I was in CVS this past weekend, to purchase contact solution, and on the very same isle, I noticed a glass case with condoms being stored in it. I stated out loud "why would you have condoms locked up in a glass case, if there is no age limit on buying condoms?" By all means it was a rhetorical question, but my mom joked and was like, "I guess CVS got tired of fools stealing condoms." WOW, okay so if store owners are tired of people stealing, shouldn't eveything in the store be locked in a glass case? Why condoms? We realize that people do steal when they go into stores, but are condoms the main product that thieves are looking for? So many questions, so little answers.

If I were to purchase condoms, I would be embarrassed to have to find a store employee with a key to open the case, stand there with the employee to decide on what condom, brand, and even flavor I want to purchase, all while other customers walking pass, watching me deliberate. What happened to privacy? Have we as a society, gotten so bad, that we no longer can afford privacy, or trust?

 Unfortunately, CVS has been known to do that in many (if not most) of their stores.
