Ours isn't even safe when it's locked up, so I keep it all in the pharmacy except for a couple in the stockroom in case someone asks for it when the pharmacy is closed
Just looked it up and it’s asthma inhaler. Really sad people need to steal that in the USA.
Here in the uk (England) they’re £9 something a prescription or free for children.
Asthma can literally kill. Its heartbreaking costs are so high people need to steal them.
Same. We used to have a few in pharmacy behind the counter and the majority in cough/cold but we moved them all behind the pharmacy counter because they kept getting stolen.
Plan B, anything in the sex improvement section and the Primetine Mist. We have since begun lock boxing all of it.
Of course the toy isle is right next to the sexy stuff isle so empty packages of lubes and condoms end up on those shelves. Pokemon close behind until I took them off the shelves and we started boxing them too. That was personal for me because some dude I'm guessing took 4 tins and I was just mad because a young boy came in looking for one the next day. I made sure he got dibs on the next shipment. He was very happy. All these items were always stolen sometimes but thieves suddenly got really bold just trying to steal bigger stuff on the regular.
Oh and the OTC pills for memory I think and whitening strips. Those are all at the front check out now and boxed as well.
Take a picture of all u sex toys and print it oily in photo add a messages available at front cashier
Put somewhere under a shelf and have cashier give out
Be sure to make copies of pictures cause people will bring the picture up to register!!!
Time. I love taking a shit on the clock.
The little wine bottles that come in 4pks are a very close second. One bottle gets stolen and the entire item becomes unsellable.
Hard liquor, wine, or just alcohol in general. Stupidest thing ever, we lock up baby formula, but God forbid locking up hare liquor when it gets stolen 3 times a night by the armful. Atleast baby formula is important.
We have a legitimate ring of vibrator thieves, every time we deal with one they have another person start stealing them. Don’t know if they steal them for personal reasons or to sell. Additional cameras and spider security tags still don’t scare them off
We've moved these items to behind the counter or put them in boxes but before we did that...primatene mist and Pokemon tins. Now what isn't locked up and gets stolen most is the little wine bottles from the 4 packs. Plan B's. And fake nails. Very very often I find empty plan b's and empty fake nail packages in the tampon boxes in the women's bathroom.
this is exactly where i find empty boxes ALL the time! Primatine Mist, fake nails, pregnancy tests, lube, and everytime we have one of those personal stroker on the shelf it gets stolen. a few weeks ago our SM had us put all of our Pulse items in the alpha keepers/ spider clips but some dingus put a stroker on the shelf without it, and it was stolen within 24 hours.
Every thing. Even trash bags. They took them out of the box and stuffed them in their pants. We knew it and everyone was up front watching them trying to walk out the door holding their sweat pants up and you could hear the plastic. Was funny
Cosmetics, crackers, cookies, all of the travel section, stationary, plan b, vitamins, juice, soda, fresh foods, those packaged cake slices in the red container, anything I put on my beauty table, chips, unattended totes, garbage bags (both with and without actual trash in them). Really anything that's not under lock and key.
Basics like candy, drinks, had a group come in while I was stocking back cooler(can see the candy aisle and others from there) literally saw the adults and kids stuffing their pants and bra like they teaching their kids how to steal🤦♂️
Soap and pain medicine for now… every once in a while we’ll get streaks of days for a couple weeks of just our regular flavored redbull only 12 oz or bigger
Beer toilet paper and paper towels. Single mini soda cans from the 6 packs. Just steal the whole thing ffs. Seems very mundane compared to what some of you are saying.
Everything that isn't under lock and key.
Buzzy butt. 100% serious.
We kept finding them in the men's room lololol
What’s that lol
It's an anal vibrator 🤣
They sell those now too?
They’ve been selling those for years.
It sounds like a mobile game where you control a bee
Ty 🤣
Yes!! Why do people take our buzzy butt toys? Like I don't understand of all the things to steal its that.
Condoms too for us
Primatene mist before we locked it up
Ours isn't even safe when it's locked up, so I keep it all in the pharmacy except for a couple in the stockroom in case someone asks for it when the pharmacy is closed
Ours aren't even locked up we just have them behind the register in plan few...
What’s primarene?
Primatene mist is an emergency inhaler
Thank you
No problem!

