Hi!Similar experience at drug store (walgreen). Half the merchandise was locked up. (Interesting, some $5 items were locked up while $15 things sat on adjacent open shelves.)
If you wanted to buy anything you had to find a clerk to unlock and release it. But the store has been famous for years for being very short-staffed. Your chances of finding a clerk with a key are about the same as finding the gold pot at the end of the rainbow.
If you succeed in either finding that ephemeral clerk or else breaking the desired piece of trash out of its prison by any other means, you still have to pay for it. At the cash register, the clerk will “test” your $20 bill, this takes place in front of all the other customers to portray you as a crook.
The recent sign someone posted fits these ridiculous conditions to a T, “
“If I could counterfeit currency, what makes you think I’d be shopping at Dollar Saver?”
No, dear reader, this is not Brazil, Venezuela, or the backwaters of Tijuana.
This is your country.
