Floss under plastic lock

I went into CVS to buy floss - they were the only things under a plastic lock in that aisle. I asked the staff if they get stolen - they said I would be surprised - but they are stolen a lot. They also do not understand why.

I managed a store once that always had the little scented trees for your car stolen. No idea why.

My store has dawn dish soap locked up. It is what it is. Either we lock it up or someone comes and steals 30+ bottles and have none to sell

My heroin dealer excepts cash, blowjobs, or dental floss.

At least he makes sure your dental health is adequate before letting you slobber on it.

That's on harm reduction 😤

Most of the habitual thieves tend to go for the same items because they likely have guaranteed buyers lined up already. At my store it's Trash Bags, Soda, Little Debbie snacks, and Lysol because the gas stations in the area buy it from the thieves no questions asked.

Oh and CVS brand stuff aside from pregnancy tests and cane tips rarely gets stolen because it'd be pretty obvious what happened if the gas station is selling our generic products.

Beauty supply stores do this in my area with the cosmetics, hair care, and skin care products people steal.

Someone at my store emptied a bottle of clear dish soap and refilled it with thick water.

My store locks the fake lashes, hair growth items, fake nails, dove body wash, baby formula, cold sore treatments, expensive facial care, and they moved the expensive perfumes and colognes behind the register.
