It has been put in place in the run up to Christmas.

There is a sign above the button that reads: “Can we help?

“Press button, an associate will be with you shortly.”

One shopper told Need To Know: “TK Maxx has locked up their perfumes for Christmas to prevent theft in the store.

“There is a bell system you need to press to alert the staff if you want to buy them.

“It seems like madness.”

Last month, a Co-op shop put bottles of wine in a padlocked cabinet.

Customers have to ring a bell to get staff to unlock it.

The bottles of plonk cost as little as £8.15.

It was spotted at the Co-op in Fencepiece Road, Ilford, east London.

In October last year, Morrisons locked up champagne – costing as little as £31 – were locked up.

A sign on the cabinets said: “Buzz for booze!” in Fleet, Hants.
