Ireland imports €3 billion plus from Israel - this is simply not good enough, writing to a supermarket or company is a waste of time, what is needed is in-company protest or at their point of sale, noise is not condusive to harmonious retail.

• complain to the checkout people
• complain to any single person working for the entity
• load as much as possible into a trolley, leave it in a corner - after you noticed you did not bring your wallet / purse / credit card
