Security Guards – London Sales Cause MayhemMore department stores across the UK should consider stepping up their security guards – London especially is set to come under siege as the sales kick in. The January sales always cause a degree of shopping mayhem. And shops in general need to step up their security guards; London streets are packed and of course with more people brings the increased risk of shop lifting. But it isn't just shoplifting that security guards in London need to be vigilant of. The temptation of a bargain can cause a stampede in the High Street. And as many shops are closing down under the weight of the recession, 'everything must go' sales are causing near-hysteria in some instances. Security Guards, London Shops Get Ready The story from New York that reported on the death of a Wal-Mart employee illustrates why security guards are so crucial during the sales. The American shoppers were in such a frenzy to get hold of the Christmas bargains that three minutes after the doors of the Long Island store opened, the customers had trampled the employee to death. The news reports illustrates how crucial security guards are – and stores that have insufficient security guards, London in particular, need to ensure the lesson is learned. The horrific twist in the story of the trampled employee was customers stepped over his body to grab cut price goods. Security Guards Prepare for Sales Frenzy Reports from police in America said the Wal-Mart incident occurred as the shoppers turned into a 'mob'. Incidents in the UK show that we are just as vulnerable and should ensure we have sufficient security guards in London shops. The promise of bargains in the 'everything must go' sale as Woolworths closed down across the UK highlighted the necessity of security guards, London stores witnessed frenzied buying with one store in Camden stripped bare by bargain hunters. One branch in Birmingham saw queues stretching the length of the store. And as more retailers desperate for consumers during the downturn battle it out with massive discounts, security guards, London and beyond, should prepare themselves for sales frenzy.
