Supermarket staff in the UK have body cameras to protect themselves. Customers punch or pull knives on staff. Checkout workers are stressed, and worried about their safety. The number of attacks in one store has gone up by 30 per cent in a year. More than 200 of workers in that store are attacked each month.
There is a big rise in anti-social behaviour in Britain. A new survey shows that 72 per cent of voters think the UK is broken. A supermarket CEO wants new laws for people who attack staff. He said crime is bad for society. He said attacks on his staff were "unacceptable" and "heart-breaking".
Back to the supermarket workers lesson.
