Senior management at Makro are remaining tight lipped about the alleged looting of their Reading branch two weeks ago having claimed that it never happened although they did admit that the Reading store was unusually busy between 11.37 p.m. and 1.49 a.m. one night and that one of the tills was found to be slightly under by £15,712.14 when they cashed up the following day.
In answer to allegations of the looting, Makro management confirmed that they use a stock control system developed by the British Army and as such they were unable to confirm that any stock was actually lost, rather they didn’t know where it was.
Thames Valley Police likewise replied to reporters’ questions that they didn’t realise that there was a Makro in Reading which caused some consternation in the ranks at the realisation that they’d been missing out on cheap Minky Advantage ironing board covers (product code 323768) now selling at £19.99 a pop.
Local minority group leaders have made a joint statement that if there is a Makro in Reading and if it was looted and if the Company and Police did decide to pretend it didn’t happen then that would hypothetically be a good thing as it would have prevented copy cat looting elsewhere in the town which there might have been although no-one has come forward admitting to owning a shop, a hoody or a Blackberry mobile phone in the town.
Makro management also confirmed that although there definitely was no incident on Tuesday 9th August, should anybody come across 786 Minky Advantage ironing board covers they may have been mislaid by their store at some time however they were not suggesting for one minute that they have been lost or stolen by anyone, especially not anybody living around South Reading.
