, You leave the heavy items on the bottom of your trolley and the cashier scans them.  It's just a quick check as your leaving. I've never seen anyone complaining about it.

We have done this already. No branch in Sheffield does this.

It’s been on the news that Wilko is going into administration. The cost of living is one reason and more competition.

Given that the UK has one of the worst inflation figures of the Eurozone and North America, you might've thought that Tory MPs would be a little more careful in sticking the boot in to those struggling, at least credit people with a bit more intelligence.

Not a bit of it:

The rate of inflation has fallen. 

 

Just seen Angela Rayner on the  BBC.  She said prices are still going up but just not so by as much which is correct.  When asked how the Labour party would reduce the inflation rate faster she said the Labour party has a plan to bring down the NHS waiting list.
