Balham shoppers have been left outraged after Sainsbury's rolled out new security measures at the store.
These new features include barriers blocking customers from leaving the store until they scan their receipts.
This will mean those leaving the store empty-handed will have to ask security to let them out.
This left many outraged as some Sainsbury's shoppers claimed the security barriers made innocent shoppers seem suspicious.
A number of residents were outraged by the move with some taking to Twitter to express this anger.
One user said: "So, @sainsburys Balham.. Rows of empty shelves when you visit after work after 6pm, and now these pathetic barriers with which you treat all your customers as guilty until proven innocent. Will be taking business elsewhere (well, I already have, mostly)."
Another person chimed in, saying: "Same in my Sainsburys, been like that for a while now. Agree, it's treating us all like potential thieves."
One added that similar schemes had 'failed', saying: "I've been in a few different Sainsburys that have tried doing this ... it always fails before long!"
Another user seemed concerned that this was something that would affect all customers across the country, saying: "Wonder if this is something they intend to implement in all Sainsburys stores."