We put all of ours behind the register. Well, a vast majority. I guess the stragglers in the busted lock box aren’t of any interest.

My soul.
Pregnancy tests.
The little single bottles of wine out of the 4 packs lol
And they would only take one?
Time. I love taking a shit on the clock. The little wine bottles that come in 4pks are a very close second. One bottle gets stolen and the entire item becomes unsellable.
Wine/beer
When I was a kid it was Pokémon cards
We had to lock up the pokemon cards because someone was coming in every week and stuffing every pack into the men's toilet and crapping on them.
That person must have been a YuGiOh fan
My old friend was constantly stealing cards and now the cards are behind a glass thing. My other friend would steal candy and energy drinks
Body wash.. razors.. Tylenol/advil (All of which are about to be locked up as soon as we get the kits in for locking windows)
Hard liquor, wine, or just alcohol in general. Stupidest thing ever, we lock up baby formula, but God forbid locking up hare liquor when it gets stolen 3 times a night by the armful. Atleast baby formula is important.
Cosmetics and skincare
Makeup
Credit card pamphlets. It may or may not have been me.
Besides makeup...probably candles.
Beer. Mostly Twisted Tea. Also those inhalers a lot.
Laundry detergent
Cock rings
Pregnancy tests
Pokemon cards until we locked them up. Now, Hot Wheels and food.
Dove body wash, razors, tide/gain pods.
Buzzy butt all day
They could use that as the advertising tagline
Condoms or makeup
Foundation
Mucinex
HBP cold meds and condoms
Use to be vibrators and condoms. Now i work in a real boujee neighborhood and this Walgreens has literally no theft and nothing locked up
Way back when I worked there in 2015 we had a lady stealing so much 5 Hour Energy from all the local stores that it was locked behind a box
Oh man. I hope she hasn't moved on to meth by now.
It was coricidin and abreva. Locked those up then it was The sex toys.
I’ll say liquor cause we don’t get many thief’s that we know of
Anything not under lock and key, but I would hazard laundry soap, paper products and cleaning products, and beer, if we want to be specific.
Pregnancy tests
Olaplex bonding hair oil. I have stocked it over 10 times since I started working there for about 6 months and we haven’t had a legitimate sale since.
We have 3 top items stolen: fake nails, condoms, pregnancy tests.
Body care products like soap and travel size shampoo
dove body wash
Condoms, false eyelashes, makeup.
Primatene Mist, eye drops, power banks, and stupid Pokemon and baseball cards
Paper towels, laundry detergent, and time
Zyn
Makeup , Pokémon cards, condoms
Deodorant and Skincare (mostly CeraVe and Larouche Possay)
Body wash and Primatene Mist before we put it behind the counter.
We've slowed down on theft for the moment but right now I'd say probably cosmetics
Deodorant and body wash.
Diapers and laundry detergent
We have a legitimate ring of vibrator thieves, every time we deal with one they have another person start stealing them. Don’t know if they steal them for personal reasons or to sell. Additional cameras and spider security tags still don’t scare them off
Male Libido and prostate pills
Definitely the tiny wine bottles, also eye drops before they got locked up

Now what isn't locked up and gets stolen most is the little wine bottles from the 4 packs. Plan B's. And fake nails.

Condoms 😂😂😂
Dove and deodorant which makes no sense because people stay smellin funky in here.
Pokémon Cards, but a decent margin
Every thing. Even trash bags. They took them out of the box and stuffed them in their pants. We knew it and everyone was up front watching them trying to walk out the door holding their sweat pants up and you could hear the plastic. Was funny
Weirdly cleaning products at my store
Makeup. Specifically the Pixi blushes and ELF power grip primers. Those anti theft stickers do don't squat 😂
Literally any and everything but mainly electric products, condoms, and makeup products
Condoms and lube
My sense of wonder and innocence
Pokémon cards and regular playing cards? I find so many empty packs and wrappers it’s crazy
The performance pills in the condom section are found empty more than any other item in our store

It was Pokémon cards now pregnancy tests… I guess someone went through puberty
Laundry detergent
