Took me a second to realize these are locked behind glass.
Maybe I’m alone on this, but if I see a product that’s locked up, which usually isn’t locked up, then I’m not asking for assistance - I’m just buying it somewhere else.

In my local Target and Walmart, the underwear section is a mess with all packaging scattered amongst the various walls. I can tell when they're short staffed by how disorganized it is. I buy stuff from CostCo now for better quality and that section as well as ALL the clothing tables are kept in order.
Yeah, we deffo wouldn't want people to steal.. cheap mens underwear?
Its honestly probably one of the most shoplifted items because its one of the most necessary, and people who are struggling can't afford it. There's a reason underwear and socks are the most requested items at shelters.
To me this is similar to putting those bars on street benches so that people can't sleep on them. It's very much a "fuck you" to those who are already struggling the most.
I'm pretty sure that employee hates the whole situation as much if not more than you do.
Can you make meth out of underwear?
briefs are the way to go if you hate having your balls touch you leg, boxer briefs ride up and you have to pay extra for good cradling
I try to be conscious of lifestyle creep as I get older and somewhat more financially stable (lol), but good underpants are a big one.
Good boxer briefs don't ride up, and if you get the ones with a special pouch for your meat and potatoes it's very hard to go back!
There's always free-balling it.
That has been my preference since childhood, though obviously it isn't suitable for all occasions.
I tried a pair of the Duluth Buck Naked with the bullpen and the seam started coming apart in the ball pouch after one wash. My regular Buck nakeds last 5 years or more until the elastic starts giving out. That's far longer than any other kind I've found.
It's not really the quality of underwear that would stop the riding up it would more come down to me losing maybe ten pounds to keep my thighs from rubbing together so much, I don't have that problem with briefs but I normally get the smallest comfortable I can so it's pretty much only pouch
Who do you think puts merchandise on the shelves in the first place?
Also, these locked cases may be stupid, but let's not pretend that 30 other customers didn't touch your undies back before they started using them either.
Not to mention they’re in a plastic bag, so they’re not “fondling” them. That’s a childish take there. “Omg they drank out of the same cup…. That’s an indirect kiss!”
Eww, you don't wash new underware after buying it?
There may be times in your life you immediately need fresh underwear. Flight cancellation, food poisoning.
I think they may just not like the idea of a somewhat intimate garment requiring assistance.
Ah, now I see. It didn't occur to me at all that shops would be afraid that people steal men's underware or that having a cashier handle it (when properly packaged) would be an (emotional?) issue for the buyer. I guess those issues are somehow related?
I think it's more the case that this is an unnecessary barrier to the process.
I don't think the issue is that someone else has touched the pack of undies, it's that you need to go through the palaver of having someone retrieve your undies for you.
Additionally, and I know it might be a radical departure from what the internet suggests, but not everyone wants to share their underwear choices with other folks.
And I know you might think "well the cashier would see it anyway", but surely you see the difference between someone mechanically ringing up undies in a pile of shopping, and needing to have an actual conversation about what type of underwear you intend to buy with someone?
That's the issue.
Controversial opinion: society is better when we allow desperate people to procure basic things like underwear without having to pay for them. We shouldn't encourage such procurement, but we shouldn't be hindering it either.
caveat: mostly
Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting food/clothes/necessities, no you fucking didn't.
Also just break this shit and make it look like an accident, I mean I have almost broken something similar on accident so it's possible.
I can only assume this is Walmart. Your problem is you're shopping at Walmart.
There’s a Target logo on a tag on the far left-bottom.
We have deodorant in these because the local kids like to huff it. Are you people huffing clean jocks?
Translation:
My local retailer stores their aerosol sprays in locked display cases like the ones shown due to the area youth’s desire to inhale the chemicals. Are the undergarments locked up because of customers like yourself inhaling the fragrance of unsoiled undergarments?
I thought you meant the kids were attempting huffing underwear lmao
