Sorry, I’m being dense this Sunday. How does this protect profit? Surely fitting employees with body cams eats into your profit as it is a cost?

Customers are significantly less likely to try and pocket something if there’s a risk of them being called up on it, or actually caught on camera.

Even if they never actually catch anyone, the fact that people can see the cameras would likely serve as a deterrent.

Is that not a good thing? Less chance of criminal activity, less chance of getting stabbed whilst stacking shelves?

Absolutely. I just find it a bit…much when they try to label this as a means to protect staff when everything they do signals that isn’t their main motive.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
