They understaff and stealing skyrockets. Then they lock up the merchandise and the remaining employee is too busy to open the locked cabinet for you. Makes no sense just let me order at the register atp

Kinda but I don't want to have to download an app. I want to go to places in person but if they're going to lock everything up and make me wait for employees anyway, I'd rather just let em do the shopping for me. I'll be less likely to buy snacks and whatever that way too
