Tesco introduces confusing security devices to deter shoplifting
Tesco has introduced new security devices in some stores to combat rising shoplifting, which increased by 23% last year. The devices, designed to protect items like chocolate, have confused many customers. A viral video showed the devices, which slide open to access products. Shoppers expressed frustration, questioning how to use them and whether they would deter thieves effectively. Tesco confirmed the devices are part of a trial in select locations but did not disclose details about the trial's duration or specific stores.
