Meet the Robin Hood-Style Activists 'Shoplifting' for Food Banks Simon Childs: Activists are "shoplifting" from supermarket shelves and dumping the proceeds straight into the stores' food bank bins in a "redistributive action" to protest the cost of living and the climate crisis. On Thursday, six people entered a Tesco Extra in the Maryhill district of Glasgow, Scotland, took food and essential items from the shelves and put them in the store's food bank donation bins. Glasgow branches of Asda, Sainsbury's and Tescos were hit by similar actions earlier in the week, while M&S and Waitrose were targeted in April. In a video posted on Twitter on Wednesday, an activist says: "The reason we're doing this is that supermarkets in this country have been raising their prices ahead of the rate of inflation, essentially stealing from ordinary people in order to line their packets with profits. "We're acting against this in order to deliver food and necessities to the people of the community that need it the most in the middle of the cost of living crisis."
