By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I was casually shopping in Lidl and stood looking at the sugar content in some granola bars, when a guy walked past me exclaimed tequila ooooo £14.99 very nice. Picked it off the shelf and pocketed it. Walked off and was gone. Some old woman saw it as well and started laughing, so I went and told the security guard but he never caught them.

They looked like right scrotes high on gear, what would you have done?

I would have rugby tackled him to the floor and explained that his action puts the prices up for all of us, while at the same time keeping the staffs wages low.

I would also point out that if he robs the same bottle from Waitrose it would double his 5 finger discount...

If it was a lad breaking into a car at Lidls to knick the knicked bottle I would of grassed.

If it was a lad trying to hold up a till operator to knick the money of the same value (£15) I would of grassed.

If I could of been a hero I would of.

As mentioned I don't agree with theft.

In this case Lidl can afford to lose the sale of £15 without too much pain being caused.

In my opinion.

I saw a guy who looked extremely hungry,take yogurts a few weeks ago, but I tried not to notice and embarrass him.

I think there are one or two cases where I would gladly offer pay for it given the opportunity, if I felt someone was hungry.

Not saying I disagree with you, and also agree with the shop policy of not interfering as safety of staff is more important, but the inference of the term grass is disproval of people doing the right thing.

I run a stall at craft fairs quite often, petty theft can make the difference between a break even day or a loss making day. Watching for shoplifters is bloody annoying and I will stop someone steeling from me if it's £50 or 50p makes no difference.

I work for a major supermarket. A few weeks ago one of our security guards chased a shoplifter stealing alcohol. They jumped into a car that was waiting and ran him over to get away leaving him laying in the car park with head injuries.

Thankfully he wasn't too badly injured and has made a full recovery.

It's all well and good trying to be a hero but the company doesn't pay enough to put your life at risk.

Yeah same here when I had my business or from my home. In fact I've taken it into my own hands and grassed in the past but it wasn't over a bottle of drink.

But we are talking about a shop that rings in £1000s per minute, that's all.

I'm not anti Lidl, I'd be the same with any large supermarket.

It would be different with your stall, my ex small business or Mr Patel shop four doors down from mine.

I'm not sure what you ment with 'inference' etc sorry, I'm going to guess with:

If so to me the word 'grass' means 'tell tale'?

Someone should tell the staff at my local aldi then, because one of their staff members came running out of the shop like Eric Cantona last week, and booted a shoplifter into the middle of the road, I thought the poor thieving FUCKER was going to die right there in the street for a block of cheese and a pack of bacon

Selective use if the law generally degenerates into chaos.

They do make thousands but it's about the act itself and the dishonesty.

I hate this concept that there's honour amongst thieves and the like. Don't kid yourself. Choose if you want to do the decent thing. It may run off on others and the way they act too.

It's important you remember the bit where I say I don't agree with theft. In fact it's vital.

Also the situation. I'm in lidl (mine dosent have security guards).

I look over from the bakery section and see a guy grab a bottle of spirits (£15) and make a run for it.

Would I stop what I'm doing to run to the same door to tell the one guard they have (which mine dont) to tell him 'that guy there has knicked a bottle)?

No I wouldn't.

If my Daughter was with me I wouldn't even need to remind her to never do that, ever. As she already knows not to. I have already passed the lesson down over the last 16 years.

You see now, I'm not kidding anybody. I know what's right and what's wrong and sometimes it better to say nothing at all.

Sadly for the security guard (who has to act, mentioned above) came off worse. It's not worth it.

They're not shoplifters until they have left the store, it is only then that they can be stopped. Staff are not trained to deal with these situations and the 'duty of care for staff' means that they should avoid and contact the police.

This. Theft is wrong, full stop. It doesn't matter whether it's a big or small shop. Every shoplifter costs them money and they make allowance for it in their pricing due to its prevalence. Therefore shoplifters are responsible for the higher prices you pay.

I'm totally bewildered that anyone would be pleased about it.

I'm assuming there's some line where it changes from well done to that's bad. Could someone point out what line that is and how it was decided?

Yeah the robbing capitalist scum picking on the oppressed in our oppressive military like regime.

That facist regime,providing food that you can choose or decline to buy, who employs people and pays them, then in turn provides wages for the people who farm, drive the delivery trucks, produce the food etc.

