The Only 'Human Error' Here Is In Cowering Before The Karens, Tesco...

Tesco has apologised to shoppers after...

Out of date food? Dirty store? Rude staff?

...'racist' security tags were placed on cosmetics for black skin but not lighter skin tones in one of its stores.

*sighs* Buckle up, we're going in.... 

Mother-of-three Natalie Westgate complained to the chain after she spotted the security measures on the makeup, calling it 'racist' and 'absolutely disgusting'.
'I understand you have to security box items but do you think it is ok to only have the dark range security boxed and not the entire range,' she said to Tesco.
'Please ask your race and ethnicity network and Black Voices Advisory Group what they think to security only boxing the dark range then get back to me.'

The utter arrogance in that demand is breathtaking. But sadly only to be expected of someone who doesn't even pause to consider the absurdity of having a 'race and ethnicity network' in the first place...

The supermarket responded first on Twitter and said 'stores may sometimes use security tags on items which have recently been subject to theft and the decision to do so changes from store to store'.

Brave of the corporate Twitter-wrangler to use facts and logic to bat away the annoying Karen. But futile, because there's never just one. They hunt in packs. And the avalanche of manufactured outrage reached the eyes of a manager trained to be obsequious in the face of anything 'racist':

A spokesperson for Tesco apologised and said that it was an example of human error, and they should not have been tagged.
'It’s really important to us that Tesco is a place where everyone feels welcome, and the tags have now been removed,' they told The Sun.

So there you have it, thieves and shoplifters; Tesco wants you to 'feel welcome'. You know where to go now, don't you?

  1. And we know where this is heading.

    The companies not just wont, but cant absorb the costs, and since the very specific products (and patently obvious guilty demographic) cannot (by definition, apparently) be 'singled out', we'll get 'all' products tagged and locked up.

    Collectivism in all things (and most especially blaming anyone 'but' the guilty for crimes) is what they always do.

    I'm also expecting a rise in claimed 'food deserts' as shops (sensibly) refuse to serve areas with predominately 'certain' demographics in large numbers. Cue the guaranteed calls of racism yet again.

    It's almost as if it's a scam ... you think?
