Staff at a Co-op in New Eltham, Greenwich report feeling unsafe due to daily shoplifting incidents, with aggressive behavior from some individuals posing serious risks to employees.
With nearly 16,700 members, the Park Slope Food Co-op operates on a unique model where each member works shifts to receive discounted groceries, fostering community engagement.
Co-op chief executive Shirine Khoury-Haq reaffirmed her commitment to protect trans people to the end, following the rise in anti-transgender rhetoric in the UK.
In a statement the store said, "we recently experienced attempts to gain unauthorised access to some of our systems. Our seasoned IT security team immediately took proactive steps to keep systems safe and as a result we have restricted internet access at our sites today."
