The poll in the article...

Would you use an app to unlock retail store displays?

Yes. If it speeds up shopping, that's a win for me.

No. I don't need an app to shop, and will just find and employee to unlock it.

Where's the option of "no, I didn't need it as much as I thought I did"

@howrar @dantheclamman I needed a replacement garage door remote last week. Bunnings has them locked to the shelf thing. I did bend it a fair amount but couldn't get the thing off. Found an employee who seemed as pissed off as I was. He didn't have a key though. So had to disappear for quite some time to find one. It's a $60 product in a reasonable size pack. Not a $6000 item I can slip in my pocket. Another reason to shop online (I needed that item that day otherwise I would have got it online)

Or, "No, I'm not bothering to shop at CVS anymore because that's a hassle."
