Absolutely fascinating. This never happened in Canada. Shelves in pharmacies and hardware stores are still mostly plexiglass free, especially for low value items like toothpaste. I find it hard to believe that US stores lock up toothpaste!

@qole@techhub.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io here it seemed to be focused on the most basic items so deodorant was locked but sunscreen and most cosmetics aren't. It feels like a scam now because often the cheaper the item the more likely it is locked up. Like fancy deodorant is unlocked while boring cheap deodorant is locked. It's like a another fee, if you don't want to wait just pay more.
