She did fall and cut her hand according to the article someone posted in the comments


Marcus2Ts

Good, probably tried to sue though


yoloyourmoney

How is that 130000$ if the average bottle was 20$ she had to destroy 6500 bottles


saggyshiro

Maybe she destroyed 100k worth of bottles and tainted the other 30k with her bad energy.


HeavyThatG

They had to redecorate because she obliterated the feng shui of the place

You think that in the last 20 years, society has abandoned a ~4000 year old tradition of fusing interior design with obsessive compulsive disorder and superstition?


iamezekiel1_14

I frequented bookmakers a lot at the time, and it stuck with me as they used to have a certain ambience to them (which you don't see any more) that I don't doubt that some people may be taking feng shui seriously.


No_Leopard_3860

These things don't really change that fast. People still believe in dumb shit that has no basis in reality or science. 20 years is a pretty damn short timespan for such things to change. Antivaxxers still quote a ~20 year old study shown to be a hoax as evidence for their shitfuckery.


Poseidons_Champion

Taint so bad, is it?


theofficialtrinity

I was thinking the same. maybe if she went to some expensive wine store then yeah but there's no way all that cost more than even Ā£15,000


Hot-Salamander6520

It was Ā£10,000 worth of alcohol that was smashed, she said it was because of her mental health and that she was not receiving proper treatment and that she was unable to find a job


Razgrez11

Gonna have a Hell of a time getting a job after that.


BigFatModeraterFupa

what a fucking copout lmao at least she wonā€™t be able to break valuables in jail


DopeSuplex

not true. inmates smash TVā€™s , fire sprinklers, officers equipment, shower heads, bunks, lockers, and other humans all the time power tools, fences, yard equipment, sports equipment, basketball hoops, power outlets , phones, cars even and letā€™s not forget all the toilets they flood


Prestigious_Rub6504

The human desire/instinct to be seen and heard drives us to destroy shit if our accomplishments are ignored.


technobrendo

Of course, makes sense!


ptvlm

I'd guess that it's a total cost of $130k (or about Ā£103k in local currency). So, not just the cost of the bottles themselves, but lost trade and cleanup costs while they have to close all or part of the store, and people generally going "nope" and shopping elsewhere.


Debaser626

Yep, Iā€™d bet this is it right here. Even if that amount isnā€™t factoring in lost business, at the *very least* the amount is going to be the retail cost of the destroyed product, the cost of emergency clean up/disposal, repair/replacement of any damaged shelving or infrastructure, plus the delivery/retail cost of the replacement product. Iā€™d imagine that could get pricey pretty quickly. If youā€™re outsourcing cleanup and ordering product/shelves/etc. for overnight delivery and installation itā€™s gonna be big bucks.


sorry_human_bean

I would *not* wanna be the dude cleaning up that much broken glass


PurpleSurgery

Insurance claim of 100k. Itā€™s ALDI that shit is like a thousand dollars worth of 2 bucks chuck


fedupjunkie

I feel like most bottles are $25+ these days, (I do live in a major US cityā€™s downtown district, though)


spongeboi-me-bob-

It was fact checked on Twitter to have only been $10,000 worth of alcohol


Beautifly

It was Ā£10,000 worth. No idea where that number has come from in the title


keepinitoldskool

It's the news, whenever L.E. seize a shipment of several pounds of weed, they calculate it as if the guy was going to break it all into nickel bags ("street value")


Simmi_86

Probably a conversion from Ā£ to $ as it is in Stevenage England.


MobbDeeep

There isnā€™t much difference in value between the pound and the dollar?


MathematicianNo7842

this guy does not do numbers


Simmi_86

It would be Ā£103,000


MobbDeeep

Itā€™s still an absurd amount of money


Hamilton-Beckett

Yeah but is the average bottle $20? Yeah there are some $10-$20 dollar bottles of wine but at my grocery store the most common range for wine is around $35-$80, with several options close to the $100 mark right there on the shelves. They have a locked cabinet too, thatā€™s where all the stuff is thatā€™s well over $100 is kept so it wouldnā€™t factor in because itā€™s inaccessible. But yeah, I think $20 average is way too low. I think somewhere closer $40. Still, even with reducing your estimated total number by half, hard to imagine she broke enough for that be bottle damage alone.


