I didn't even know who Sydney Sweeney was until the left started going bonkers.

Another example where the left fails. They start shouting to the highest rafters about something wrong and instead of gaining collective society outrage, they end up bring attention to something. Something that many people aren't even aware of and wouldn't likely become aware of. 

In this case they did it to two things. The actress and the jean company. They failed at both. They did the same with Hogwarts Legacy. The more they screamed about how horrible they were (the writer which had nothing to do with the game other than give permission to use her IP) and the game and the producer of the game. Instead it backfired and the game became one of the bestsellers that year. Same with Balder's Gate 3.  This was when cancel culture and the left was in POWER!  Even then they failed. Now they still think they can do it? CRAZY IMO.

I just went ot Walgreens. I don't go there often, and even less just browse. 

While there, I saw dozens of lock boxed products. A dam Febrese air freshener that is less than 5 dollars was behind a lock box. Deodorant was also behind a lock box. WTF?  This Walgreens is in a low crime area. People leave their garage open with their bikes and expensive yard tools there. (they at least some of those that I know in the area have cameras in there ) I can't imagine how bad it is in a high crime area. 

Oh, and they were racially profiling HARD, I can tell you. Holy shit, they were in high mode. Lol, while completely ignoring "others" like me. If I saw me and what I was wearing and doing. I would have seriously watched me, but that wasn't the case here. At least for a bit until they see my actions and rule out any bad intentions. ( I often look like a bum as I am lazy and don't really care what I look like most of the time. lol ) 

Constant ringing of the intercom to send help to x place and y place in the store so customers could get what they want. Why don't they just have it in a secured, locked place and hand out flyer in the location to bring to the register and then pull the product for the customer? Maybe even convert from a store to a internet related store with few items present for the customer to gap (impulse items with high margins) and the rest ordered using QR codes or better yet their website / app? Then gather it up and bring it to the customer. 

We don't have that problem where I live. Not even in areas where the population is mostly minorities. I remember a white guy shooting a black kid who was stealing from a CVS, I think. As far as I know, no charges were filed against him. People talk about Texas, but we don't mess around here either.
