    Damn straight

    Wal Mart near me has no pressure plate/"Please move item to bagging area", and a Home Depot nearby doesn't even have those RFID security gates lmao

      yup, same. well, actually one of them does, and it's sensitive as a motherfucker. you'll never guess what most of the people who shop there look like...

      it feels gross but that's why i near-exclusively stick to the stores in crackertown. "security" is usually just someone's grandma waving hello and goodbye. just gotta be careful that the prices aren't inflated to match the egos of the clientele or else you'll end up spending more than you save. deeply envious of your HD btw, all the hardware stores here are locked down hard and it suuucks.
