"Have it, go on, have it" looks like they enjoy their work too much.

they seem like the sort who would have a white Volvo with blue lights fitted to their car, and stick a hi viz on the parcel shelf.

40 pounds fine - that'll teach them. They should all be banged up for 10 years while receiving daily buggerings from an AIDS infested lifer whose penis resembles popeye's forearm holding a grapefruit.

This.

Surely there's some way we can just.. you know.. 'get rid' of them?

No...? Not at all?

When I worked in the centre of Birmingham I used to go for a pint or two after work. There were plenty of people selling stolen food. They had no shortage of customers either

Carrying handcuffs too, though I doubt they are able to use them. As said, strange pair.

I'd like to know how corn on the cob holders can be used to aid a shoplifter, google is coming back with nothing, for once.

Bit of both, I'd say. Sitting on ones ar*e looking at monitors all day probably doesn't help either.

Whilst anyone in their right mind would deplore theft, I wonder what the security guys are in it for. I doubt there's any great buzz from protecting perfume, so I suspect it's the plastic policeman end of things & people like that are not ones I'd want in my orbit.

Can only imagine it's to take off the magnet-type tags with brute force (slide them in the gap from either side and rip it off). I would have thought they would have designed them to stop this, but if you can stop the smaller sticky ones just by putting it on your hand im not sure now.

They obviously do a job though, I'm sure theres someones sitting in an office somewhere looking at Cost of Blokes in an Office vs Loss of Goods to Shoplifters and working out if they're worth it.

The two lads sitting at home on Facebook were a little odd though.
