In the last drug store I worked in, about 3 years ago, before I quit they went through the makeup department and put hanger locks on every single item in the department. A massive about of extra effort for the already laborious task of stocking that section.

The result? Makeup continues to get stolen, but now no one buys any either, because the department never gets restocked. It's too time consuming. So the section always looks barren. Everybody just goes to sephora instead.

I could have told them this, but who would listen to some girl with no business degree to wave around?
