You guys know this article is about Walgreens, right?

It's about sales losses due to keeping items behind locks at Walgreens. The person you replied to gave an anecdote of the identical problem at another retailer, in order to emphasize that this is a clear problem for both retailers and customers. It hardly seems irrelevant to the conversation?

You know how in discussions people mention related things? This is one of those times, Sheldon.
