Just recently, my wife wanted an eyebrow pencil, so we popped into a drugstore. All the makeup stuff was behind locked cabinets. We just turned around and went to a different store.
It seems like a particularly bad idea for anything that people might want to look at different versions of. If I wanted AA batteries that were locked, I might be okay saying, "Hey, can you grab me the batteries?" But for something that I want to look through the options, I'm not going to do that with the employee standing there tapping their foot.
Reminds me of getting the guy to unlock the video game and he hands me the game thinking we are gonna go ring it up, and I am just standing reading the back of the case, only to put it back and ask for another one.
Just ends up being me and Walmart bro shopping for a game together
That's funny, and good on you for not being intimidated into being rushed or leaving. If they want to lock the stuff up, they should deal with the impact.
I go bonkers trying to pick what version of a tool I want at home Depot, you usually can't even pick them up anymore, they're hard bolted to the display.
Yeah, some things I don't buy online because I want to hold it in my hand before I decide. Makes it tough when they're locked up or bolted down.
It's a tremendous pain the ass buying vegetarian vitamins because I need to see the ingredients... On the back of the box, behind a locked door.
Sometimes the keywarden just waits there while I read through a bunch of them.
