Australian supermarket chain Coles trials security tags on selected meat items in 10 Victoria stores due to rising shoplifting rates.
Coles, an Australian supermarket chain, is trialing security tags on selected meat items in 10 stores in Victoria due to increasing shoplifting rates amid the cost of living crisis. The tags trigger alarms if stolen and are part of a "very small trial" to discourage shoplifting while reassessing new security measures. Limited outrage has been expressed by the community, likely due to the ongoing cost of living crisis and supermarket price hikes.
