Even if so, it is less of-putting to customers. I'd rather have employees stealing in the back, than deal with ski-masked thieves and locked up tools

Ski masked robbers are stealing deodorant and contraceptives?

yep, Ive seen it in SF. More often the case at hardware stores/home depots.

Laundry detergent is actually a really common item for resale, maybe because everyone uses it. You will see people with 40 gallons in their cart and you know they aren't paying.

Its not a fun experience.

Folks are walking around HD with a ski mask, and 40 gallons of laundry detergent, and the clue they are there to steal is the 40 gallons of detergent?
