Footage she put on Facebook exhibits how cabinets of costly haircare products aimed at European girl — together with the L’Oreal and Aussie manufacturers — have been untagged regardless of costing as much as £10.
But underneath the shelf labelled “black haircare” the products had small security strips — even those priced at simply £5.50.
Natasha, who was in a Boots department on Wembley High Road. North West London, might be heard on the video saying: “Boots, what are you making an attempt to say? If you suppose we’re going to be coming into your retailer stealing, don’t hassle to inventory it.
“Stick to what you know best. But don’t insult us, Boots.”
