Our local big Sainsbury's supermarket has installed airport-style barriers everywhere and you now have to queue and scan your receipt to get out.
As a kid, I always wanted to live in some science fiction futuristic society. I never thought that I'd actually grow up to live somewhere where I had to scan to get out a supermarket only to be under threat of attack by ravaging killer dogs.
And I bet that same community rails over the unfairness when the company does a blanket price rise to compensate for the equipment losses. Good job guys, stick it to the man!!
The price will raise regardless, because thats's how monoplies and price cartels work. They just blame their price gouging on the people trying to survive, same as always, and rubes with latent goosetepping instincts believe them, same as always.
Those gates are so fucking stupid. They barely work, usually one of the two actual gates doesn't open, and the gates stay open long enough that multiple people can just walk through. I kinda really hate having to prove I've just paid for the things I've just overpaid for.
I’m not an expert on Sainsburys, really. We just used to shop there. Most of it is self-checkout but they do have 3 or 4 tills with checkout workers down at one end. I guess you could walk through there. Also there’s a security guard who I guess could let you out.
I only put up with it once - about 3 weeks ago - and haven’t been there since. We’ve done our family shopping there for 15+ years.

well, I would hope so. we shouldn't be accepting this shit lying down.
Of course, but there's taking action and there's shooting yourself in the foot

Proud of someone for damaging property? What a shitty community, honestly. Guy sounds like a removed.

Break every gate, sensor and camera. Take back a tiny slice of your agency in this burning world.
