Still protest: Products upside down are now also visible in German supermarkets.

I'm considering doing this, but what do people do if they are confronted by the people who work at the supermarket?
Could it be seen as a form of vandalism?

IANAL, but Iโ€™m pretty sure itโ€™s only vandalism if you actually break stuff. So as long as youโ€™re not breaking their merchandise trying to balance Californian wine bottles upside down, it should be fine.

You can, of course, be asked to stop and get thrown out if you donโ€˜t comply. Itโ€™s their store, their rules, after all. But I donโ€˜t think most of the staff would care enough to even talk to you. Iโ€™d recommend just being subtle and not spending hours going from shelf to shelf, flipping stuff over.

Getting German staff to talk to you? It's hard enough getting the attention of waiters.

It's easy enough once you've tracked one down. Just don't track someone down to inform them that you've turned articles upside down and you should be good.
