Fun fact, next time you need something like that on the road just find a Dollar General. There's one approximately every nine feet (they're the retailer with the most locations in the US, bar none) and Dollar General don't give a fuck, therefore nothing is locked up there. Some stuff is behind the checkout counter, but that's all. Dollar General also doesn't care about you stealing the nail clippers, nor paying any employees to be present, nor much of anything else as far as I can tell.

Dollar stores are randomly over priced and they manage to treat their employees worse than Walmart.

However, Walmart does treat their customers worse than any retail I can think of which is really weird.
