Well,obviously not in Lidl...Wilko..not all supermarkets have those sensors.
Also there was an incident in sainsburys,apparently forty teenagers,had been at a house party,they were thrown out because of their behaviour,they ended up at Sainsburys ,stealing,six police officers were called to the scene,but could do nothing with them...they weren't local these teenagers...I will be interested to hear what the outcome was.

Re: Shop lifting.
My local Wilko's used to have two doors, one on each corner of the long shop front. They have such a huge problem with shoplifting, they have now sealed up one of the doors and only have the one smaller entrance/exit now.I don't know if their stuff is tagged or not, most bigger shops tag I would have thought. It doesn't stop the thieves though, because as the alarm goes they leg it as fast as they can and are gone before the security guards nab them.
An employer at Wilko's told me a week or two back, they've had around £3,000 worth of cosmetics stolen for starters!
Their cosmetic shelves are always half empty.

Re: Shop lifting.
I was in Tesco once and saw a man stuff lots of cans in his pockets and up his jumper, turning to me he said " Here my lover have a tin of Salmon""Go away I said, you're stealing and on camera" "They are stealing for us said he with millions of profit every year.
I'm.off to the Wine Shop now to get my rations"
I found the manager and pointed him out, no one apprehended him and he walked through the check out paying for two tins only. I was not going to shout "Stop thief" when Tescos can't be bothered to police their stores. In any case criminals carry weapons are likely to injure you if you report them
He went to the Wine Shop and did the same.
A certain percentage can be claimed back from business profits due to stealing and damaged goods.
So it's hardly worth while prosecuting theft.
