Mixed feelings on this one with Waitrose in particular as a target. Whilst not exactly a workers cooperative, it is employee owned: staff have non-transferable shares. Thefts will hit employees directly as a result.

Clearly this is not going to be any kind of significant dent in the overall profits of the company - it is very much about the publicity - but, even so, couldn’t they have chosen one with a more standard corporate model?

So they’re just a criminal gang taking advantage of disenfranchised people and dressing it up as Robin Hood?

You’d think all this effort would be better spent elsewhere doing something more productive.
