    Something as simple as nailclippers stunned me. $3 item, locked behind glass.

    “Welp, they don’t want my money I guess…” moving on.

    Went to Walmart on a whim and saw everything locked up in pharmacy aisles (even deodorant) and I decided to pass. I hate shopping there.

      Theft is a huge problem in some locations. Some people have no problem filling up a cart with whatever they need and walking out the door. Employees don’t get paid enough to get involved. Cops only show up afterwards. Even if they catch the culprit, there arent any repercussions.

        And yet theft rates are the same as they have pretty much always been.

        With the increase in prices for everything from food to housing, and the greed of large corps being completely ignored by governments, I honestly don’t gaf about shoplifting food or clothing. If I see it happening I walk away.

    Yep, I bought some caged jeans a couple years ago and was not digging the hassle of finding somebody with a key. Basically doubled the try on time.

    Sweatpants forever!

    At this point I just use pickup and delivery for almost everything. I have no patience for wandering stores anyway.
