In this case the security guards were only doing their job, why did this person need to make such a fuss.
/// A spokesman for Tesco said shoppers could take baskets to their cars, as long as they were brought back to the store. ///
Oh yes, and how many would? some can't even bother to wheel the shopping trolleys back where they are stored.
But it appears she managed to get a £10 voucher out of it along with press coverage, the only saving grace is that the security guards also happened to be black, else it could have been even more serious.

Oh and the "walking advert" concern is semi-bogus. After a number of uses and repeated scrunching, when empty, the creases turn white so the whole thing looks battered and tatty.
You also have the pleasure of taking your Sainsbury reusables into Tesco and vice versa (for example; dozens of other permutations, obviously). Just to remind them that there is no such thing as a faithful customer or a "walking advert".

What's the "simple solution" that 'us' in Wales and Scotland have managed to get right then mikey?
Pinch them and take them home?
*** A Tesco store in Denbighshire, northeast Wales, had 97 per cent of its baskets stolen in the first year of the charge being brought in after only 16 baskets were left out of 500. ***
*** And in Aberystwyth, a Morrisons store had half of its 300 baskets taken in the space of a month. ***
*** While an Asda store in Dundee had to security tag its baskets after hundreds started to go missing when the levy came into force in 2014. ***

It is quite amusing watching customers try to juggle their shopping out the building to save themselves 5p for a bag ;-)
Luckily for us it'd be quite difficult for a customer to steal a basket as we don't have a self service checkout and we work from let to right. Customers place their baskets on the left side of the till, we scan them, then place them on our right for them to pick back up again.
As for the story here, im still inclined to believe she was either going to steal the basket or to just dump it in the carpark after loading up her car.
