- One Twitter user noticed the policy, where the meat substitute is sealed in a plastic container at the Duane Reade inside the Port Authority bus depot
- While this is not a city-wide policy or one maintained by every Duane Reade in the city, other products are often locked up at other locations
- One employee at the Duane Reade in Times Square on West 44th Street said that they lock up ice cream
- Many blame everything from 9.1 percent inflation to a spike in crime of 37 percent across the Big Apple
- Some found it amusing or even insulting that the cheap cans of Spam and Starkist Tuna would be protected
- New York City Mayor Eric Adams has promised New Yorkers time and time again that he will crack down on crime and even ran his election campaign on it
