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.
Well, I've never seen testers at any of the drugstore brands in my area, until recently. There are testers for the Jemma Kid/Napoleon etc products at the new Super Target, but there are no hygiene supplies for people to try them with, like lipgloss wands or q-tips, or alcohol to sanitize the lipsticks and liners before trying them. So even if there is a tester, they're still unsanitary. Sorry, the whole idea still grosses me out. I don't even use the testers at my store, and I know they're pretty clean because I clean them.
