Shoplifters made me grow a beard

Thanks to the efforts of nimble-fingered criminals, razor-blades is no longer available in any shops.
Instead you have to queue up to a special counter where your money is carefully screened under a special ultraviolet lamp.
If your currency is deemed legal tender, they will send a guy over to the central vault to retrieve a packet of five razor-blades, so that you, twenty minutes later and with no dignity left, can walk out of the shop, ready to give that stubble the boot.

Naturally, I refuse to undergo this humiliating process.
I will therefore remain bearded until I find an outlet where frequent five-finger discounts haven’t made the legitimate purchase of male grooming articles impossible.
