In the USA, in the past few years, we had a lot of news articles about "organized retail crime" and thefts from stores.

Most of that 'news' turned out to be made up: a combination of corporate PR to cover closing stores that were failing for other reasons, and police PR to justify lobbying for more funding.

@iju Yeah, they're locking down steaks in local supermarkets too.

Of course, there's hardly any staff in the store on checkouts and security.

@dajb Speaking of Europe, these products would not even legally be called chocolate in most of the continent.

@janet Well, indeed. There has never been a worse time for our 15 year-old daughter to start liking 80% cacao chocolate 馃捀
