(UK)Supermarkets Decide To Limit Sales Of Baby Milk To Stop Bulk Buying To Feed China Market
"There are concerns that people are bulk-buying UK-labelled infant formula and sending it to China, where foreign-made powders are popular, especially in the wake of a scandal in 2008, in which six infants died and 300,000 fell ill after drinking locally-made formula laced with the industrial chemical melamine."
Melamine artificially (and illegally) boosts the protein content readings.
Just thinking of how the thief felt when he took the package home and pulled out an actual coffee maker instead of the loot he was expecting!
Tampering or theft. Those cans are expensive.
Well, at the rate of a quarter million illegal aliens a month coming across the border, that’s a lot of anchor babies in need of formula.
When the hell did we get baby shop lifters??
Next they’ll be pocketing pampers & teething biscuits.
Sure, as if I’m going to feed my baby formula sold by some dude at a flea market. Not. That’s asking for problems.
Tide laundry detergent was a high theft item a few years ago. How the heck does someone hide a big jug of laundry detergent in their pants?
My brother worked at Home Depot and management called him aside and told him that he was catching to many people stealing .....they said they knew how much stealing was going on and that those losses were already prices into the product on the shelf. No kidding. He quit.
I have also noticed they have dropped the amount of scent in detergents. Which is why I now have to buy those damned scent crystals.
Nothing is locked up here.
That element wears loose, saggy pants for a reason, obviously.
Formula can cost $28.00 a can (or more). A team of thieves could snatch a couple hundred dollars of merchandise in seconds.
well, sh!t, then.
In the inner city, we have corner stores, run by, well run by “immigrants”. The owner of these stores, let’s call him Abdul, will pay cash for ripped off merchandise to stock his shelves.
Many of the Walmarts in smaller Iowa cities have locked up lithium batteries for some time. Now that Iowa has fewer actual farmers (and fewer actual farm families) some towns welcome "diversity" and are willing to put all sorts of things under lock and key as long as there is a generous flow of SNAP, Section 8 and assorted FedGov money, and the newly-minted Iowans pop out enough kids to keep school enrollment numbers - which equal $$$ - up.
Guess that's why nothing here is locked up. We're lucky to have cheddar and mozz. On a wild and crazy day, there might be some packages of Kraft swiss slices. This week, I bought the only 4 shoulder roasts on the shelf, the only 3 cans of chili and the only 3 cans of spaghetti sauce. I was nice and left one coffee on the shelf. Yes, this is a real chain grocer. In the US. Not Venezuela.
It’s because of shoplifting by the little welfare queens.
Price. One of the most expensive items in store.
And you bypassed supporting a company that hates men... re: toxic masculinity.
They’ve been doing that for years. Too much theft.
