      “when you lock things up you don’t sell as many of them” I bet they never covered that in your business degree sir. It’s ok sir it’s ok. No. No one thinks your the intellectual equivalent to a shart. You’re very smart I promise.

        I will never understand rich people, like 50 years of coddling them rotten has been the entire human race’s top priority and all that comes out of this is the rich become more and more distrustful of everyone when they have no reason to have those trust issues.

        Oh, those millennials who would rather go buy OTC medicine than spend their entire bank account at the doctor? The same millennials who would rather wait in line for self-checkout than having to go to a clerk because they don’t want someone looking at their Preparation H and Compound W? These corporations expected all these socially awkward OTC fans to ask for assistance to open the security shelf? Not to mention that Walgreens is so understaffed, they’d have to wait in the line at the front to ask the only employee to unlock the shelf for them. Did these corporations think about this for a single second?

      You don’t sell as many of them to in-store shoppers; if you have in-store staff to fill orders, it basically has no effect.

      And if you’re aiming to push customers more towards online ordering and pickup, this fits right in to that objective.
