    Well yes, of course they couldn’t do anything. I used to run a large convenience store before leaving retail for good around 15 years ago - I know the score. But it didn’t stop ruining their day, and making them feel helpless.

    The issue is the knock on effects. One of my staff members back then had her ribs broken in one shoplifting attack, and that was unprovoked. Police never caught the guy.

      Yeah, I am not saying that they’re not right to be afraid. I luckily was never robbed, but two of my co-workers were.

      The British police are in an unacceptable state.
