    It’s the fucking worst. Say I need a toothbrush, new mascara, and cough syrup. That’s gonna be at least 10 minutes waiting for the one overworked staff member to unlock the case at each of them.

      A toothbrush? In the U.K. they’re like 2 quid …we’re actually gonna end up with people using Amazon for their shop for everything. It won’t end up with your weekly shopping trip being from the same place either.

          To be fair ….i live in a small town. I don’t tend to go other places and buy tooth brushes, but at the same time only expensive items are locked up.

            Deodorant is the thing here

            Also for some reason laundry detergent? Like, just get purex and be done with it, like $10 for a year supply.

              From what I understand laundry detergent (especially Tide) is used as a black market currency because the value is relatively stable and everyone needs it eventually.

              I found a wholesaler that sells a 5gal bucket of laundry detergent for $45, lasts probably 6 months.

                We’re a small household with minimal laundry so 5 gallons is more like a 10 year supply for us… I’m here for it : D

                  Looking around online they’re a bit more than $50. It might be worth it to look around locally, I bet you have a laundry janitorial wholesaler near you.
