Controversial opinion: society is better when we allow desperate people to procure basic things like underwear without having to pay for them. We shouldn't encourage such procurement, but we shouldn't be hindering it either.
caveat: mostly
Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting food/clothes/necessities, no you fucking didn't.
Also just break this shit and make it look like an accident, I mean I have almost broken something similar on accident so it's possible.
Who do you think puts merchandise on the shelves in the first place?
Also, these locked cases may be stupid, but let's not pretend that 30 other customers didn't touch your undies back before they started using them either.
Not to mention they’re in a plastic bag, so they’re not “fondling” them. That’s a childish take there. “Omg they drank out of the same cup…. That’s an indirect kiss!”
Not nearly as bad as "You indirectly kissed your Dad because you both sucked your moms nipples."
Eww, you don't wash new underware after buying it?
There may be times in your life you immediately need fresh underwear. Flight cancellation, food poisoning.
I think they may just not like the idea of a somewhat intimate garment requiring assistance.
Ah, now I see. It didn't occur to me at all that shops would be afraid that people steal men's underware or that having a cashier handle it (when properly packaged) would be an (emotional?) issue for the buyer. I guess those issues are somehow related?
I think it's more the case that this is an unnecessary barrier to the process.
I don't think the issue is that someone else has touched the pack of undies, it's that you need to go through the palaver of having someone retrieve your undies for you.
Additionally, and I know it might be a radical departure from what the internet suggests, but not everyone wants to share their underwear choices with other folks.
And I know you might think "well the cashier would see it anyway", but surely you see the difference between someone mechanically ringing up undies in a pile of shopping, and needing to have an actual conversation about what type of underwear you intend to buy with someone?
That's the issue.
I can only assume this is Walmart. Your problem is you're shopping at Walmart.
There’s a Target logo on a tag on the far left-middle.
I've seen 2/3 targets do this and 0/3 walmarts do this.
Damn what kind of fancy ass Walmart do you have that has carpet?
We have deodorant in these because the local kids like to huff it. Are you people huffing clean jocks?
wut
Translation:
My local retailer stores their aerosol sprays in locked display cases like the ones shown due to the area youth’s desire to inhale the chemicals. Are the undergarments locked up because of customers like yourself inhaling the fragrance of unsoiled undergarments?
I thought you meant the kids were attempting huffing underwear lmao
Or deodorant sticks
Same. I thought there was deodorant in the underwear and kids were huffing the sprayed undies to get a buzz.
😉 thanks mate
Just buy the right one
