Yup. My local Safeway has 2 security guards on duty at all times and one by one the aisles are starting to get locked up.

We started shopping elsewhere.

It's not just a convenience thing. Although it's really shitty to wait for a person to unlock it and then feel pressured while they stand there as I'm reading the labels and comparing items. It also just feels icky. Like I'm being punished for something. Probably for not being rich.

What do you suggest the stores do to curb theft? I'm being serious too? Just ignore it?

You’re gonna roll eyes on the answer or already know what needs to be done. We need to change the system so people are less inclined to shoplift.
