I’m also curious about the logic of what items get locked up.
I went in a few shops recently, and all the toothbrushes were locked up. I know personal-care items tend to be the first things in the cages. Yet plenty of other items with higher value and margins are out in the open.
Is there some virtue-agenda in play? Don’t make it too easy to steal your way into healthy or presentable?
I never realized the tattoos were photoshopped.
I assumed they used a random stock photo that had a convenient pose to add the shirt onto, that happened to have a tattoo.
Of course, I also figured using a photo with too much ink would 1) distract from the merchandise and 2) make the stock photo model too recognizable. (Oh, they clearly used Getty #8675309, “Fat White Guy With Mediocre Barbed Wire Tattoo”), but plenty of the pics are identifiable enough to use for a police report.
