Shopper smashes Woolworths self-serve gates with hammer in act of rebellion

Footage of someone smashing a Woolworths self-serve gate with a hammer has gone viral online, with an activist group claiming the act was retaliation for increasing food prices.

The video, posted by a group called the Whistleblowers, Activists and Communities Alliance (WACA), shows a person walking up to a self-serve gate inside a store in Moorabbin, Victoria on Tuesday, before pulling a hammer out of their pocket and hitting the gate several times.

The person then throws what appears to be several Woolworths price tickets onto the ground, before fleeing.

WACA also posted a picture of several posters which appear to have been left behind with the words “smash the gates”.

The new self-serve gates are the latest piece of security tech to be added to the supermarket’s arsenal in a bid to stop rising shoplifting activity.

The grants announced Monday will contribute to building bridges or underpasses at the sites of more than three dozen crossings that delay traffic and sometimes keep first responders from where help is desperately needed. In some places, trains routinely stretching more than 2 miles (3.2 km) long can block crossings for hours, cutting off access to parts of towns and forcing pedestrians to attempt the dangerous act of climbing through trains that could start moving without warning. “We see countless stories of people unable to get to work on time, goods being blocked from gettin...
