Waitrose and John Lewis are offering free coffees and other hot drinks to on-duty police officers amid a rise in shoplifting.
The drinks are aimed at encouraging a police presence in order to make thieves “think twice” about stealing goods, said the head of security at the John Lewis Partnership, which owns the John Lewis and Waitrose brands.
Nicki Juniper said: “Retailers across the board are seeing a rise in crime. This isn’t driven by a need to put food on the table, but rather professional shoplifters stealing for greed over need.”
Staff have also reported an increase in aggression from shoppers since the pandemic, according to the retailer.
It is hoped that free coffee will increase chances of a visible policing presence near stores as “even just having a police car parked outside can make people think twice about shoplifting”, Juniper said.

Gaucho will today be offering a free lunch to celebrate the NHS’s 75th anniversary.
The premium steak restaurant in Newcastle has announced that they will be hosting a free lunch for NHS workers.
Gaucho Newcastle, which is located on Market Street in the city centre, will be honouring the hard-working NHS staff by offering a free lunch to them today, to celebrate the NHS’s 75th anniversary.
The Argentinian restaurant will also be lighting up their restaurant in blue, as part of the NHS anniversary celebrations.
Gaucho’s across the UK will be inviting NHS workers to dine in their restaurants for free on Wednesday, July 5, including in their Newcastle location.
The free lunch will be from a special set menu, which will feature ceviche starters, carbon-neutral steaks and decadent desserts, showcasing regeneratively farmed British beef and other ethically sourced ingredients.
This is not the first time that Gaucho have supported NHS workers, as during the pandemic they provided 1,000 meals per week to them, and hosted a special gala named Gala NHS Dinner of Appreciation as a way to say thank you for their hard work during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Gaucho and M Restaurants, CEO and Founder, Martin Williams said: “At Gaucho, we are delighted to celebrate NHS workers with this gesture. Restaurants, when at their best, are an integral part of the community and we are proud to support our amazing NHS heroes and hope other restaurants will follow suit to do the same.”
NHS workers can enjoy a free lunch courtesy of Gaucho today, from 12pm until 6.30pm. To redeem the offer, simply present your NHS ID badge upon arrival.
