Glad I no longer live in a shitty, thieving feral city. None of the stores near me lock anything up, including Walmart, Target & drugstores, but then we don't have ferals either!

It definitely pushes shoppers away. But what is the alternative to stay profitable. They need to keep someone in each aisle where items are locked up. Takes about 10 minutes at Walmart for someone to show up. I've been there and done that.
