The Retail Trust has launched a new consumer-facing campaign, "Let's Respect Retail", urging shoppers to show respect for retail staff amid a surge in abuse levels on the shop floor.
According to new research by the charity, over three-quarters of shop staff experienced intimidating behaviour in the last year, and a quarter were physically assaulted.
The campaign aims to address the rising levels of abuse against retail staff.
The Retail Trust's efforts come as a response to the alarming rates of abuse faced by retail workers, highlighting the need for a more respectful shopping environment.
