Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It's really simple: either you accept shrink, or you hire enough people with keys to handle your anti-theft shit.
I don't go to target anymore, CVS, or Walgreens if it's at all avoidable because it's going to take an hour to get in, buy a few things, and leave.
They want to lock shit up, but then only have one employee covering the whole damn store that can unlock shit, meaning if you want some laundry detergent, it's going to take you half an hour.
Of course, the local grocery stores, Walmart, Amazon, and various other retailers don't lock shit up, so yeah, I just go there and don't have to deal with stupid bullshit pushed by morons who haven't gone shopping in one of the stores they run.
Just wait, I'm sure soon a wild techbro will appear with a great solution to this problem that will require you to install an app and surrender all your data and biometrics in order to open those cases yourself to get a damn toothbrush or some shaving cream...
If this happens I'm now personally blaming you.
Just send your ID in and they'll authorize Unlokr to let you buy your dish soap in peace.
