Merseyside Police has responded with increased visibility in the area and said staff shouldn't have to tolerate the abuse they are receiving just for doing their jobs.
Wirral Community policing Inspector Alan McKeon said: “We have been experiencing antisocial behaviour issues in Liscard town centre over recent weeks, particularly in relation to off licences and fast food restaurants in the area.
“We are working with our partners to look into this issue and take action where necessary, as well as suggesting diversionary activities, and youth workers will be deployed to the area.
“I would also encourage parents to speak to their children and teenagers.
"Staff members at these premises shouldn’t have to tolerate abuse while going about their daily business.”
