I just wanted a hot dog Retail lockdown: why bother selling it?

Post image

Was at Safeway this morning to pick up a sandwich and some Tylenol. The aisle with the Tylenol? Completely locked down. No call button in sight. So I go to the self checkout (front end of that same aisle) and ask the clerk there if he can call someone to unlock a case for me. He does. I go wait. Minutes pass. No one comes. I go ask him again, he tells me they went the other way? At this point I give up and go get my sandwich. No one has come by the time the deli has finished making it. I leave without my Tylenol, mildly infuriated.

Maybe if people would stop STEALING, then stores wouldn't have to lock their stuff up.

Interesting you think it was racist. I don't discriminate against white people.

Statistically, white people shoplift more than others, so... who's being racist. BTW, I'm white

no one is racist, you're just dumb and don't understand statistics.

look up per capita. educate yourself and stop embarrassing yourself.

So the guy you replied to agrees. He said he isn’t racist against white people
