Alternate headline : “Supermarkets have jacked the prices so high, making record profits in tough times, that people have resorted to stealing in order to live”.
I saw a shitty looking steak at coles the other day, over $60 a KG. It had bloody RFID sensors on it. What a world.
Pay people more so theft goes down? Fucking never!
Give body cameras to staff. Sounds perfect

I mean, people should get payed more, but what do you expect a single (relatively) small grocery chain to do? Also this is more about protecting staff as they have to be the ones to turn them on when an incident occurs rather than an always-on thing
Considering how much shit I see retail workers go through, this… honestly seems like a rational response. I’m sure it will immediately turn into middle managers using it to abuse employees of course though.
Sure, a rational response in a dystopian country
