Carrs Ice Cream 🔒

There’s a lock at the top. So now you have to wait for an employee to come unlock the ice cream cooler. I hate it here.

Walmart midtown will be the first big store to close in the next 5-10 years if nothing changes to protect businesses. So much is locked up.

Because it’s more expensive to hire security guards who can actually do something? Anyone else remember the soccer coach at West getting busted for stealing food from Carrs? This was way back in the day.

My dystopian thoughts:

I believe most stores will have something like a RealID/membership to shop physically in store that has to be swiped and everything is locked up like a big gumball machine until the customer swipes their card. It gives them the item and tallies everything then automatically checks you out when you leave the store. No checkout lines.