Anyone woukd think there's some sort of system in place to provide organisation and structure and opportunity?

But feel free to go out and thieve and create a better choice.

I can't fathom how so many of you condone a thief , and almost congratulate him !

Wtf ?

It's a sad state of affairs when the majority of people on a public forum have these thoughts .

This. Theft is wrong, full stop. It doesn't matter whether it's a big or small shop. Every shoplifter costs them money and they make allowance for it in their pricing due to its prevalence. Therefore shoplifters are responsible for the higher prices you pay.

I'm totally bewildered that anyone would be pleased about it.

I'm assuming there's some line where it changes from well done to that's bad. Could someone point out what line that is and how it was decided? "

I'm totally with the shoplifter. We're all being shafted. Big time. The rules are to protect the thems from the us. Break the rules. Steal stuff.

Nescafe is £8 one week and £5 the next. Beef is horse meat etc. Fuck that!

"I wouldn't of grassed.

It wasn't a car, It's wring to commit theft but it's low end but theft all the same.

Still wouldn't of grassed.

This "wouldn't of grassed" thing,

why not?

Where is the limit between being a grass and being a responsible citizen?

"

Agree. Its wrong and it never just one bottle that is stolen... lots of other things and there is a right and a wrong. Youre not setting an example for your kids or any children if you think stealing is ok. Jeez

"I was casually shopping in Lidl and stood looking at the sugar content in some granola bars, when a guy walked past me exclaimed tequila ooooo £14.99 very nice. Picked it off the shelf and pocketed it. Walked off and was gone. Some old woman saw it as well and started laughing, so I went and told the security guard but he never caught them.

They looked like right scrotes high on gear, what would you have done?"

Incorrect.

Its classed as theft the moment they pass "the last point at which it would be possible to make a payment"...this establishes intent, last time I looked, no supermarket had tills in the doorway.

And, for the record, I would have dropped the thieving scum and sat on him until the Police arrived, and prayed that he wanted to make a go of it.

Theft from retail outlets means we ALL pay, security, tagging, and losses increase the costs of running the shops, and that's passed on to us, the law-abiding shoppers.

It's actually an offence the moment they do something more than a preparatory act and gave the intent to steal.

It's proving it that's the issue hence security staff don't tend to challenge until the offender is attempting to leave.

The old, oh I forgot it was in my pocket offence is a classic!

Where is the country going with this selective laws thing !! Everyone knows what's right and wrong. Some just choose to be selective about implementing it.

I've been on the opposite side of this scenario. I worked in a supermarket (stacking shelves). A chav walks in, picks up 24 cans and walks out. I saw it, as did another member of staff who said i should go after him. I went outside and saw the chav walking off. Then i realised that i didn't actually trust the supermarket to have my back if shit got real (i.e. he tried to take action against me) so i left it.

When I had my own shop, I chased someone out who took a door stop off the floor. Looking back it was the silliest thing to do but luckily a strapping guy helped me to stop him.

I've worked in retail since and most places say just to let them go. It's not really worth getting hurt.

This is abhorrent attitude to society, same attitude as women in short skirts are "asking for it"

No supermarket ever knowingly sold horse meat instead of beef, and prices are set to cover having a nice building lit up and staffed close to you the customer, when the warehouse is over stocked you ship it out at cost to make space.

Those that support shoplifters should be sentenced the same as those committing the crime.

I know but it's a slippery slope when we all stop taking action for fear that it will be turned around on us. I think this is why anti-social behaviour is so pervasive in this country. I actually very much enjoy being an ethnic minority in my local area (asian area). Because the asians don't tolerate this bullshit, you walk down the street doing something bad and 10 doors fling open to sort it out. In a white neighbourhood nobody does anything until one person can't stand it, then they get targeted for revenge.

No, having worked in retail for years they take into account "shrinkage" and add this to the prices. The larger retailers also look to their suppliers to cover shrinkage costs which in turn puts up the price of products. Theft affects everyone.

Okay. Calm down. My attitude to society is horrendous. But to compare it to short skirts, and "asking for it", is another giant leap.

Just because I want to see humanity burn in massive ball of flames. That doesn't mean I advocate that sort of scenario.

But it's how you intervene that's relevant? Sure physical intervention can result in acts of violence or counter allegations.

People can take a photo, report it to the police or even call them?

