    Yep. Eventually EVERYTHING is in a locked case, and if you want something, somebody has to get it for you.

    Or they move to the old Service Merchandise model. You fill out the order, (on paper or at a kiosk) and after paying, somebody in the back packages it up and out it comes on a conveyor.

    Or like the controlled OTC allergy meds, or high dollar Ring/Nest stuff at lowes, it will be shelf after shelf of product cards and pictures of the products. You wander the aisles collecting the cards of what you want, and they scan the barcodes then pick the products after payment.

    And the same crackheads doing the stealing will be the ones complaining about retail deserts because the companies just close up shop.
    I called it. Walgreens just unveiled "Service Merchandise 2.0" in Chicago as a pilot store.

    They cant steal it if they cant touch it.

    Oh, and they said "This isnt about theft" I call bull:poop: You wouldnt have changed to this model if the youts werent robbing you blind. At least admit to what you are doing. Others have done it in the hood for decades. (though typically behind chain link)

    I was in one in Marion several decades ago. You'd walk into the little convenience store and you were basically in a cage. You would point out what you wanted to the clerk and he would walk around the outside of your "cage" and get it off the shelf for you.

    I went to Home depot last week to replace an impact wrench. Of course it was locked up, but usually you just get someone to unlock it and they give it to you and you go about your business until you check out. Dude said nope. He has to walk it to the checkout. I was a bit annoyed with that. The lady at the checkout said someone had just walked out with one of those so they started that policy.

    ****ing thieving losers.

    For awhile, the Walmart I go to was even locking up shaving cream.
