There was an interview with an angry store manager, he's mad at the attackers, but I didn't hear the media ask him why they didn't improve security after the French attacks. Only now do they appear to want to start a review of their monitoring system.

Isn't it more than logical for a store manager to be upset?

At the human being level, this attack is mind boggling. What do you get out of this, other than making good food go to waste?

Edit: Also keep in mind that there's franchising in supermarkets as well. So the guy might literally be looking at losing a chunk of money as a result of something out of his control. Doesn't change the situation, but not having done something doesn't make them deserve this...

He was sitting in a car behind the wheel driving with 120 down the cliff and just closed his eyes instead of stopping the car, 'but not having done something doesn't make them deserve this'.

The store managers don't manage the IT security of the chain though.

No, and I get that, but working in the industry, he can't have been in the dark about the events in France. If he doesn't deal with the monitoring of the fridges himself, he should be equally upset that the chain has failed to act.