It's funny how everyone steps forward with photographs when a Police officer tackles someone and scuffles with them during arrest. They're happy to grass then?

"Where does it end ?

I can't fathom how so many of you condone a thief , and almost congratulate him !

Wtf ?

It's a sad state of affairs when the majority of people on a public forum have these thoughts .

This. Theft is wrong, full stop. It doesn't matter whether it's a big or small shop. Every shoplifter costs them money and they make allowance for it in their pricing due to its prevalence. Therefore shoplifters are responsible for the higher prices you pay.

I'm totally bewildered that anyone would be pleased about it.

I'm assuming there's some line where it changes from well done to that's bad. Could someone point out what line that is and how it was decided?

I'm totally with the shoplifter. We're all being shafted. Big time. The rules are to protect the thems from the us. Break the rules. Steal stuff.

Nescafe is £8 one week and £5 the next. Beef is horse meat etc. Fuck that! "

Perhaps you'd like to print your address and times you're likely to be out.maybe leave the back door open to make it a bit easier for them.

"no one likes a grass

Do people have more sympathy for a thieving bstrd whose selfish and greedy actions affect all of us?

It's not a case of sympathy it's a case of grasses get shot where I come from. We don't all live in fairy tale worlds some of us are in the real world...

Fortunately,we don't all live in dystopic,post apocalyptic nightmares where we are all intimidated by scavengers and hoodlums either.

One day it's a bottle of tequila from lidls,next day it's an elderly ladies purse.Leaving her battered and bruised but,,,,better pretend not to have seen anything.Don't want to be called a grass,do we? Better just let the low lifes get on with it as we cower in fear.

Fact is the OP did the right thing, hopefully the security guard will remember the thief and next time they will be banned from the store.

In any part of this country 99% of the people around you are decent law abiding citizens. Where it breaks down is when good people do nothing for the small stuff, then recoil in horror when those who robbed shops with impunity start robbing others on a larger scale.

Well done OP, you did something that will help not harm.

Yes I have. And it was positively dealt with.

From my perspective we get the service we deserve in the UK.

We persistently slate them in the press, criticise them with no knowledge of the job itself and on the whole refuse to support them. Then complain when we want them.

Make your minds up. When the service is poor it's as a result of cuts and generally people refusing ..."to grass".

It's only as good as the support it gets.

Theft is theft. Mugging is a violent crime. Most shoplifters aren't violent. If they were, they'd be muggers.

I think the police are designed to be ineffective. It's not the fault of the people themselves, it's the sheer volume of paperwork and form filling that's the problem.

Those that support shoplifters should be sentenced the same as those committing the crime.

Okay. Calm down. My attitude to society is horrendous. But to compare it to short skirts, and "asking for it", is another giant leap.

Even if it is a giant leap from one kind of crime to another the attitude is still the same,,,the attitude of selfishness,of free,instant gratification 'I want that so I'm taking it'. It's not a giant leap to an attitude of 'every person for themselves' survival,not necessarily of the fittest,but of the most callous,devious and cunning.

Ok,so society means living under rules,some may not like the rules but anarchy could very easily backfire on those who call for the abolition of rules in the fist place.

It's also very easy to whine and complain against society when that very society protects you from the mob.

I think my opinion on this has been pretty clear, thieves should be reported, small crimes lead to bigger crimes etc.

Shock horror businesses make profit... and big businesses make big profit, who would have thought that people investing billions, employing thousands would be doing it for reward? You can always boycott the shop and go direct to the supplier if you don't like it.

As for the chop off hands brigade, it's amazing how many who advocate that also get angry at the media suggestion that sharia law is being brought to this country

Not into violence against criminals other than for self defence, but may go as far as suggesting a forehead tattoo so shops can easily prevent access.

As an ex Store Detective, I'd have advised store security about him straight off.

Shoplifters add costs to your everyday goods as retailers don't absorb that, but add it on to shoppers!

Please. It's such a weak argument. A shop OWNER rips me off to a far greater extent than a shoplifter.

"Was in Argos one Saturday morning and noticed a shifty looking bloke, after looking at a stand of dvds he slipped one in jacket and left. I told the woman who served me and she told me that they've been told not to confront shoplifters, wtf! "

Heard something similar in a couple of other shops. Maybe in case the shoplifters fall in the chase and get hurt! ffs
