So you're going to punish some poor associate who didn't want to lock those items up in the first place? Good way to be an evil human being. Trust me, they hate those locked cabinets more than you do. They have to deal with hundreds of people like you - you only have to deal with 1 of them.
During my retail days I loved to maliciously comply with stupid policies, so standing by watching some guy sample every deodorant scent while I still got paid would have been 🤌
Most of us have better things to do. And most employees will get their asses chewed for not getting their work done, despite someone doing something like this.
Alright ambassador for "most of us", I didn't know you were voted into office, forgive me. And as for the employee getting chewed out, how do you know they're not instructed to stand there and wait anyway? I mean, what's the point of a locked cabinet if you're just going to unlock and walk away?
Of course they're required to stand there. But they also have a long list of tasks that have to be done besides just standing at that cabinet door. Tasks that can't just be ignored because of customers that choose to waste other people's time.
If you get desperate, milk of magnesia will change the skin pH there enough to deodorize without being too harsh on the skin (I'd choose unflavored or mint though)
No aluminum salt in there though, so unless you want to add aluminum chlorohydrate, not a antiperspirant
I read this as “antidepressant” and I was very intrigued but confused. Although any salt binding agent in significant enough quantities that enters the blood stream can be a lot of things. 🤷🏻♀️
What bothers me is seeing baby formula behind the counter under lock and key. I mean unless peeps are snorting it, or something, it’s a very sad reflection on these pharmacies and on society that we must not allow you to steal to feed your baby.
How about getting some emergency contraceptives from them and having the worker walk you to the registers with it and basically show it to the checkout person with no attempt to be discreet to ANY of the customers around like you. Like his own personal way of showing how much a "sinner" you are.
Or… get an empty cart and when they open the case shovel an entire shelf of deodorant into the cart with your arm and then abandon the cart at the checkout and buy like… one stick. Sorry. Changed my mind 😆
I need your manager to open this. Then, I will need the manager to fill my cart with 67 other items, because if common things like deodorant are kept under lock & key so that I can't shop for them for myself, the manager needs to personally collect EVERYTHING I'm shopping for.
As someone who has worked retail for most of my adult life, they aren't assuming. The things they're locking up are the highest shrink items. They know it's being stolen.
I'm currently engaged in my own personal boycott of Target over this. I *almost* left over the armed guards at the front door (and in retrospect should have) but the locked display cases put me over the edge. Interestingly, I really haven't missed a store I used to frequent at all.
I would want to know what is being done with deodorant to warrant such measure as well as the Degree of theft of such products and keep in mind this is a Belgian/French franchise. Many stores have razors and certain other products set up like this for a reason besides theft of such products.

Then make them stand there for a really really long time while I read the labels on multiple items.
Long ago during my mall retail days almost all young employees would walk very very slowly to the dumpster.

Like Tide Pods in 2018.
Mentally maldeveloped, lead poisoned executives are the root cause.

"Are there really so many deodorant sticks getting stolen that you can justify treating your ENTIRE clientele like criminals?"
That's not very welcoming.
Or i’d just go somewhere else.
Easy to forget about those stuck in the middle because of bad decisions made by corporate.
They do that with spray paint in OZ and with construction foam in Europe, but I have never seen that with deodorant
