Saw this sign at the entrance of a Nahkauf in Luckenwalde, Brandenburg. Any thoughts on what might have triggered this?

I mean, that one isn’t rocket science: It’s about theft.
Considering how regularly we get people posting here who claim that they had totally been intending to pay for the items that they had shoved into their backpack, but evil shop detectives got to them before they could…
“Excuse me, do I know you?”
Seen this often. Even in Zimmermann which is a super cheap Sondermarket. No need to take offence, just follow their request. Easy peasy
As this is worded, they are asking nicely for it, not prohibiting it outright.
People accidentally forgetting stuff in their backpack at checkout, obviously.
It’s fine for the supermarket to enforce this btw, house rules
Fine, I’ll go somewhere else then. How am I supposed to carry my stuff home if I’m not allowed to bring a bag/backpack? Unless maybe they have (free!) lockers at the entrance…
I see where they’re coming from but enforcing such a policy without providing lockers at the entrance would be plain stupid.
Sounds like escalation time…
If they had some lockers to store bags, fine! But if they don‘t I just bring them in. And in most cases they don’t have lockers.
Yea the shitty edeka besides my University had this. But no lockers etc. I wont put my Bag with my laptop random and the entrance for 20 minutes. Just never went there again after this rule was set up.
Would like to hear their definition of “gross”.
Early signs on upcoming white flight?
I would say it’s an overzealous supermarket manager “that triggered this”, not theft.
The only scenario where you can enter a supermarket without any of these items is when you come by car. So when you walk to the supermarket or come by bike, you are basically screwed.
Most supermarkets don’t ban bags because it’s an unreasonable expectation granted loads of people come with their own bags.
It’s the supermarket equivilant of the head teacher locking the toilets because the toilets are being vandalized.
What triggered this? Fucking hordes of kids. Go to one of the supermarkets that’s near a school between 12:30 and 13:30. They’re like locusts, and they steal, and if you have like 4-5 of them, and they all linger around, it gets too annoying and time consuming to check half a dozen backpacks
Happens here frequently. Where you see easily groups several groups, between 4 and 10 kids in each groups. Usually the 10 – 14 year olds. That’s be my guess at least.
„Haven’t seen it on entrance“ would be my first statement.
„I’ll take my business somewhere else“ the second.

Unusually high rates of shoplifting, obviously.
It’s worded as a request, though, not an order. The store can of course enforce its own house rules so long as they’re not discriminatory, but this is more like “Help us avoid misunderstandings” than “We’ll kick you out if we see you with a bag.”
