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.”

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

The bottles of plonk cost as little as £8.15.
