If this guy doesn't win, supermarkets are about to become completely intolerable

fook Sainsbury's and their dodgy creepy small man syndrome security guards.

If supermarkets had any sense they'd lobby the (admittedly possibly soon to fall) government to end the decriminalisation of shoplifting. Instead of paying little Hitlers to harass actual customers.

In Ireland he would be getting a decent amount of damages for something like this.

Clergs, you would like Ireland I think.  You are very Irish in your sensibilities.  I hope that you will not be offended by that.

Heh! Not at all. U might say I have some Waterford in me. 

I don't like the healthcare provision - where do they get off with that surplus and hospitals almost as bad as ours??

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with receipt gates. If this likely lad had forced his way through the bars without scanning then I could get behind the outrage. 

Nope she said they were knocking down houses, then backtracked to screaming 

THE POWER WAS ENACTED

(In like 1986)

As you well know 

Also vaccines work and 5g isn't made of cancer 

What a melt. The alarm went off when he left the store and he decided to ignore the security guard who asked him to stop. Rather than, you know, stop and explain that he’d paid.

He’s arguing that he went to school there 20+ years ago and so everyone in the area knows him. That seems like quite the stretch.

Also the Daily Mail comments section supports him. That tells you all you need to know.

yeah you are right when the alarm went off (an error caused by Sainsburys) he should have thrown himself on the floor and wailed I AM SOOOOO SOOOO SORRY

what sort of cuck wastes life minutes explaining themselves to the sainsburys idiot?

@ Rob Cannon, i worked in a major department store in Ireland when I was 20.  The security team told me that people would pretend to steal so they'd be nabbed outside the building and would get compensation for a false arrest.

That said, the professional thieves used to really impress me.  I once had an entire rack of Levi's jeans stolen whilst I was standing next to it... I saw nothing and neither did the security guard.

The claimant here sounds like a bit of a drama queen/chancer. But security guards should not be running down the street shouting 'stop thief' unless they are pretty fvcking sure that someone has stolen something.

Or, you know, having a grown up conversation about it. I know you like to overreact  but most people would manage to calmly but assertively say that they had paid.

What sort of cuck starts a topic on RoF about an incident that has zero impact on anyone else but thinks it will change supermarkets everywhere if Sainsburys wins?
