Took me a second to realize these are locked behind glass.
Maybe I’m alone on this, but if I see a product that’s locked up, which usually isn’t locked up, then I’m not asking for assistance - I’m just buying it somewhere else.
In my local Target and Walmart, the underwear section is a mess with all packaging scattered amongst the various walls. I can tell when they’re short staffed by how disorganized it is. I buy stuff from CostCo now for better quality and that section as well as ALL the clothing tables are kept in order.
Yeah, we deffo wouldn’t want people to steal… <checks notes> cheap mens underwear?
Its honestly probably one of the most shoplifted items because its one of the most necessary, and people who are struggling can’t afford it. There’s a reason underwear and socks are the most requested items at shelters.
To me this is similar to putting those bars on street benches so that people can’t sleep on them. It’s very much a “fuck you” to those who are already struggling the most.
This is literally the underwear index. If people are opting to steal men’s underwear instead of purchase, we are in some deep, DEEP shit already.
