Retail workers have become the target of wild shoppers with death threats, violent attacks and even angry customers refusing to follow Covid rules.

Retail employees said they feel more ‘like a bouncer’ than shop assistants because of the increasing number of aggressive customers.
A female employee of a nearby Victoria’s Secret store, who asked a masked shopkeeper to check-in, was thrown at her face with a pile of clothes and then spit on her.
In another shocking incident, a male staff member tasked with implementing QR check-in fainted.
Horrifying footage shows a shopkeeper attacking the employee at the top of an escalator, leading him to the bottom of the stairs with his motionless body.
On the same day, two other staff members were also attacked.
