The family dollar next to my house completely walled off the hair products aisle. You couldn’t even see what they had down there just had to play 20 questions with the cashier to get a cheap bottle of shampoo. They gave up on that after a couple weeks and now the cashier has to let you hold up the checkout so you can go to this special restricted area yourself and finish shopping.

I bet what they saved in loss prevention isn’t even close to what they lost in sold products.
