Milk It!
All sorts of devices have been invented to deter thieves at retail outlets. During the early days, retailers chained handbags to their display counters. But now magnetic strips are commonly used. Whereas for clothes, we see the ink canister thing that directly pierces the material (Metrojaya uses it on underwear and I really won't buy from them because of that!). All these measures are normally seen in the department store, but recently I saw that it has been adopted at the groceries section as well! Don't be alarmed, they're not tagging fresh produce, but it's packets of milk powder! At the corner of each packet, they affix an anti-theft black clip on it. I wasn't aware that milk powder is high on the list of shoplifters. And so, off I went with the packet of milk powder, swinging it along by its clip. You know what? Before I reached the cashier, the anti-theft clip fell off. Well, so much for security. :P.
