Crime & Safety

Is it just me or has shoplifting gotten way worse?

Went to get toothpaste yesterday. It was locked behind plexiglass. Had to find an employee to unlock it. Waited 10 minutes. For toothpaste.

Deodorant: locked. Razors: locked. Laundry detergent at some stores: locked. I've even seen SOCKS locked up.

I get why stores do it. But the shopping experience is miserable now. And the prices haven't gone down despite all the "loss prevention" measures. So who's actually benefiting here?
