[–]Todomanna 39 points40 points ago

It looks like someone peeled the sticker off of somewhere else and slapped it on the display.

[–]cornbread_tp 37 points38 points ago

As a walgreens employee, I can confirm this is what happened.

[–]riggsinator 13 points14 points ago

As an employer of common sense, I can confirm this man speaks the truth.

[–]cornbread_tp 0 points1 point ago

As Walgreens employee, I have to inform you that you're not welcome here

[–]andreylosev 10 points11 points ago

Most likely it was op.

[–]metalhead4 4 points5 points ago

For karma!

[–]Throwawaychica 2 points3 points ago

Probably not, this is a repost.

[–]Mitsuariana 5 points6 points ago

I work for Walgreens also, and yes there has been lots of incidents of theft of condoms, I don't think the actual employees would put the sticker there. Also, if it was an actual employee, we don't put the stickers over the price tags.

[–]Slayner 77 points78 points ago

Personally I like to try on my condoms and test them out before I buy them. This store clearly doesn't care about it's customers.

[–]aubgrad11[S] 46 points47 points ago

all I know is the Magnums are too big :/

[–]VAGINA_BLADES 29 points30 points ago

And the ultra-thins are too small! They break so easily!

[–]GreatBosh 37 points38 points ago

If you have vagina blades, it's really not going to matter how thick the rubber is.

[–]VAGINA_BLADES 42 points43 points ago

Why do you think they invented these?

[–]thesandbar2 42 points43 points ago

Silly silly. Chainmail isn't cumproof.

[–]PhantomSwagger 38 points39 points ago

No, you slide that on top of the condom.
Added bonus: the texture is for her pleasure.

[–]LiquorballSandwich 25 points26 points ago

Chained for her pleasure

[–]quantiplex 3 points4 points ago

Kink(y) in the armour

[–]BordomBeThyName 1 point2 points ago

Teeeeeeny tiiiiiiiny chainmail is.

[–]amb154 5 points6 points ago

Two days. Good enough.

upvote

[–]ThePhenix 3 points4 points ago

Probably British.

[–]TedFromTheFuture 6 points7 points ago

I've been afraid to try them for that purpose. But it would be nice to get something close to the real feeling.

[–]metalhead4 1 point2 points ago

This 100x. I had a 24pack and broke 3 of them.

[–]walkinthecow 1 point2 points ago

They were actually handing out Magnums at a hiphop event at the venue where I work - fucking hilarious!! I took a couple home, and they work just fine for me!

They are really not that much bigger than regular.

[–]CauseItsTrue 4 points5 points ago

what if I told you regular condoms work just fine, magnums exists for self insecure beef heads who think all woman think about is the size of the package.

[–]walkinthecow 1 point2 points ago

regular condoms work just fine

Yes they do. I don't remember saying that they didn't...

[–]ioncloud9 0 points1 point ago

First time I tried to put on a regular one it was practically cutting off circulation and took me a few minutes to get it on. Magnums fit perfectly, and I wouldn't use regulars if magnums didn't exist. They are just way too unpleasant to wear.

[–]walkinthecow 0 points1 point ago

It certainly doesn't hurt when a girl sees that you have magnums, either. I was in a LTR for a long, long time, so I haven't bought condoms in ages. I've been meaning to pick some up - on the off chance that I'll ever get laid again (sure doesn't seem like it sometimes!) Anyway, I've never liked buying condoms - at least not when a woman is the cashier, and strangely enough, I think that buying Magnums is going to make me feel even more uncomfortable.

[–]idigscars 1 point2 points ago

I was actually talking to my friend about this crap. Regular condoms are too small, magnums are a bit too loose, so there needs to be a damn middle size!! "Im not going to bust your insides, but you will remember tonight size condoms"

[–]Theresapicforthat 11 points12 points ago

[–]Slayner 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit you've been busy in the last 2 days. Kudos friend I hope to be seeing more of you around.

[–]Nickdanger3rdEye 7 points8 points ago

My friend showed me pictures from when he worked in a very crappy little convience store and a bunch of white trash teens were trying on condoms and showing each other...

God I wish I could show their families those pictures.

