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.
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.
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.
2? Idk the last time its been that low, but my regular basic one is now $7 and if i want a unique scent by the same brand its $12 for some unknown reason. Still locking them up is weird, Ive never seen that were i live thankfully.
You can email p and g or Unilever and ask. That should get you most deodorant brands.
Its funny but why are we fucking censoring shit and other shitty fucking fucky fuck cuss words? 😂
The censored word is “product.”
Excellent, exactly what I had in mind, you’re awesome.
shit
Please no. That shit is horrendous. I'd rather smell BO.
I use the unscented kind
I honestly didn't think deodorant was stil a thing since I decoupled from advertising. I'm a man who can cook and eat well so apparently I smell great even if I go a couple of days without showering sometimes.
Are you relying on your own nose or someone else's?
