  Just the 'nice parts', then? I'm down in South Brooklyn and the Walgreens has most of the pricier beauty products (and much more) locked up.

    GP was talking about “everything” being locked up, down to “the candy”. Does the Walgreens you’re talking about lock up everything, including the candy? If so, what’s it like at that store. Does every patron get a personal chaperone or is the store filled with patrons waiting for an associate who does the rounds to show up?

      Most if not all (the candy doesn't get stolen) the shelves have plexiglass, and there's buzzers placed every so often on the shelves. When you want someone, you press the buzzer and wait (usually pretty long) as they find you and open up the case. Repeat for multiple shelves. Also take into account that they downsized staff in all of these places, so sometimes it's literally the cashier that has to run up to the shelves. It's awful and the main reason I just stopped going and Amazon Prime everything now.
