Why?

Sunday morning before brunch I set off on a quick run to a nearby Walmart. This is not my favorite shopping destination but it is the closest place where I can find thread and some fabric. I wanted plain white flannel to cover a quilting design wall in ECP's Creativity Center.....none.  I wanted some fusible bonding web to start on a new idea for another quilt.....none.  I found strawberries, blueberries and red pepper hummus and then headed to the pharmacy area. I needed some deodorant.

Much to my surprise the whole deodorant section is now locked behind glass.

I stood there for a minute wondering "Why?" I looked around for any sales staff but didn't see anyone and didn't feel like waiting. Why would deodorant now be "behind bars"? Has someone figured out how to boil it down to make some new kind of street drug? Is it just targeting by shoplifters too often??

I don't know. I really did walk away sort of shaking my head and puzzled. 2024, what a world.  I will walk the three blocks to CVS after brunch.....in the meantime, don't get too close!
