Jesus Christ that all sounded (unfortunately) normal until the locked freezers. That's a step too far. I mean, all of it is, but that's actually a ridiculous concept lmao
I wonder if that's a response to that stupid internet trend of opening ice cream containers to lick it and then put it back.

Luckily it's not trending anymore, but that was a thing.
It's pretty funny to think, living in the US, nothing is odd about a privately employed person with a gun guarding groceries or people being violently arrested when they steal said groceries out of necessity.
