    My local aldi has daily thieves that steal a basket full of groceries. The staff are told not to interfere. It’s pretty disheartening for them.

      I was in a handbag chain yesterday, and a man just reached into the store and took a handbag and kept walking. Apparently he does it a couple of times a week. The staff said that he’s banned from the shopping centre. I will admit I’m a sheltered being, but it surprised me.

      Rising cost of food leads people to steal. Wife and I do occasionally ‘forget’ to scan items at Woolies and Coles, but never Aldi. Somehow I feel wrong for doing it there.

        I actually did forget to scan some items the other week. I haven’t been back to that particular store since.

          I can tell you, staff don’t care. And if they recognize you, you can deny it. If they want to call the cops that’s on them. Cops won’t follow up anyway.
