The thought of not having testers and hygiene supplies near the makeup at Target, Rite Aid etc is disgusting to me. And I get twice as grossed out when I see people buying things that have been opened and used because they think it can just be wiped off. Or people testing everything and then putting it back when it's not what they're looking for. Subpar ingredients and packaging that look and feels cheap. I know not everybody can afford designer makeup, but I know that corporations can afford to make quality products and maintain low prices, and I also know that retailers (Target, Wal-Mart, CVS etc) can afford to supply testers and hygiene supplies to their consumers for their satisfaction and protection.

I'd rather spend $40 on my foundation and know that it matches my skin and hasn't been fucked with at the store than to go to Target and guess a shade, grab a foundation that someone's fingers have been in, and go home and hope to god it works and I didn't just waste $6.

Wal-mart does have testers, at least for all the brands that will supply them with testers anyway. Maybelline, Cover Girl, N.Y.C., Rimmel, L'oreal, Revlon, they all have testers. The only one I can think of that doesn't is Physician's Formula. People steal the testers a lot of the time just because they're the easiest to grab while passing by the shelf, but as soon as new testers come in they go back out on the shelves.