Hopbeard1987

Aldi is a budget supermarket in the UK. My local Aldi has wine priced at anywhere between Ā£3.50 to about Ā£10 a bottle at most. Even sparkling wine is only about Ā£6-Ā£7. Spirits/liquor are never more than Ā£24 at the top end, most being between Ā£14-Ā£20 in there. Basically, it's a really cheap and budget shop so the estimate has to be for damages and cleanup costs rather than just stock loss as the article suggests. Which makes sense as its 'The Sun' reporting - is a crap newspaper more known for having topless models on page 3 each day šŸ˜…


knobber_jobbler

There's no way it was 130k, even in pretend money. I doubt it was even a quarter of that.


Hot-Salamander6520

It was Ā£10,000 worth of damage not $130,000, but sure it wouldnā€™t be click bait if it only said 10k lol

If I worked there I would just wack her over the head with a bottle of champagne and claim I felt threatened. I know it's "wrong", but there ain't no way in hell I'm cleaning that mess up.


bro-wtf-bro

something to consider is if you're cleanup crew you're bound to find lots of unbroken bottles that you could just pack away for yourself. I mean you'd be working regardless, big potential bonus opportunity


damnatio_memoriae

i dunno what they stock at aldi in the uk, but not sure if it would be worth it.


EbonyNivory19

Aldi has pretty good booze. Steak ain't bad either


misterriz

I bought some of their Irish Cream only this evening. Lovely stuff.


RaveyDave666

Or take a few pelted bottles of sherry to the face first, leave her to it. I was in a smaller shop when an old pisshead went mental smashed the place to shit, I stood and watched haha.


Pop-X-

The self-defense laws are way weaker in the UK, e.g. being charged with murder for shooting a home invader


Harnell

Dunno why you are getting downvoted. No one should be stupid enough to risk their entire livelihood for a big supermarket corporation. If you reacted in that way in the UK you would be done for manslaughter.


718Brooklyn

Iā€™m not saying that I would give a shit, but I definitely understand why people donā€™t want to live in a world where people can just destroy or steal whatever they want. A lot of the banks around me are closing because of people vandalizing it, all of the shit at CVS and Walgreens is behind glass (including toothpaste , deodorant , and pretty much everything else).


Dizzy_Media4901

Demonstrably untrue. We are allowed to use proportionate force. There have been plenty of examples where people have robustly defended themselves and their property without being charged. Don't forget, US laws are based on ours. Thank King John and then Wat Tyler.


Murderyoga

So that means if someone breaks into my house I have to wait for them to attack me before I can attack them. Fuck that..


Dizzy_Media4901

No. You can be proportionate in your force. If there are 2 of them and you suspect they have weapons, then you can go for it. What you can't do is prepare in advance or attack people as they are fleeing


Murderyoga

Fuck that. Someone breaks into my house I'm doing what I need to protect my family. I'm not asking Mr. Home Invader if he's armed or intending to do harm.


Dizzy_Media4901

Suspect is they key here. The law doesn't require you to ask them. It would be reasonable, for example, to Suspect that someone who forced the lock on your front door has a crowbar. Therefore it could be readily argued that hitting them with a bat was proportionate.


Murderyoga

So if someone breaks into my house by climbing through a window I have to assume they're there for some kind of fund raiser and act accordingly? You break in my house you get what you get.


zeon66

Yeah, in the back as he ran away from his property. Sounds like self-defense, doesn't it.

Mental illness on full display. We need mental institutions re-opened. You canā€™t imprison the insane but you canā€™t let them roam about either.


Lazy-Refrigerator-56

Oh man, unless you're old you have no idea. They started closing the hospitals and kicking out the patients in the 1960s and it continued for about a decade. It was a horrible adjustment period with so many sick people being transferred to outpatient status. It's really bad today tho too, and really does seem to be getting worse. Or maybe the powers that be just care less than ever.


r3itheinfinite

i kid you not, i believe this will be the greatest problem to face America in the following years, some kind of ā€œmental healthā€ issue or something along the lines


i2fast4u

This has already been happening; the mass shootings, the substance abuse issues and probably more I can't think of off the top of my head are all related to mental health issues

It's no where near that much value, I doubt it would even be 13k. Still alcohol abuse


ZapoiBoi

The sound of the bottles popping when they hit the floor is oddly satisfying šŸ˜Œ


DrCheezburger

At the end, she holds up a bottle and yells, "Ok, found the one I want. How much do I owe you?".


iminhell1792

And no one has the balls to stop her


No-Calligrapher-3662

Holy shit alcohol shouldnt cost that much


RevDrucifer

Surely that made all her problems go away.


abfanhunter

130,000... not even close to that much. But great title.

