  Nope, my point was that I've never seen Walmart ones check thoroughly, only a few people at sometimes Costco do.
context: I was in a Walgreens in Albuquerque recently and every single thing in the store was locked up behind plexiglass. I had to get an employee to tour the store with me to get what I wanted.
  Edit:  here's a pic I took of one of the rows. They were all like this. >
  
  Honestly i would have just walked out >
  
  I recently went to Home Depot for jigsaw blades while in the middle of a project and I had to wait a long time to get someone to open the case, then they took the blades up to the cashier. By the time I made it through the long line, they’d lost the blades and it took them another 10 minutes to find them. If I hadn’t needed the blades that day, I definitely would have walked out. I’m ordering blades early online going forward. I hate it, but I can’t stand them pulling this shit while also being understaffed. >
  
  I just get home depot to deliver now, I guess its a bit pricier but the hassle of dealing with that place can be just more than whats worth it for a weekend day. >
  
  I'd just recommend a different hardware store if you could, Ace isn't bad and I think country wide, but Menard's was amazing for my bathroom renovation recently >
  
  I hate the Ace by my house because a bunch of Old Crazy MAGA owns it. >
  
  We'll, the guy who owns Home Depot is a right wing, long time Republican party donor. 
  That said, he claims to feel "betrayed" after Jan 6, and urged people to support Biden, but I don't think that will continue in 2024. >
  
  Home Depot is publicly traded and appears to be mostly owned by institutional funds, though that can get murky.
  You're referring to the cofounder of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus. And yeah...he's a nutter. >
  
  No, Ken Langone as well >
  
  I said fuck it and started buying my condoms online after every single place I went to had them locked behind glass and had 1 person working. 
  I assume I'm not alone with the mounds of products locked up in stores. It may deter theft but it also deters sales. >
  
  Shoplifting deterrents are also shopping deterrents. >
  
  Yep.  I refuse to ask for a product to be unlocked.  I'll go home and buy it on Amazon instead. >
  
  What?  You're not interested in having everything you've bought compared to the receipt, so they can verify, every. single. time. that you aren't a thief, even though they fucking watched their fellow emp ring up every fucking item?
  Talk about self-entitled shoppers.. sheesh. >
  
  I did 2 transactions at Walmart the other day:  4 items and 12 items.  Had 3 bags with 16 items in my cart.  Showed the greeter my receipt listing 4 items, he checked it, said have a nice day. >
  
  Tbf, if you worked at Walmart loss prevention, would you GAF about doing a thorough job?
