Aussie stores removing Taylor Swift merchandise from shelves for shock reason
Taylor Swift merch is being removed from store shelves around the country for one shocking reason.
Swift was recently in Australia performing her Eras Tour in Melbourne and Sydney last month before jetting off to Singapore.
The chain has found itself victim to thieves determined to walk out of the store with handfuls of Swift swag without paying.
The problem has become so bad for the chain since Swift brought her tour to Australia that it’s now leaving signs in stores telling customers that anything Swift-related will no longer be on shelves and instead is now being sold behind the counter.
One JB Hi-Fi store in Sydney’s Pitt St Mall has an empty space where Swift CDs and merchandise used to be, with multiple signs telling customers that the items are only available behind the counter.
“Taylor Swift CDs are kept behind the counter. Temporary. Please ask a member of staff for assistance,” reads one sign.
