  Waitrose is a worker-owned cooperative though.

    It’s part of the John Lewis Partnership which isn’t a cooperative. It’s a company where workers are given a “partner” status and allocated a share of profits. When you look into it, it’s still a big business with employees.

      Well that’s less neat.

      We have a place like that locally that’s pretty terrible to its employees.

  I did supermarket retail for a while. We were expected to check trollies as they came through the till for hidden items but we also weren’t allowed to stop the thief if they just walked out with it.

  The one time I caught a genuine theft (they’d lined the bottom of the trolley with meat packs and covered them with their shopping bags) I checked they weren’t a mystery shopper and then promptly forgot that I’d seen shit.