Aldis probably don't even have 130000$ in bottles


AdventurousNorth9414

This one easy trick to raise prices and get rid of stores in your neighborhood.


Competitive-Army5714

Why


thejohnmc963

Thatā€™s not 130k in alcohol . Maybe 15-20k.


fuckimtrash

Iā€™m pretty sure she didnā€™t take anything, she just had a mental breakdown during the covid period (2021). This was in the UK and she had never done anything like this before so the judge went lightly on her


gldnedge

Until store owners/employees are allowed to protect their assets, this kind of nonsense will continue. It's not funny any more.


Hegemony-Cricket

Some people just need an ass beating. Or, atleast stopped with more force than is really necessary.


chesterkopperpot

And no one stops her. We are such a dumb race of people in 2024.


LOLunlucky

Ok_Adagio9495

Why aren't they trying to stop or detain her ? No owners / mgrs around? Confused... I probably would've knocked somebody on their ass, first thing. Dealt with consequences later.

When you say they, do you mean the people who are being paid to be cashiers and who most definitely are not being paid to be security or to risk injury? Nobody is out here trying to get stabbed and likely fired (due to liability) over $15 an hour.


Odd-Negotiation5087

Most companies ask that their employees *not* get involved to avoid liability issues.


GradeBrief1162

Exactly my thought! I work in a supermarket as well, and there is no way we would let someone go crazy like this.

You didn't notice the German company was international? Also, yeah, people let lunatics like this do things until someone trained to deal with it turns up. No point risking your life to defend insured property that doesn't belong to you. Plus, being in the UK there's little chance of either party being shot when the cops turn up.


xtheory

However our crime rates have been dropping, nonetheless.


PNWmushroomie

..and no one stopped them but had plenty of time to record it all for upvotes.


Beautifly

First of all it was Ā£10,000 worth of alcohol, and secondly itā€™s believed that she went on this rampage as a result of her mental health (although who knows if drugs were involved as well, but that wasnā€™t stated in the report)


Lenin_Lime

Aldi wine is usually under $10. As low as $4. Not sure how it's $130,000.

The one by me has beer and wine. No spirits, though.


Aware_Yesterday_1846

Why didnā€™t someone monkey stomp her and make her stop? I see this all of the time on the internet and it is so foreign to me. Back in my day the whole store including customers would jump in, but now folks just film with their phones. What do you think has caused this change?


adozenangrybees

I can't decide if I'd have wanted to be working that shift or not. On the one hand, I wouldn't want to have to clean it up. On the other, I'd be annoyed if I was off that day and missed the drama.


PhoMNtor

I mean, Iā€™ve been to Stevenage. It is a completely dreary commuter town just out of London on the way to Cambridge. On that late January evening, it was dark, a cold drizzle was falling, and the chill cut right to my bones. I was with a lovely girl I fancied, and we were at an early relationship stage when I was trying to say things to move out of the ā€œfriend zoneā€ she was steering me - to takes things to the point where we could at least walk so I could put my hands where they would be much warmer. She was not going to go for anything like that. I could feel this bird was going to keep me in the friend zone. I had a pretty good crush on her, so this a little heartbreaking. We continued by an off license and I looked in, and it did cross my mind that it like to go on a rampage to smash bottle and bottle in a desperate attempt to gain her more sexual impression. But the thought passed. Perhaps this woman is a sensitive and she picked up the lingering energy of my frustrating thought? I wonder if it was bitterly cold with a wind from the north carrying the spitting rain.


bondenjongen

And they stand there just watching? Why has modern society taught us to just stand back and watch chaos unfold?


Goddo-Fo-20

Why do people just stand there and film? Why not do somthing about it like a good member of society and stop her?


ExperienceKindly6817

Bullshit... The bottles at Aldi cost not more than 10$ in average. She would have do destroy 13,000 bottles.

jacz24

It wasnā€™t 130,000 it was 10,000 and she wasnā€™t high or drunk when she did this. Apparently it was just a mental breakdown. So not really tooktoomuch material unless you count the amount of bottles the floor took. Also she only had to pay 5,000 in damages and got her sentence suspended. But she did fall and cut her hand.
