Security tagged milk is crazy.

  1. When I was a kid working at Sainsbury’s 20+ years ago, we used have this group of homeless people who lived outside.

    Annoyingly, they used to come in and each open a bottle of milk, have a drink and then just dump the rest on the floor.

    I get that life is hard, but I was a kid earning like £5 an hour. I didn’t need the stress of getting that cleaned up every night.

  2. Rob Moore does live in Peterborough, so that explains a lot of it.

  3. This isn’t “the uk” . I’ve never seen this in my life . This is simply whatever shithole this Tesco is in

  4. If you ever see a genuinely hungry person shoplifting food, no, you didn’t

  5. Guys the last time I was in the UK milk was less than a pound. What is going on over there?

  6. Civilisation is not over until the rich tea biscuits are locked up

  7. Oh but there’s always been shoplifting remember. And it isn’t coming out of your paycheck so why do you care?

    Just ignore the fact that every time you go to the shop more and more basic groceries are tagged.

  8. Tesco milk has cloudy clear caps now? Not seen it with green caps in a few years

  9. It is postcode based

    if the police patrol the supermarkets they get dogs abuse for “not doing their job” and so people get robbed, the shop gets robbed all the time etc.

    so the shop closes after 7pm (london) or they do things like this

  10. wait for it all to be locked behind a counter and its a pure “click & collect” service

  11. Inner city Tesco Express I presume. No such trouble at the one in village where I live

  12. This sub used to be fun and whitty.

    Tell me me this sub is over without telling me this sub is over.

  13. How do these lockboxes work? If I had to summon staff to access the cheese, then I’d shop somewhere less insulting and time consuming.

  14. This is definitely somewhere like Stockton in Middlesbrough

  15. Maybe if chronically online people would stop supporting / defending thieves and people stood ip to them more often, this wouldn’t be a thing.

  16. The “tell me [thing] without telling me [thing]” craze is so tiresome now.

  17. Not in my local farm shop as, well, thieving scumbags with the IQ of a brick aren’t the usual clientele.

  18. THIS IS CAPTALISM

    After we end it everything will be free

  19. I buy that cheese and it’s not locked in my local coop. Depends on the area and what is missing the most off stocktake I imagine

  20. I have never seen this, and I am in a large town not even a small village

  21. Tbf cheese is the most stolen thing in the world

    Except labour of course.

  22. Surely those tags cost more than the milk? Also how does the tag stop me drinking the milk?

  23. No one is actually security tagging milk. The margins on milk are so slim it simply isn’t worth anyone’s time.

    He’s a gullible moron.

  24. The supermarket giant said a small amount of milk at the Pool store had been incorrectly tagged and the tags have now been removed.

    A Tesco spokesperson said: “We do not have a policy to place security tags on fresh milk. A very small amount of milk was incorrectly tagged today in our Redruth Extra store and these tags have now been removed. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

    That’s the real story. No milk is getting tagged and this is ragebait. People are falling for it even in this thread and that’s why grifters keep doing it.

  25. Talking about superfluous security tags when your name is ‘Rob Moore’ is pretty hilariously on the nose.
