Sainsbury's customers have raised concerns over exit barriers introduces in a number of shops which they say 'make everyone's life harder'. The grocer introduced receipt barriers in multiple stores late last year as a security measure, requiring shoppers to scan a receipt before leaving.
The move was criticised by many at the time, with some shoppers opting to boycott the supermarket. The security measure has since been introduced at several other stores since, prompting a new wave of backlash.
Last year, it was reported that Sainsbury's had implemented the barriers at self-service checkouts in selected stores. The Manchester Evening News reports barriers have recently been introduced at stores in Fallowfield and Salford in Manchester. The move has annoyed a number of people.
