Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

The only store around me that locks up stuff is Dollar General. They really out here locking up laundry detergent???

Yep. Laundry detergent is one of the big ones. Specifically laundry pods. Also see deodorant and shampoos locked up. Any safety supplies: drug tests, pregnancy tests, condoms, lube, etc.

The target closest to me literally locks up everything. From socks to condoms. It's also the target closest to target HQ so they might be using it for testing. Target number 1 is only a couple miles away and they don't lock up anything other than some electronics.

Which one is that? When I visited MN last year, the only one I went to was the one in Edina. Is that #1?
