The motion

That the Parliament welcomes ShopKind Week, which commences on 30 June 2025; notes that this initiative is coordinated by the Association of Convenience Stores and supported by the Scottish Retail Consortium and trade union Usdaw; understands that this initiative supports the promotion of kind, courteous, and respectful behaviour in shops, whilst seeking to raise awareness of what it considers is the growing problem of customer abuse and violence towards shop workers; believes that the mistreatment of those working in stores is wholly unacceptable and should not be tolerated, and commends the positive ShopKind initiative with its aim that everyone is able to enjoy shopping safely and its help to support the vibrancy of retail destinations across Scotland.
