A Sainsbury's worker was sacked for taking some bags for life without paying at the end of a night shift after working at the supermarket for 20 years.

Mr Doffou - a native French speaker who he has lived and worked in the UK for nearly two decades - worked as a night shift assistant at the store in East London from June 2003 until he was fired in October 2022 for gross misconduct, the tribunal was told. However, his claim of unfair dismissal was thrown out by a judge who said it was 'very hard to argue' with the decision to dismiss after the theft of the bags which are sold to customers for either 30p or 65p.
