      I already hated shopping at Superstore. What they accomplished was turning me into a broken glass shopper.

      Walmart had stuff like this, so when leaving with nothing bought, i would walk up to the chrome fence and duck and sidestep through it. A Fence with giant holes does nothing to stop somebody who wants to shoplift, it just make life hard for the majority of honest people
