re: I'm sick of everything in stores being locked up.

I was in Tokyo this year. People don’t even lock their bicycles up when they leave them on the sidewalk.

Want to know what they are missing?

I lived in Tokyo for years. Guess what……people steal bicycles. What do you think Tokyo cops do all day?

Seriously…..what are they missing?

This is not a thing in Collin County, Texas

I think the only thing I've seen locked up in Parker County is some of the electronics in Walmart.

Kroger and Walmart have forever lost my bourbon business due to this.

The funny thing is I've been to grocery stores where $60, $70, $90 bottles of bourbon were not locked up while $20 bottles of shitty vodka, tequila and gin were locked up right next to them. The stores aren't choosing which items to lock up haphazardly. They are locking up the items most frequently stolen. Perhaps some enterprising student could do a case study on why there seemingly isn't a need to lock up an $80 bottle of Elija Craig bourbon while there IS a need to lock up a $25 bottle of Ciroc apple flavored vodka?

I guess the world may never know

When I see this, it is usually due to that bottle not having a regular spot in the closet. Wood finished series Maker's is a current example.
