Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wait really? Lmao what the fuck
depends on the store.
Though it was cheese I saw that was locked up in actual fkn boxes. Similar articles mention other measures like only stocking 3 or 4 expensive items at a time so a smash n grab isn't as lucrative.
Also, shops about the size of a bodega or gas station store often have private security during evenings, but that has been a thing for years now??? idk I only noticed it since I moved to England from Wales in 2017. Theyve been a thing at larger stores for longer but now even smaller (usually chain) stores enlist them.
Cheese is extremely good to steal. Really easy shape to pocket and feeds you for a week's worth of sandwiches.
Cheese, ham and butter are probably the most stolen food items. Then the bread is paid for.
I've swiped a few things through self checkouts - usually extra pricey vegan meat lmao. It's just so funny how these same stores usually have a food bank collection at the front that's entirely customer-funded when fuckloads of perishable meats, dairy, etc. are just thrown out or sold at a massive discount via those discount food waste apps.
I always think about this when I see those food donation boxes, what a joke