[–]Slayner 10 points11 points ago

I guess that's just what kids these days do. Back in my day we just played dominoes, and threw rocks into the lake. DAMNED KIDS! (joking. I'm 20)

[–]Nickdanger3rdEye 2 points3 points ago

I remember the days of my youth when we would be out in the fields, pointing out what clouds looked like, and comparing the size of our willies.

[–]distopiandoormatt 6 points7 points ago

Use a changing room?

[–]ivillalobos11 11 points12 points ago

Those condom prices are too damn high!

[–]ryanottawa3 15 points16 points ago

Next time youre going passed a college or university, stop in at the health clinic. Condoms are usually free in a bowl in the lobby.

[–]Darkpro93 4 points5 points ago

I just learned something today :) Thanks!

Also, I've never been to my universities health clinic >.>

[–]Huko 5 points6 points ago

If you have a Sam's Club around, you can buy 48 pack Trojan box for 13.99$, or Durex, mine has Trojan.

[–]Pwnstar_Dancin 2 points3 points ago

Considering a 12 pack is $12.99 at shoppers right by my house. . . . I know what to add to my to buy list, when I got grocery shopping in the states.

[–]ivillalobos11 0 points1 point ago

Or planned parenthoods...

[–]EmpressFawnette 5 points6 points ago

I was thinking the exact opposite! They're nearly twice as expensive in Canada.

[–]APWTSIS 2 points3 points ago

As a Canadian, I can confirm this

[–]doctorhuh 0 points1 point ago

Its our traditionally puritanical stance on birth control I bet.

[–]metalhead4 2 points3 points ago

The teen pregnancy rate in Ontario IS TOO DAMN HIGH.

[–]APWTSIS 1 point2 points ago

I'm pro-whatever is healthiest for the mother. If the pregnancy is causing life threating sickness you should abort. You can always try again when you're healthy or try for a healthy pregnancy.

Oh wait...that's not right...it's one or the other. Fuck I'm terrible at debates :( Now I'll never get to be a member of the legislative assembly: Ward 6

[–]Pwnstar_Dancin 0 points1 point ago

Fucking shoppers. . . .$12.99 for a 12 pack

Just checked the the picture again. . . and its $5.99 for a 3 pack. . . I feel much better now . . . . also what do you need that large of a box for 3 condoms for?

[–]metalhead4 -2 points-1 points ago

Because...

[–]Pwnstar_Dancin 1 point2 points ago

That doesn't make sense. . . at all. . .

[–]metalhead4 0 points1 point ago

Sure it does. Anyone having sex isn't going to buy a $5.99 3 pack. A virgin on the other hand might be looking to score, but not willing to spend the money on a 12 pack because they probably won't all get used. 3 at least keeps the virgin ready for his chance at the cost of $5.99 but he also has the Trojan guarantee.

[–]aeronix 2 points3 points ago

Still cheaper than diapers!

[–]ivillalobos11 1 point2 points ago

And baby formula have you seen the prices on that stuff!?

[–]Throwawaychica 0 points1 point ago

Just rinse them out and reuse them, no biggie.

[–]Centreri 0 points1 point ago

Not by Manhattan standards. Dear god, these are three times cheaper than what I buy. I feel utterly ripped off now.

[–]ivillalobos11 0 points1 point ago

Oh my! Target in california a ten pack is 8 bucks! Anything higher is preposterous

[–]tofagerl 11 points12 points ago

Excuse me? I'm a little unsure if this will fit, and you look to be about my girlfriend's size - would you mind just bending over and taking your pants off so I can test this?

[–]TedFromTheFuture 2 points3 points ago

Well, if it didn't work for Will Smith...

[–]vinsite 4 points5 points ago

One time I walked into a Spencers and grabbed a "Massager" then asked the clerk where the fitting room was

[–]MrErnie 3 points4 points ago

I got some from the grocery store the other day and they were in this plastic lock box like a brand new video game would be. Very secure.

[–]AnalBurns 2 points3 points ago

The sticker has clearly been taken off and moved there.

[–]APWTSIS 0 points1 point ago

Do you really think someone would do that?

[–]AnalBurns 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]lechatron 1 point2 points ago

Kids, you haven't truly lived until someone somewhere puts up a sign because of something you did.

