If you want to see how society is changing, visit your local Tesco.
I am not referring to the hordes of fat, ugly, tattooed, badly dressed useless eaters in there. As I have already written about myself far too much in this publication. And, I do not have a tattoo, as my pain threshold is far too low. Reassuringly, the masses of foreigners in these shops are not quite as fat or ugly as the locals, so the Great Replacement does have its benefits.
It’s the alcohol on sale:
One Tesco we went in, had all the alcohol secured in some sort of chain mail security bag. Google images call them: ‘bottle security nets’ So I was a mile out with my description! There were no exceptions, all drinks other than wines and beers had them fitted.
This week: another shop, another Tesco, oddly, this time alcohol came without the bottle armour, but of course it still has the security tag. The ‘Scan as you shop’ methodology has changed: You must pay before they remove the security tag. Speaking to the assistant, there have been examples of persons not scanning the alcohol, then getting the staff to remove the security tag, then leaving without having paid for it. Ingenious, I wish I’d thought of that.
The interesting thing I noticed in both shops: boxes of vodka and gin in front of the self-service check outs. Shock/horror: It’s almost like people becoming alcoholic or dying from some drink related illness suits TPTB!
Mind you, they have to go some way to get up to Latvian standards: where all their DIY shops sell alcohol. All on a dedicated stand, just next to the check-outs, no wonder DIY related accidents are one of the major reasons for hospital E&A (sic: Latvian wife) visits!
