  3. I saw someone in a hoodie run into a mini-Tesco and put a whole shelfs worth of instant coffee into a bag, then leg it out.

    So yeah, I guess we’re here now.

  5. Nescafé Gold Blend for £10.50 ???

    I think even the Duke of Westminster would be tempted to shoplift rather than pay that.

  6. I saw a jar of Nutella in a lock box on Co-op the other day.

  7. I’ve seen cheese locked in the spider alarms last year, we’ve been there for a while.

  10. No, that is just the beginning.

    Next: This banana is GPS tracked by a Tomahawk missile
    .

  11. Strangest was the £13 bottle of Bells cooling “whiskey” in one of these but the £50 bottle of Laphroaig next to it being unfettered

  12. I don’t know what they are referring to. 10.50 for some shitty instant coffee or the boxes they are locked up in.

  14. £10.50 for the shittiest household coffee you can buy

  15. Just go out a spoonful of dirt in some hot water and you’ve got the same thing

  16. I worked in Kwik Save in the late 90s in Rusholme in Manchester. We had to put all liquor, razor blades baking powder and tin foil behind reinforced plastic walls.

    I once chased someone near Maine Road who had stuffed so much bacon in their trousers that they looked like the Michelin man. Happy times……

  18. This is an accidental renaissance photo if I’ve ever seen one.

  19. Honestly at these prices they deserve to be robbed.

    They grow, harvest and dry beans then throw them in a bottle – how does that justify these prices for a commodity that sells for pennies in the countries they’re produced in?

  20. Ahhh the Co-Op, where everything has a 100000% mark up

  21. With the number of people glorifying and praising theft, justifying career shoplifters and the weird idea of what is a necessity, are you really surprised we’re getting to this point?

  23. They started tagging the Akee and saltfish in South London. Yeah….that went well

  25. Could we not just arm the security guards with the same sort of cattle prod from one of the best ‘Bottom’ episodes ever? The videos of hapless aspiring footballers/scientists/engineers shitting their pants whilst trying to waddle out of their local smash & grab of choice would fetch a mint on YouTube, offsetting the robbery cost.

  26. Yes. I was in Boots earlier and you can’t even pick up the sample perfumes any more to smell them, they’re attached to the stand and your only option is to spray a piece of card without moving the bottle. They are sucking all of the enjoyment out of everything

  27. A single regular sized Red Bull. And a jar of Horlicks. (Both in a Tesco Express)

  29. I watched a guy scooping raw coffee into his face until his carers dragged him out of the store so, makes some kinda sense.

  30. I saw a bottle of malt vinegar in one of these and was very confused. Who’s stealing all this vinegar?

  33. What am I looking at? I mean packaging has gone too far. You pop open a bag of monster munch and it’s like 60% thin air. Now they’re doing it with coffee! Their plan is flawed because I’m smart enough to realise the packaging is see through so when I open my huge cuboid of coffee I bought for 5 quid I WILL NOT be surprised to discover there’s a lot less coffee in there. They can’t fool me anymore! I’m no fool!

  34. Pretty sure finding cock rings and vibrators in Poundland was a bit of a trip. I suppose the clue was in the name …….

  36. This is some dystopian horror shit.

    Are we the Zombies?

  38. Tell me you’re in a city centre Co-op store, without telling me you’re in a city centre Co-op store
