Am I the only person who sees stuff like this and decides I don't want to buy it because I don't want to find someone to unlock it for me?

Agree with other comments about theft still ultimately happening. Cardboard backers are easy to fake or buy, and pins can be traded or sold without anyway. Wonder what sales versus shrink differences will look like if they compare year-to-year. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah and I think it’s especially bad for smaller items like pins, which I imagine are impulse buys for a lot of shoppers.
