Go Home Already: Sexy Back

What!? You spend a bazillion dollars to go to a school and you can't get free condoms from the health center....Leave the CVS alone!...or do what everyone else does, buy them online.
Being a former G-duber, I don't know what's so hard about asking to unlock the condom case. With all the conceited people there who have no shame treating people like crap, I don't understand why they have any shame asking for condoms.
Besides, condoms are practically free. My memory is hazy, but I swear that there were GW-branded condoms floating around out there.
It's a public health issue, period. As easy as it is to project some kind of selfish, lazy, entitled attitude onto these kids, what they're doing benefits everyone, not just themselves.
Can we unlock the soap too? Seriously.
My office is near GW and I've never had to ask an employee for condoms (which I buy at CVS).
When I worked at a grocery store, we had to stop selling birth control since it was always being stolen. Keeping condoms under lock and key is a sensible way for people to get their rubbers while limiting the damage to CVS's bottom line.
I feel like I can't shop at CVS without getting one of their employees to follow me around with a key:
razors?
soap?
condoms?
the real medicine that works when you have a cold?
But good luck finding an employee with time to unlock stuff for you. The few there are trying to help check people out.
Why haven't other stores locked everything up? I know I can get soap at safeway without a key.
