Just saw them call the cops to arrest a shoplifter. They brainwash people with all these fecking ads telling people you just gotta have this stuff and the next thing you know you're in the back of a cop van at Christmas.
You can sometimes stop this kind of crap if you're quick. On a previous occasion the staff had grabbed somebody and I managed to talk them into banning her for life rather than call the cops. I was way too slow today. You have a better chance of success if you can do it before the cops get involved. Anyway, always worth a try.
When I fail I take satisfaction in pointing out the only thief here is Tesco.
