I do this on every post with self censorship as well. Keep the faith brother or sister
Eventually we'll win. We just need to comment this every post too in order to get more people on board. No one likes this shit, and we don't need it on Lemmy.
May your pillow be cold on both sides for the rest of your days
Thank you for your service.

Your deodorants are locked? That's 2€ stuff
Big city problems
US problem. I live in Montréal and locked items in pharmacies is generally not a thing here. We can even walk in most stores with our backpacks.

Never seen it for deodorant and I've lived in the US for decades.
Typically downtown in big cities, or lower income areas l. I have been in a few stores where the entire health and beauty dept. was behind some kind of case.

I live in midtown manhattan, all the drug stores here have locked up all of the deodorant. Even Irish Spring bars are locked up now lol.
It doesn't even work; turns out retails CEOs misrepresented their sources of inventory loss, and random petty theft is a tiny factor.
Oh whaaaat CEOs failed to understand a simple core problem for their companyyy~? OMG I'm so shocked I need to sit down...

I'm from Berlin, the biggest city in the EU.
We sometimes have liquor and parfum locked but I think I've never seen it for deodorant.
Everything that is trendy or necessary for health is locled in the states. They lock fucking protein bars here. Its annoying af
Protein bars are necessary for health? I’ve been boofing them for years
Nope, just trendy. Mostly horrible for your gut biome actually
That varies entirely per region of the US.

In Baltimore, USA and I cannot figure out the rationale for what gets locked and what doesn't. I have seen $50 items out in the open right next to $5 items that are locked up. I guess its just based on what gets lifted the most??
From my experience in retail it's usually the products that get stolen the most; they're often, but not necessarily always the most expensive ones.
Also some things that have a significantly higher than average return rate.
It's often a size vs value vs fence-ability.
I have not seen Deodorant but commonly see razor blades since a 5 pack is small and like 30 dollars.

Unlock the deodorant, lock up or straight up ban cologne and perfume. I'd rather smell someone's BO than be assaulted by someone's perfume on the bus.
I agree to a point.
There are people who use much lighter scents and don't bathe in it. That can be pleasant.
Anyone using stupidly strong scents or just absolutely overdoing it should be charged with sensory assault or something. Also, people who don't outgrow the high school mentality of bathing in perfume or cologne to hide BO instead of just taking a shower.

Maybe the real reason some weebs and furries don't use it is becsuse they're too shy to get an employee to unlock it for them. 🤔
As someone living in Japan, this seems like a perfect use case for vending machines.

The censored word is “product.”
Excellent, exactly what I had in mind, you’re awesome.
Its funny but why are we fucking censoring shit and other shitty fucking fucky fuck cuss words? 😂
I picked up a set of underwear and went to the self-checkout. It started freaking out about weight difference, and so a worker came to me. She noticed someone had pulled out the middle underwear of the entire set, hardly noticeable. Pretty sure some thieves needed new underwear
For when you've only just got away from the police
shit
Shit
toiletries, personal hygeine are the most stolen item. supplements(including and not limited to protein powders, health powders) are stolen en masse, and coffee too to be sold(not for personal use) and its often. drug addicts go for ice cream the most.
