Ik someone who works in Sainsbury’s and she wears a bodycamera
Honestly, how long until all of us are wearing body cameras so we have accurate evidence of what is happening?
“Mr Murphy write in the Mail on Sunday that a law should be introduced to make abuse or violence towards retail workers an offence in its own right across the UK”
Is brandishing a knife at someone not already an offense?
Surely the problem is a shameful lack of policing and more people falling into poverty following 15 years of tory rule. how is creating an offense out of something that is already an offense going to change anything?
If, as a giant corporate entity, your employees are getting wide spread abuse, you need to look at your company and assess why so much anger exists. The problem is likely rooted in Tesco treating it’s customers like shit whilst they are living through an economic crisis.
Yes, somebody who snaps and draws a weapon is ultimately in the wrong, but with the numbers of customers Tesco has there was always a good chance somebody would snap.
I mean, Tesco and others are being scrutinized for price increases beyond those justified by increased costs of of manufacturing. They harvest their customer’s data, or make them pay more. They discontinue larger “bulk” size of goods, forcing people to buy smaller more expensive sizes.
I’ve now found that the difference between a Tesco shop and a Waitrose shop (the other one I have locally) has become much smaller, and I get higher quality produce. Asda, Lidl and Aldi are much more worth the trip now.
In my opinion Tesco have used Inflation as an excuse to go to town on price rises.
Seriously. Emulating the USA’s criminal “policies” is stupid, and I live here. Next thing he’s going to suggest all your cops have guns, and then suddenly you’ll have black market firearms everywhere.
Every police officer in Northern Ireland has firearms and there’s no issue
The video in that article is wild, what the actual fuck
If someone is already assaulting a member of staff, what stops them just stealing the camera?
Call me cynical, but it sounds like a disguise for a profit protection thing.
