    Well yeah… if you’ve got everything locked up you need to find one of the few staff left who is under far too much pressure to deal with customers.

      It’s the fucking worst. Say I need a toothbrush, new mascara, and cough syrup. That’s gonna be at least 10 minutes waiting for the one overworked staff member to unlock the case at each of them.

        A toothbrush? In the U.K. they’re like 2 quid …we’re actually gonna end up with people using Amazon for their shop for everything. It won’t end up with your weekly shopping trip being from the same place either.

            Preventing people from stealing toothbrushes is just evil. Nobody chooses to be in a situation where they even think about stealing a freaking toothbrush.

            To be fair ….i live in a small town. I don’t tend to go other places and buy tooth brushes, but at the same time only expensive items are locked up.

              Deodorant is the thing here

              Also for some reason laundry detergent? Like, just get purex and be done with it, like $10 for a year supply.

                Name brand laundry detergent has a decent resale price on the street. Tide was the first thing I noticed getting locked up at Family Dollar back in the 10s.

                I found a wholesaler that sells a 5gal bucket of laundry detergent for $45, lasts probably 6 months.
