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.
Just about anywhere in the South you'll see it.
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.
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.
I'd guess our supermarkets wouldn't even have the staff for this, it's cheaper to have some loss from theft than having only 1 more employee for the permanent unlocking.
Oh they don't staff the stores well enough for these locks either. You can go into a Target in any big city on the west coast and you'll see the locked cabinet doors left wide open because they don't have enough people to respond.
There is very little common between the US and Germany.
