I pay for them, the stores just add the costs to the prices.
Exit sensors for items that have not been scanned?
More CCTV coverage?

no one likes a "grass"...I don't mind that...I won't stand by,watch shoplifters taking their pick,while I pay for my shopping.
Me busy?
Well I've been round the block a few times but in addition number among my friends some from waay back who had a similar start in life to my own but took a very different path with whom I've kept in contact who when visiting us can and occasionally do recount things that undoubtedly would shock you.
Not Bubbameister's things, or more properly Zaydemeister's things but genuine reminiscing.
For example - put in a way that you probably need in order to understand.
Naughty man goes into shop.
See the naughty man?
He offers the shop owner insurance against being hurt or shop being burned to the ground with him in it.
See shop owner laugh!
That night the naughty man sends a friend round with a lump hammer and can of petrol mixed with sugar and fairy liquid.
Nasty big lump hammer!
"Smash!" Tinkle of glass!
We don't like broken glass, it can hurt.
Smell the petrol?
Man with hammer crosses road and throws bottle of petrol mixed with sugar through broken window!
Look at the fire ball. It is yellow.
Man with lump hammer legs it.
See man run!
Not a thing that I've ever done but seen done first hand albeit many years ago.
Did you understand that?

I guess that I'm a bit of an enigma in many respects. I bought my shovel in a bit of a rough area (bit?) unlike most of my erstwhile mates didn't follow the career stream into a bit (?) of a rough life.
Even after graduating my career rapidly changed from pure academia to industry then from a technical stream into management as a result of chasing cash rather than paper.
Nonetheless I've lost touch with very few of my "old" friends though some have been out of general circulation, in one case for just over ten years! It could have been longer but he kept his nose clean.
So I accept that for the naive it must be hard to understand that there are people in this world that have a chequered past, indeed there's times now when I sit back with photo albums and grandkids and give a bit of background to some of the snaps I find I almost have to metaphorically kick myself to believe that I really have done the things let alone having been to places that the pictures bring to mind.
Like the time I was banged up in jail in Nigeria ---- don't ask.
Or my bowels opened at an Aeroflot check-in desk at a very crowded Sheremetyevo International Airport Moscow while trying to beat salmonella to the departure gate.
Salmonella won.
Memorable.

Now then...don't get your knickers in a twist...remember that quote.
