"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?" Grabbed a lime & a pack of salt! | |||

"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? | |||

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

" 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.

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: Inference=definition? If so to me the word 'grass' means 'tell tale'? Some instances I'd grass, only some. This wasn't one of those occasions | |||

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. | |||

Just because someone didn't grow up in a 'rough' area then they don't live in the real world. I hardly think it's a 'fairy tale' ending to expect to not be shot for reporting a crime. | |||

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. Well said. You're making a giant leap from shoplifting to mugging. But she might be a well off little old lady. In which case it's ok right? That's how a lot of these posts read.... Theft=crime, crime=wrong. " I can only speak for myself and I'm going to go into any further detail on where I stand but I have explained above. | |||

"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! 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." 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. | |||

" Problem is, you feel you're a victim and being robbed so your solution is to rob the the evil capitalists. So in essence their strategy of robbing you is perfectly valid and you just don't like the fact they've won! Great ideology. | |||

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 would have done what you did OP. Tell security. Some think it's a victimless crime because it's from a store/shop. In reality, the consumer ends up footing the bill of the thefts, because the retailers up their prices to cover the loss ." with all the advancement of cctv etc... the highest amount in cash value theft from high street retailers is from employees | |||

Why don't you google average profit margins in retail while you're on a learning binge no need to go that far look at annual profits there in the billions if you take the top 5 greed greed greed" Sorry to repeat myself but the profits they make from just 'strawberries' out weigh all their other product profits put together. It's staggering. | |||

The block is a reminder not to meet anyone you've verified since we take our sexual health very seriously. Nothing to do with your poorly educated opinions on economics. | |||

"Since when did shoplifting become acceptable? It's not on. Regardless of how much was nicked. We will all pay for it in the end. Supermsrkets are not going to sit idly by and just take the hit. They are going to pass the cost on to you and I. As any company would do. What sort of example are we setting when we say shoplifting is ok. " Who said it was? | |||

"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." Spot on | |||

Reading the comments, it would seem some think it's acceptable. | |||

" i find the glorified righteous that belong to the spelling /grammer brigade the porn squad and the high and mighty are the disruptive ones as everyone else takes the threads as light heartedness any they love to name call read the comments and cannot even see wind up threads or joke threads when slapped on the ass with them instead calling other profiles and so on how far up the educated ladder is that?? | |||

"i think most of the comments are just joking snitches gets stitches being one of them and too many love to take apart comments and create trouble they are known as keyboard warriors" Nobody is forced to read forums or post on them. If anyone feels like they have an opinion to offer they should be prepared to defend that opinion if someone else takes it apart or calls B/S. | |||

"i just googled out of interest shoplifting is on a decline over last 10 years so why have the prices not been reduced???? " You will find that it's no longer reported as a crime. The big chains have taken a civil action now do it will make it look like it has fallen on paper but its increasing year on year along with staff shrinkage. | |||

"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?" Well done. It's comforting to know that there are decent minded people like you out there. | |||

"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. I get what you are saying but I took the red pill so many years ago. | |||

"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 | |||
