Overview
- Staff reported a rise from about 5–6 to 16–20 monthly incidents of fresh-counter meat left in unrefrigerated aisles.
- The store estimates roughly €300 in monthly losses, or about €3,600 a year, from discarded items.
- Prominent signs at the service counter warn that anyone caught dumping fresh goods in shelves faces a house ban.
- Management says cameras and direct intervention are in use, and no ban has been issued so far as incidents have decreased since the signs went up.
- Online reaction is largely supportive, while the operator points to financial strain and embarrassment as drivers of the behavior and notes the food-safety waste from broken cold chains.
