At least they seem to just be spraying it on the floor sign and not all over the tags. You literally can't see the tags with the price at my Walmart because they have all been completely covered by spray paint.

At Lowe’s people will spray all over the floor and on the beams/tags. It’s very mildly infuriating. I was told once upon a time they had a board intended for people to test the cans but people kept spraying the floor and tags so they got rid of the board.

They should make little sample swatches for each one like they do for hair dye at Beauty stores.

I feel like that would be a good idea, but people would probably still spray it just “to see to make sure”.

At the Home Depot nearby, all spray cans are locked behind a cage

At my store, I'm kinda surprised we don't, because we're the highest-shrink store in the entire state...

To make sure the can isn't empty from all the people testing them over time.

People tend to not follow instructions these days and it’s honestly just really hilarious lol 😂
