Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

A few months ago, my local Walmart locked down all the facial skincare stuff in the same way perfumes are secured - behind a locked display that requires a manager to open.
After the second time I stood around for 10 minutes waiting in vain for someone to unlock it so I could give them $3 for a package of blemish patches and then had to just give up and buy them online, I stopped even trying to buy them from Walmart.
I noticed earlier this week that a huge part of that aisle has been released from the locked doors, which makes me wonder if these dipshits realized that it's way harder on their bottom line to make it difficult for people to purchase from them than it is to just swallow a little theft here and there.
When I worked there, we only had one key behind the counter. Sometimes people took it with them and there was no way of knowing who has it or how to contact them because only the managers had radios, and you couldn't find them either lol. So the customer and I would just stand there like idiots for 10 minutes.
