• so members of staff walking out past the tills with bikes was a regular occurrence and didn't raise any questions. Obviously some members of staff took note/advantage of this.

    The handful of times I’ve been to Halfords some alarm or other has gone off at the door, with the robust man at the entrance being completely unbothered. Makes me wonder if he’s there to keep an eye on customers or on staff.

  • I used to work in Snow and Rock years back, we were always told not to really do anything if the alarms went off - if we chased or anything and got injured it became an insurance / liability problem or something. Maybe that's different for security guards

  • I was a weekend lad at B&Q in the late 90s. Most of us jumped at the chance to chase shoplifters through the car park, it was the most excitement we were likely to get.
