Mainecat Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Spam heists in Hawaii prompt retailers to put the wildly popular mystery meat in locked cases https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/10/19/spam-heists-in-hawaii-prompt-retailers-to-put-the-wildly-popular-mystery-meat-in-locked-cases/?hpid=hp_hp-morning-mix_mm-spam%3Ahomepage%2Fstory These Spam snatchers are not hungry people desperate for Spam, said Tina Yamaki, president of the Retail Merchants of Hawaii. They are most likely part of a Spam black market that’s taking off in a state where the demand for Spam knows no bounds. “It’s a staple,” Yamaki told The Washington Post. The thefts have proliferated to the point that some businesses are putting Spam in plastic cases under lock and key, she said, along with the more conventional and more expensive shoplifting targets such as electronics, Gillette Power Fusion razor refills and, as it happens, canned corned beef, also popular in Hawaii. To buy a can of Spam, you have to ask a salesperson to retrieve it. Edited October 19, 2017 by Mainecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
