Sadly a lot of the more risky chains do this pretty regularly. I was in a best buy a few years ago where almost everything was behind glass. I wonder what that does to the minds of locals shopping and feeling like they're always under lock and key. It can't be healthy.

Also requires more staff to get the goods to the customer. It used to be normal for everything in a store to be behind the counter, and you got served. But self service is cheaper for the store, unless/until we reach a tipping point regarding thefts.
