Does anyone else feel like supermarket employees are on a bit of a power trip?
The patrolling of the self serve thing really gives me metro ticket inspector vibes. I'm constantly having them look over my shoulder as though I'm going to steal.
Admittedly I live in a shitty area and am a minority so maybe I get singled out but it really gets on my nerves.
I make enough that I don't need to steal food. Fuck right off.
Sorry it's been bugging me for a while now.
/Rant
I work in retail and it's because shoplifting is increasing massively with cost of living crisis. At work we've been told to be more vigilant.
