It doesn’t sound like they’re that fussed but some stores will let repeat thieves reach a certain threshold to hit them with harder charges.
Eseman-
You could be right but there’s a few that I have noticed(I try not to shop there too often) that have been at it for a good couple of years now.
It must really screw with your head if you work there as presumably the policy is they can’t confront/chase shoplifters but to be stood at the counter and see a regular walk in knowing full well exactly what they’re about to do is crazy.I wonder if they bring the basket back each time of if these folks just have a pile of them in their homes...

On the subject of obvious looting, the Co-op in the ground floor of our building gets utterly rinsed by the kids from the school next door every day.
To call it brazen is an understatement and the staff do nowt.
My partner recently asked the store manager about it. The woman shrugged and said they decided to get rid of the security guard as they cost more in wages each than the value of the thefts.
So yeah, Billet Rd Co-op E17 people literally fill a basket, walk out with it and come back the next day and do it again. It’s wild.
