I do this on every post with self censorship as well. Keep the faith brother or sister

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

Eventually we'll win. We just need to comment this every post too in order to get more people on board. No one likes this shit, and we don't need it on Lemmy.

Your deodorants are locked? That's 2€ stuff

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.

what? there's some stores you can't?

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately yes. It's kind of a reverse "big city" problem here. In towns and small cities a lot of stores are demanding people to leave their backpack at the front counter and grab it back when they leave. I grew up in a town of ~7000 people and everyone has a car, just like in the US. Everyone is dependent on a car. So stores don't want backpacks because they're associated with mischievous students. Why don't you just leave your backpack in your car? In fact, why don't you have a car? Why the fuck do you need a backpack?! Are you a kid or something?!

I moved to Montréal nearly two decades ago and I'm happy to be car free. But every time I go back to my hometown, I get reminded that adults walking around with a backpack is not the norm in that part of the world. In bigger cities and dense areas, there's enough people without a car to just walk everywhere with a backpack and it becomes impossible to demand everyone to leave them at the counter. And people might protest it anyway. It's one thing to demand teenagers to leave a backpack with a random store employee, but it's another to demand office workers to leave their backpack containing a corporate laptop with a random store employee.

Whenever I encounter this practise, I get a bit insulted and usually refuse to play their game if I have a backpack with me.

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.

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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??

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

Maybe the real reason some weebs and furries don't use it is because they're too shy to get an employee to unlock it for them. 🤔

[-] farmgineer@nord.pub 12 points 1 month ago

As someone living in Japan, this seems like a perfect use case for vending machines.

Unlock the deodorant, lock up or straight up ban cologne and perfume. I'd rather smell someone's BO than be assaulted by someone's perfume on the bus.

I agree to a point.

There are people who use much lighter scents and don't bathe in it. That can be pleasant.

Anyone using stupidly strong scents or just absolutely overdoing it should be charged with sensory assault or something. Also, people who don't outgrow the high school mentality of bathing in perfume or cologne to hide BO instead of just taking a shower.

[-] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I do a single spritz of cologne on the chest before I put on clothes. That way I can smell it, and anyone that gets very close can smell it too, but i dont think I stink up an elevator.

The censored word is “product.”

Excellent, exactly what I had in mind, you’re awesome.

[-] REDACTED@infosec.pub 18 points 1 month ago

I picked up a set of underwear and went to the self-checkout. It started freaking out about weight difference, and so a worker came to me. She noticed someone had pulled out the middle underwear of the entire set, hardly noticeable. Pretty sure some thieves needed new underwear

For when you've only just got away from the police

[-] trainsrkool@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

Its funny but why are we fucking censoring shit and other shitty fucking fucky fuck cuss words? 😂

[-] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago
[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

toiletries, personal hygeine are the most stolen item. supplements(including and not limited to protein powders, health powders) are stolen en masse, and coffee too to be sold(not for personal use) and its often. drug addicts go for ice cream the most.
