My great aunt was a clerk at Kress (K-mart) starting around WWII into the fifties. She took your order then went and got your stuff for you. So it's actually leftists who want to take America back to the 1950s.

Even earlier: The birth of self-service shopping for groceries and consumer goods is generally considered to be in 1916 at Piggly Wiggly in Memphis.

Is it wrong that if I went shopping there, I'd really have to fight the urge to just walk out without paying after getting the employees to open several cases?

I was thinking the same thing, just walk out with it!

It is happening all over the country. Florida HomeDepot is caging almost all the tools across the entire store. Florida dept cages

It does not matter for after the crooks get what they want, they will just wheel the cart out of the store.

**** em. I don't care.

Maybe some stores can be online pick up only.

Does anyone remember these? I know they had one in Corpus Christi in the 80's.

Ever wonder why a late night talk show host makes a point to politicize his "comedic" monologue every night? Drip, drip, drip, drip….again and again. It's not funny. It's a weak attempt at brainwashing.

And yet, Gavin Newsom will somehow defend this. Oh no wait, he won't even talk about it.

But how does it work? Do you have to get an employee to unlock each door when you need something or only do pick up orders?

The closest Target to me is a 5 minute drive across the river to Portland, and that one has a lot of their personal care items locked up. It's not nearly as bad as that one in California, though. It's more expensive to buy the same things at Fred Meyer on the Washington side of the river, but a lot less hassle (and fewer gronks).

Exactly. They think if they tell everyone in a snarky way that the sky is red instead of blue...people will believe it.

They should let all these "ladies and gentlemen" in the store until it's full, then bar the doors so they can't get out.

Wait about 30 minutes for the real fun to start!!

People of all colors need sunscreen. You just notice sunburns more on white people
