My local big-box stores have taken to putting half the store's inventory in locked glass cabinets. Started with liquor, then detergent, socks, electric sawblades, car batteries, regular batteries, flashlights, bike parts, medicine, Monster drinks...if it's something you'll need to survive the apocalypse, it's behind glass.
It's unshoppable; nobody is ever around to unlock them.
- xp84 3y agoYeah, I feel like policies like the locked racks were thought up before the great decrease in retail staffing levels. At current staffing levels, a lot of places are operating on what would have been considered a light skeleton crew, all the time. I bet there were more workers on the graveyard shift of a 24-hour Walmart 20 years ago, than there are at most stores during the day today (not counting pickers for delivery/pickup orders).
