Coles have put in a stupid transparent prison for toothbrushes, toothpastes, makeup, and razors. There’s a camera up the top that stares down at you. You push the button, and then an employee remotely unlocks it. It buzzes and they (allegedly) sit there watching you to make sure you don’t steal
I don’t care if people are stealing them honestly. Couldn’t gives a rat’s arse. This stupid monitoring bullshit they’re doing is getting ridiculous. First they put in the AI cattle gates/illegal detainment system, now they’re locking up $5 toothpastes in a damn glass box
I realise this isn’t new, and is a smidge nicer than the metal bar cage things they do at some stores and are common in the US, but it’s still ridiculous.
Both of the big supermarkets are evil but Coles feel that bit more like they’ve actually declared war on their own customers. I’ve avoided shopping there since they installed the awful cattle gates.
Nope. I bet this entirely kills sales of those products. I predict it’ll be more profitable to just have regular shelves. Even with a percentage of loss through shoplifting.
Let’s see if I’m right and this doesn’t get rolled out to all the other stores. 😃
Those things piss me off. Having to call an employee to purchase knifey cutlery at Kmart 😾 and magnetic stickers on makeup that I can never fully remove 😾
I’ve got some bad news - Bluey has been locked up
