There is no way this wasn't tested and found to be lacking. You don't just roll out something like this with 200 million dollars to every store. They would have known right out the gate that this was costing them sales. Just like they would have known that locking everything up was going to cost them more sales than they ever lost and shoplifting.
So you have to ask yourself why they did this in the first place and I would bet money somebody's brother-in-law or some such or somebody's body on another boa

Funny thing, one of the shops here (Europe) locked the liquor cabinet (only hard stuff) about two years ago. Lasted all of around 6 months because sales essentially vanished. None of the competition even tried it. I bought something from it once, and it took them more than 5 minutes to find the key. That already tells the whole story.
The hardware seems to be not the biggest problem here, if the project didn't pay for itself then it was going to be axed anyway.
Part of this story could well be Walgreens executives trying to shift blame for the idea to hide the inventory people want to buy or browse, and display advertisements instead.
Somebody must have been looking at the video display on a gas pump and thought, "Hey, I've got an idea for something even more annoying!"
What kind of sadistic bastard came up with this, and that kind of idiot at Walgreens bought in?