[–]ford_contour 0 points1 point ago

Story time: food was taking way too long at Arby's one day, so my friend takes a mint, and another, and another. He takes about one mint per minute while we wait. One mint at a time, each time with a different over-acting act of subterfuge, he nearly empties the mints bowl into his many pockets. Staff say not a word. Our food finally arrives, with no apology for ridiculous delay. We enjoy our food and leave.

Next visit to Arby's, there is a nice printed branded sign that says "Please take only one mint."

Where there are ridiculous policies, there was first a ridiculous person.

[–]11jeckley 0 points1 point ago

How do you know if it's gonna work if you can't take it for a test drive?

[–]rpecaut 1 point2 points ago

Well if the glove fits.

[–]TedFromTheFuture 2 points3 points ago

You must acquit!

[–]miraitrunks 0 points1 point ago

at the local cvs/walgreens. condoms are placed beside the line for the pharmacy now... theres even chairs!

[–]cornbread_tp 2 points3 points ago

At mine, we have a mini display next to the beer

[–]samreich 0 points1 point ago

Then how am I supposed to have safe sex at Rite Aid?

[–]namtrix 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, but if you want to see if they fit use the store's demo condom and be sure to return it.

[–]Led-Zeppelin 0 points1 point ago

It does make you wonder what the ramifications were that instilled the need for the sign.

[–]doodahdoo 0 points1 point ago

Having worked in a Boots before, I can confirm this crazy shit happens. Although, granted, I've not seen somebody try one on.

People regularly opened the box and pinched a couple; a few times we had to escort people out for taking a condom out of it's packet to see it's size.

People are weird.

[–]APWTSIS 1 point2 points ago

As a former employee of Safeway (affectionately called Slaveway by the employees), I can confirm two 14 year old boys taking a pack of condoms, opening them and strewing them through out the store. Thank god two soccer moms told us that and didn't do anything to stop the boys! (And I mean that, we could've been in more shit for that) instead, a fellow cashier and I got to go on a condom scavenger hunt.

[–]SquirrelWithAShotgun 0 points1 point ago

I remember seeing a rage comic about 5months ago about someone's dad putting a condom on his finger in a store.

[–]knockoutcharlie -1 points0 points ago

Walmart is a classy place.

[–]sgrodgers10 0 points1 point ago

I don't know about people trying them on, but at the grocery store I worked at, condom theft became a problem to the point of being put into a locked case.

[–]TheAustinKnight 1 point2 points ago

Former Walgreens employee.

Sadly, yes.

[–]emorockstar 0 points1 point ago

Read your username as Abu Ghraib 2011.

[–]icehole800 0 points1 point ago

Sadly that sign is there for a reason. Somebody some where did what the sign says not to do.

[–]brandorobot 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought they were behind a glass case. How embarrassing would that be to have to call someone over to help you out.

Especially if they had one of those buttons like in Target that alerted everyone. "Customer needs assistance in, 'condoms'. Customer needs assistance"

[–]PeanutBags 0 points1 point ago

testing if you need an xtra large...

[–]warygnu1 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this here quite a few times and I chuckle every time.

[–]Katrinatrina09 1 point2 points ago

Walgreens! Haha.

[–]xandel434 0 points1 point ago

People steal them, being ashamed and all

[–]Camel_toe_jockey 0 points1 point ago

Somebody always has to ruin it for the rest of us.

[–]Sieg67 0 points1 point ago

You would not believe how many of these I find open. Also toilet paper, diapers and canned pet food. Who the fuck would open canned pet food and not buy it? What really kills me is when they hide it and I find it days later.

I love the edit button.

[–]Mitz510 0 points1 point ago

$6!?

I payed $10 for a box of 3 at CVS.

I guess I'm gonna return them and make $4. Besides I still haven't used them.

[–]ioncloud9 0 points1 point ago

I bought them in bulk. Bought 3 boxes of 12 for dirt on amazon.

[–]MHtellsajoke 0 points1 point ago

At a Walmart in baton rouge, they're inside of plastic boxes that have to be removed by a special key at checkout.

[–]istealspoons212 0 points1 point ago

I don't know about trying them on, but at the pharmacy where I used to work, we had someone that would come in every couple of days, rip open a 12 pack of trojans and steal ONLY one, leaving the box on the shelf.

Finally, my manager was just like, "Just leave the open box out there. He can keep stealing from it, rather than us putting a new one in damages all the time."

