Chatting with other shoppers also waiting for a CVS employee to unlock the plastic cabinet

If recleague had an opposite day for being a hater, my first post would be the dystopian “anti-theft” cases that now cover almost every single basic item at NYC drugstores. What I do recommend is breaking the ice with the other people who are also waiting for something to be unlocked to discuss which toothbrush should we each get, why are there 700 toothbrush options in the first place, capitalism, etc.
