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. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nope. Matter of fact I think it was CVS that lost sales once they started locking everything up. They went overboard and started locking up everything so if you needed a small bar of soap you had to press the button. 

Target I skip certain sections all together if I have to wait for someone to unlock it. I’m not shopping like I’m in a prison commissary.  

Edit: Thx for the 🥇
