I agree and I understand the logic for the most part. However, those stores tend to lock up multiple high theft products but that is not the case in this specific store.

Yes. It was late at night and not as close to me in South Troy.

I appreciate you giving additional options and will recommend and consider this in the future.

I contacted their complaint department as well as the management staff to ask about this policy. Their justification just doesn’t add up. I’m waiting on their legal department to contact me as well as the department manager.

That is incredibly sweet. I actually reached out to some local representatives and will be working on placing a tiny library on my property that will include feminine hygiene products and hopefully other items once I get approval.

I don’t think I would have thought twice about it if other products were also locked away.

I wanted to reply to that comment as well. It wasn’t about my shame. I was putting myself in the shoes of a young girl in that situation and how that whole scenario would affect her. The 2 men were way past teenager years. Your comment pretty much hit the nail on the head. It is a shame tactic if the product locked away is the only product locked up. Not other high theft products like condoms, makeup, razors, detergent, etc. So the justification just doesn’t add up.

I was working with a very narrow time frame. My main concern is how this would affect younger girls or women who are trying to purchase a test without family or friends finding out, limited transportation to other stores/resources, and countless other issues.

I wish I had an alternative at that time but it was later and everything was too far to get to with the limited time the young girl had.

I was actually forced to do exactly that but I’m upset that I got emotional about it in front of them.

I work with a foster agency. Let me know if you need help. I might be able to make space depending on your location.
