Morrisons idiots!

Posted by Stan Wears on 22/4/2026, 7:06 pm

Just watched the itv news. A store manager has been sacked for tackling a shoplifter. They say it is not their policy to tackle shoplifters. In Liverpool, the booze is behind locked shelves and you ring for service. Ah well, sounds good so lets grab a bag and go for free goodies...I have a lady friend who works in Morrisons and she was reprimanded for talking to customers. What a stinking world we live in...

Saw this morning TV, the head of the Met Police, said he was dumbfounded that this guy was sacked! Well said, Sir.
Yes, we should challenge shoplifters, if you feel able, as he said.
But the police should also step up to the challenge.
The policy announced a while ago, that shoplifting of under £200, they wouldn't bother attending, or investigating...

Open house for shoplifters, then?

Absolutely crazy, an employee sacked for protecting against scum shoplifters, people should protest by removing their custom until this man is re employed and given a pay rise, they have certainly lost my custom !

Understand where everyone is coming from, if it was me they could take the whole shop and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

These scum shoplifters seem to be just getting away with it which just encourages others to do the same. I can understand shops wanting to protect their staff but these thieves just cannot get away with blatant theft !

Me and Joan were sitting in our Boldon Colliery dentists opposite Heron foods and saw 2 or 3 young thugs run out with armfulls of stuff theyd stole.
The receptionist said it's a common occurrence.
POLICE are rare in our Towns nowadays so it's getting lawless in our area.

A while ago I did a spell in the Hartlepool hospice charity shop. A scumbag stole about 10 cds and I tackled him outside the shop. The police were called and they said at £1 per cd it wouldcost a lot more to take him to court. The result, he walked away free....
