What's the deal with that DSC sales pitch

[Mr. Chairman]

So in ever Dollar Shave Club sponsored video Linus says something about going to the store, finding a sales person to unlock a cabinet with razors for you, something, something..

My brain goes: Whaaa...?

 

Are razors locked from the customers in Canada or US?

That would not be stupid. That would be retarded. Like srsly. I'm assuming they're packed in some sort of plastic anyway.

In my country (and I thought everywhere else) they just lie on the shelve, you know, accessible for a customer interested in a purchase like tomatoes or potatoes.

Only store that would put stuff on display but lock products so you have to call for staff if you want to buy would be electronics store, with cameras or TVs for example.

 

So they really lock stupid few dollars worth razors from you in like a Wallmart or Costco or wherever you happen to shop?

What's the deal with airline food?

[Horrorfull]

All the blades are locked in a cabinet because people can easily steal them and sell them on the black market(it exists).

[Kyuubixchidori]

they lock spray paint here.

 

and actually, a mcdonalds by my moms has bulletproof glass over the counter. the only way to get your food is though a little box where both doors cant be opened at the same time. so you can say we lock up our mcdonalds food to. 

[Erik4boss]

Because razors can be used as a weapon, and therefor they don't accept it? Same in US, but in US they fucking allow people to have guns at home.

You know you live in a ghetto when your local MCdonalds is so sick of being robbed it installs a bulletproof glass

Not really a "black market" but you can get really cheap razors at flea markets and online because they are stolen.

I thought it was strange as well. 

But here in sweden condoms are kept behind the counter for the same reason.

That makes no sense, in the US anyone can buy condoms and they can are just out on the shelf.

It's because kids kept stealing them. (Legal age is 15. And at that age it's embarrassing to ask for a pack of rubbers i guess)

Yeah in the US it's against the law to prohibit anyone from buying condoms, can't even ask their age. Better to have them be safe than just trust the old "well its against the law so they wont do it" logic.

[Art Vandelay]

The shoppers next to me doesn't lock the razors. They have it in a case that dings when you open it.

I should clarify one thing to the people that stumble into this thread though.

If you're over 18 and you sleep with a 15 year old in sweden it can be concidered rape. But if you're 17 there is some kind of loophole or something like that (but there is still a risk of it being ruled as rape)

Laws can be odd sometimes

 

I do love the naivety (If that's the wrong spelling i apologize) of the "It's against the law so they won't do it" logic...

Indeed, cuz you know "hey bro, we can't rob that convenience store and rape the girl at the counter cuz its illegal" conversations happen.

 

In the US we have the same sort of laws about age, but it varies from state to state. if an 18 year old has sex with a 17 year old he's going to jail though.

I always wondered, even if they were boyfriend and girlfriend since they were say 15, and she being slightly younger, would that be considered pedophilia the moment he turns 18...?

That is assuming the age of "adulthood" is 18 not 21.

Some places keep them in a cabinet, some places keep them in lock boxes, some places have them out on shelves with no problem.

 

Still cheaper and easier on Amazon.
