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?
