John Lewis Partnership, which owns both brands, has written to the Police Federation to say officers can make the most of the offer - as long as they bring a reusable cup.

The group said its chair Dame Sharon White had also written to Home Secretary Suella Braverman calling for tougher action against repeat and violent offenders.

With a rise in incidents on the shop floor, it has also had to increase spending on the number of guards and staff it employs who are trained to stop and detain shoplifters.

It has also trialled what it called "love bombing" in some of its stores - being extra attentive to customers, including asking if help is needed at self-checkouts, to act as a potential deterrent.

It even suggested that some communities could eventually become "no-go" areas, with retail crime driven by "repeat and prolific offenders and, organised criminal gangs".

Its crime survey suggested that nearly 850 incidents were taking place every day, with staff facing physical assault and being threatened with weapons on some occasions.
