Tesco staff

Are to be given / offered body cams

As violent assaults on staff increase

Jeez us wept

 

[Dork Lard]

Giving 'em body cameras is a soundbite that is aimed at pacifying YOU . . . After you have absorbed the opinion that they want you to form.

You must know that it is nonsense, 'cos your every move in their stores is closely monitored on CCTV.

It's another visible deterrent given that CCTV obviously doesn't stop attacks on staff.

Just another example of the nonsense . . . . If the CCTV isn't a deterrent, then how can a body cam stop them?

They are stealing from supermarkets & they don't care if anyone see's them or records them on cam.

Calm down. Employers have a legal duty to protect their staff so they are introducing body cams. It's a visual deterrent which has been shown to work in similar situations.

Does anyone know the type of attacks staff are having to endure ? Is it primarily stealing ?

It's not about stealing though is it

Some of the tesco staff around here have been wearing them for a while...

To be honest it'll soon become the norm for all shopworkers given the rapidly deteriorating economic and social position that the UK has put itself into!

It seems to be more systemic than that. Broken families, selfishness, loss of dignity, respect, patience etc - a "me" culture where we are so used to getting what we want, how we want, that any challenge to that can have violent repercussions. We've created a society that encourages a narcissistic outlook on life.

It all seemed a bit strange on the radio to hear the boss asking for it to be a specific offence.

It sounded like they were already victims of common assault… a specific offence. Part of the problem though is the lack of interest plod have in shop lifting etc.

Not narcisstic per se in the general population.
(that is of course a trait that is prevalent in politicians!)

The problem is a result of corporate greed, and the massive gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots'...

Corporate greed persuades the 'have nots' to crave what the 'haves' own, and when it becomes unachievable then the inevitable breakdown in society occurs!

Ellal been on the pop tonight. I don't have it so that my excuse for criminality.

I think you'll find it is 'that's my excuse for criminality'

So who is it that has been 'on the pop tonight'?

 

[Andydevon]

Oh dear typos excused does not change the fact that you excuse criminality for greed