[–]i_tired_as_well 0 points1 point ago

Weird name for condoms. Men, hiding in a something hallow to be released in a place where they wasn't suppose to be.

[–]walkinthecow 1 point2 points ago

I didn't understand a word you just said.

[–]i_tired_as_well 0 points1 point ago

Me nether. My brain must have been out of control last night.

[–]walkinthecow 0 points1 point ago

Actually, it makes more sense to me now then it did last night!!

[–]lulzmolly 0 points1 point ago

Actually yes. This is at a walgreens and at my store we ALWAYS find condoms in the bathrooms. Pretty sick.

[–]pieoncar 0 points1 point ago

A while back I bought a box of condoms from Target, and then in the car I took the box out of the bag and the box was opened. I went straight back in the store to return them. I figured it was probably an embarrassed teenager who figured stealing a single condom (or maybe a row, whatever) was a better idea than facing embarrassment or possible judgment from the cashier. But I wasn't going to risk it and use them.

[–]dan2872 0 points1 point ago

6 dollars for a three pack!? You bet your ass that's a problem!

[–]Throwawaychica 0 points1 point ago

Why don't they keep a tester out so guys can try them out before purchasing? Seems like the only logical choice.

[–]this_is_your_dad 0 points1 point ago

Yes. How "magnum" are these magnums? I'm not wasting $10.99 again.

[–]Disposable04 0 points1 point ago

Is it me or does Trojan not sell any normal condoms anymore? Everything has some type of feature. I just want normal condoms so I don't get the girl pregnant. Don't make this more complex than it needs to be, Trojan.

[–]JenniiXCore 0 points1 point ago

I like to think that rules are made after people who've done that.

[–]HauntedPockyBox 0 points1 point ago

I used to work in a walmart, and one night after the store closed I had to go over in the toy section and clean up. (It was the holiday season and you can only imagine the mess in the toy section.. It was a nightmare.) I got to the Barbies, and as I'm straightening up I noticed a condom...out of the wrapper...and it was used.

So, yes, I am not surprised about that sign.

[–]technosasquatch 0 points1 point ago

walgreens: where only the insane shop

[–]the_floodxwhite 0 points1 point ago

Well, It is Walgreens

[–]defcon_clown 0 points1 point ago

I work at a grocery store. This has happened to us. The guy took them in the bathroom but he still tried on the damn things.

Another time we caught a guy tasting condoms from four different boxes.

[–]strikerouge 0 points1 point ago

In a lot of low-income communities, they will actually have condoms behind glass.

[–]1nspect_Her_Gadget -1 points0 points ago

nope...but this picture HAS been posted before.

[–]JoeNeedsAUsername 0 points1 point ago

everyone steals condoms so the opening package is actually a good warning, but trying them on....

[–]turtleneal 0 points1 point ago

At the Safeway near my house, they have to sell the condoms from behind the customer service desk because "frat guys come in here and steal one condom from the box and leave".

[–]HarlequinGirl1357 0 points1 point ago

Only at Walmart

[–]dinogirl42 1 point2 points ago

This is from a walgreens. It's sad that I can identify that.

[–]practeerts 0 points1 point ago

I can confirm this. If I'm not mistaken this is in a nashville location. My best guess is Donelson pike or Bordeaux area.

[–]dinogirl42 5 points6 points ago

I work at a Walgreens in WI. They all look alike.

[–]practeerts 0 points1 point ago

Pretty much, but I saw that sign recently in a store I was remodeling. It could possibly be a corporate sign batch though. It wouldn't surprise me.

[–]cornbread_tp 0 points1 point ago

No, corporate batches have better punctuation. My guess would be that someone got tired of straightening flips for an hour after people tried them on all day

[–]Thatboringbrownguy -1 points0 points ago

According to my girlfriend who works at Payless Shoe Source, transvestites come in and jerk off into shoes. Which she finds constantly. Good day!

[–]Captain-Kenneth 1 point2 points ago

In what universe is that a thing anyone would like to do? Let alone something continuously repeated by one specific demographic?! I don't understand the world. Bloody shoe wankers.

[–]PhantomSwagger 1 point2 points ago

Turns out fetishes exist.

[–]yaktoleft13 0 points1 point ago

6 dollars for 3 condoms? Screw it, I'm going in raw
