    Our local big Sainsbury’s supermarket has installed airport-style barriers everywhere and you now have to queue and scan your receipt to get out.

    The store nearby installed that a while back, and someone just broke the gate down, and honestly I have never been more proud of my community.

      Actually when they tried to install electronic locks on the carts so they’d lock up if you went too far away, and the next day someone had stolen all the carts was also a big moment of local pride.

        And I bet that same community rails over the unfairness when the company does a blanket price rise to compensate for the equipment losses. Good job guys, stick it to the man!!

          The price will raise regardless, because thats’s how monoplies and price cartels work. They just blame their price gouging on the people trying to survive, same as always, and rubes with latent goosetepping instincts believe them, same as always.

      Proud of someone for damaging property? What a shitty community, honestly. Guy sounds like a cunt.

        Whoever did it saved the rest of us a huge amount of hassle. The only thing hurt was the bottom line of the shop that decided to annoy everyone for no good reason
