Greater Manchester supermarkets are bringing in increasing measures to deter shoplifters - but many shoppers are unhappy about it.
Sainsburys and Morrisons are among the retailers to introduce electronic gates which bar customers from leaving a store until they scan their receipts.
The move has been criticised by many customers, with threats by some shoppers to boycott the retailers. Sainsbury's said this was 'not a new measure', while Morrisons said the measures had recently been introduced to one store in south Manchester.
