This is a perfect example of policies being too lax (sleep here all day, go through trash, whatever!) until the inevitable harsh over correction.

Curious who made this call and why…if I had to guess it’s similar to why some theft prone Walgreens have security guards that don’t stop you from stealing - theft insurance requires a guard but liability insurance does not want that guard to lay a finger on anyone. This is Grand Central’s version of deodorant locked behind plastic.
