Some are completely clearing pockets and hiding the magazines in other areas of the store.
Please look out for this and restore copies to stands so you aren’t missing out on sales.
If you have any questions or you aren’t able to locate the issue on shelves please contact

It appears that the practice has gone viral if these tweets are anything to go by.
The hashtag, #TurnArdern, is currently trending in New Zealand on Twitter – with one of the top trending videos showing stacks of magazines featuring Ardern on the cover being picked up and hidden from sight.
“It’s been a tough day out in the field,” the video, posted on Saturday by a self-declared “Trump supporter”, is captioned. “I only hope our other operatives have been equally successful with operation #TurnArdern.”
