Supermarket now tagging ice cream to track stolen ice cream resold locally

[WhatInThe]

A supermarket in NY is tagging Hagen Daz ice cream to track the stolen ice cream being sold to local bodegas sometimes blocks away. This allows security to track/trace the stolen merchandise.

Supermarket boss John Catsimatidis puts anti-theft coding on Häagen-Dazs

The CEO wants to actually catch shoplifters. Unlike other stores that have a lazfare attitude toward shoplifting he has no problem with employees trying to stop them. Said one garbage bag can hold 30 containers.

Who woulda thunk that this would be such a hot commodity...

@Georgiagranny and @timoc might be behind the heist. Just a rumor but they do have all the signs, travel with spoons and wetwipes......

I might be a suspect too. Haagen Daz is my favorite food ever! Vanilla and rum raisin. If I could eat it at every meal and not gain weight or elevate my cholesterol levels, I would.

Ice cream is truly one of the greatest desserts ever invented. Given the price of Hagen Daz and other so called gourmet ice creams, I can understand their concern.

Thanks for the information that one garbage bag can hold 30 containers. The next time I visit the frozen food section I will be better prepared. “Stop? Who me? I’m just taking out the garbage.”

I'm not a huge ice-cream lover, but I do enjoy Haagen Dazs , and is the only ice -cream I buy... it's not cheap so I understand how Robbers have their grubby mitts set on it...

Sounds like we're all lovers of ice-cream. I rarely buy it, especially the likes of Haagen-Daz. I mean, no matter the size of the pot, I'm going to eat the vast majority in one sitting. It's a "once you start you can't stop" type foods.

For me it's all about plain old Vanilla. Not fussed with any flavors other than that.
