In a supermarket, Duplo and Kinder Bueno are apparently often stolen. The Edeka branch then follows up with drastic consequences.

Berlin – Perfume, alcohol or even cigarettes: Some products in the supermarket or discounter cannot simply be taken off the shelf and placed in the shopping cart as usual. Particularly expensive products are often stored in a lockable display case or in the checkout area. Customers must therefore first ask the staff, who will then hand them the desired product.

Now, however, a customer at Edeka discovered a hint that even rather unusual foods can be kept under lock and key. Apparently, sweets seem to be particularly popular with thieves. On Instagram, the topic is causing speculation.

Edeka branch apparently locks Duplo, Kinder Bueno and Co. away due to theft

The Instagram channel "notesofberlin" recently shared an unusual notice from an Edeka store in Berlin-Wedding. The photo was taken by a follower and sent to the channel, it said. Notices in the supermarket are not unusual, but this content attracted special attention.

"Dear customers," the letter read. "Due to heavy theft, we are unfortunately forced to keep these goods under lock and key." Pictured below are two photos with various products from the Ferrero "Children" range, such as Duplo bars, chocolate bons, Bueno and children's country.

Sweets under lock and key due to theft at Edeka - What customers need to consider

So if you want to buy the products, you can't fish the product off the shelf on your own, as in other stores. According to the notice, customers have to "contact the cashier". If you want to buy cigarettes or expensive alcohol, you should already know the procedure. "We hope for your understanding," said the Edeka team.

On Instagram, the notice caused discussions – which went beyond the borders of the capital. "It's definitely about the collection points," one user surmised. Others, on the other hand, speculate that the branded products could be resold: "People are stealing what they can ... Anything that can be easily resold." Other supermarkets are apparently also familiar with a similar problem. "There is a branch in Hamburg that no longer sells Parmesan." It is not known whether the thefts may also be due to the recent increase in food prices.

In the supermarket, consumers regularly discover surprises: Most recently, a well-known Edeka sign triggered nationwide reactions. At Rewe, on the other hand, a confusing sign caused a stir. (kas)
