in a personal anecdote:
on certain Lufthansa and Swiss First flights
in the lavatory one may find La Praeri Handcream (retails around €80)
flights to a certain country in the northern eastern sphere,
see before landing and securing cabin, both flasks taken,
by women whose faces have been so tightly pulled, it makes Cher look natural!
most likely for home consumption.....
Lufthansa thought to be smart and removed the screw cap,
Because the thought is whom is going to carry a tube that can squirt!
The same with the Business Class lotion/scents in the Singapore Airlines lavatories, all screw caps are removed to reduce % of it being stolen....
About the sign:
So nothing about used toiletries for sale or such !
I know some real tacticians who have turned to bringing reusable toiletry bottles with them to fill up from the full sized Le Labo or Aesop lotion bottles they encounter.
I recall attending an event at a Fairmont a few years ago and some people swiped up all the mini Le Labo Rose 31 lotion bottles from the public restrooms. A few years later I'm back at the same Fairmont and now they carry generic soaps and hand lotions in the public restrooms.
