Typically downtown in big cities, or lower income areas l. I have been in a few stores where the entire health and beauty dept. was behind some kind of case.
I’d guess our supermarkets wouldn’t even have the staff for this, it’s cheaper to have some loss from theft than having only 1 more employee for the permanent unlocking.
In Baltimore, USA and I cannot figure out the rationale for what gets locked and what doesn’t. I have seen $50 items out in the open right next to $5 items that are locked up. I guess its just based on what gets lifted the most??
2? Idk the last time its been that low, but my regular basic one is now $7 and if i want a unique scent by the same brand its $12 for some unknown reason. Still locking them up is weird, Ive never seen that were i live thankfully.
Here I can get the cheapest for~1,70€. I don’t want axe or such stuff, I don’t like this pungent smell. Just don’t want to smell sweaty. If I want a special scent I take parfum, smells much better and I guess is cheaper for me
unscented antiperspirant costs $8 now. fuck me for not wanting to smell like fake flowery bullshit i guess
I even looked into making my own but sadly aluminum zirconium salts are both really expensive and really fucking difficult to dissolve in water, so not an even remotely straightforward DIY hygiene product
Your deodorants are locked? That’s 2€ stuff
Big city problems
US problem. I live in Montréal and locked items in pharmacies is generally not a thing here. We can even walk in most stores with our backpacks.
Never seen it for deodorant and I’ve lived in the US for decades.

I live in midtown manhattan, all the drug stores here have locked up all of the deodorant. Even Irish Spring bars are locked up now lol.
It doesn’t even work; turns out retails CEOs misrepresented their sources of inventory loss, and random petty theft is a tiny factor.
Oh whaaaat CEOs failed to understand a simple core problem for their companyyy~? OMG I’m so shocked I need to sit down…
The only thing locked in Germany behind glass is high value alcohol.
I’m from Berlin, the biggest city in the EU.
We sometimes have liquor and parfum locked but I think I’ve never seen it for deodorant.

Protein bars are necessary for health? I’ve been boofing them for years

That varies entirely per region of the US.

There is very little common between the US and Germany.

From my experience in retail it’s usually the products that get stolen the most; they’re often, but not necessarily always the most expensive ones.
Also some things that have a significantly higher than average return rate.
It’s often a size vs value vs fence-ability.
I have not seen Deodorant but commonly see razor blades since a 5 pack is small and like 30 dollars.

You can email p and g or Unilever and ask. That should get you most deodorant brands.
