With many major retailers putting small items behind locked plexiglass, will we soon be required to call shoplifters “Undocumented Shoppers” ?
Until the invention of the shopping basket/cart, you went to the counter and had the clerk get what you wanted off the shelves behind them. Have we gone full circle?
I've heard of folks in other states talking about "when they came out with self-serve liquor stores."Until the invention of the shopping basket/cart, you went to the counter and had the clerk get what you wanted off the shelves behind them. Have we gone full circle?
Sounds familiar.Imagine a store where their inventory is all in the back behind a locked door. You go in and pick out "picture cards" for every item you want (similar to buying sudafed today in the pharmacy), and then you take them to the clerk who collects payment and then give you your items.
If their prices were cheaper because they didn't have to account for the cost of "retail shrink" (aka theft), would you shop there?
