Thankfully this crap only happens in BLUE STATES. No way a Red State, like Texas, would permit it.
So nothing to worry about here!
“Most clothing stores I know put men’s and women’s underwear in more discrete locations. Walmart and warehouse stores can provide lower prices because they are set up to handle high volume sales to give those prices. If someone doesn’t like how Walmart sets up their stores, either live with it or buy somewhere else.”
In my local Wal-mart, the young girl’s underwear has always been placed near the adult women’s underwear and nowhere near the adult men’s clothing and certainly not near the grocery store aisles. It has been done in such a way for the decades since the first store was built in my area. And, it’s been that way in every Walmart I’ve visited in other states.
I know because it makes such items easy to locate if traveling and find a need to purchase them for grand-daughters. I always know right where to go and have never missed immediately finding what I need right where I thought they would be. Young girl’s underwear has always been somewhere between the pj’s for girls and underwear for adults.
Someone in upper management has apparently decided to change the store layout in regards to young girl’s underwear locations.
Never assume there is an innocent reason for such a change in store layout. Retail never changes store lay-out unless they are pushing to the forefront certain items.
Because women do a lot of the family shopping, so that placement is not to aid perverts but to encourage wives and moms to restock basic necessities for all members of the family. Everything isn’t about voyeurism.
I’ve never seen a guy leering in the ladies’ aisles, and who cares about the food area? What can one really see from the vegetable aisle? Overthinking at its worst!
What 10 to 12 year old young girl wants to be seen looking at those items near anyone at all? Much less to be seen by men nearby looking at a pair of jeans, or the three teen boys walking down the chips and dips aisle in the grocery section?
With corporations going all in on the sexualization of children, I wouldn't doubt this is a deliberate action on the part of retail corporations.
Lol.. I thought I had seen that somewhere before!
no telling if it’s wally? or a woke store mgr...
So do I.
Boys, girls...what’s the difference these days?
Nope. WalMart layout is designed to maximize sales. The kind of creeps that you are worried about will find the ladies underwear section no matter where it is in the store.
I understand there isn't a square inch of those stores that doesn't have a surveillance camera looking at it. If you really need something to worry about, think about the unisex open topped dressing rooms that are at most WalMarts.
It is indeed not nice.
What is worst, is WalMart has gone to single dressing rooms. Guess where they ALWAYS are?
Right up at the bras.
So I have to send my son past the bras to try things on.
I hate these people.
But then, in the old days we had REAL department stores where they were separated. It’s too expensive to have walls and stuff, you know.
Funny you mention dressing rooms.
I just mentioned in my 51 how I hate they always had them next to/pass through the BRAS.
sorry, that’s just wrong.
I have to disagree with you there.
In can't count the number of times I'm looking for something and finally have to ask someone for help locating it and wondering what someone was thinking when they put stuff where it is.
Matter of fact, one of the local W-M's here in NH is apparently one of the stores where they test different product layouts as told me by an employee of that store who was helping me find something.
They’re just trying to make it easier for transvestites to shop. Nothing to blow a fuse over.
It’s a walmart. NOT the Biden White House. You’re safe girls.
I am upset I have to go through men’s socks and underwear next to the women’s underwear section. They are endcap displays that managers just put where there is room.
I just can’t stand shopping largely because enough people and their kids are so self centered obnoxious and oblivious to others, I just want to get my stuff quickly and leave that environment.
I do not shop at places like Target or Walmart precisely because of the people that frequent there. Its an unpleasant shopping experience and I don’t need it. Its also the same reasons I don’t go to movie theaters as well. You can’t enjoy a movie anymore. Enough people do not parent kids and lack self control now, its a waste of time and money.
I have found much better places to shop.
It would never have occurred to me that this is an issue. Last time I bought undies, I just walked into the store, looked for a packet, then took it to the cashier. I didn’t even notice what section the undies were next to, much less cared.
WalMart does not have changing rooms? I did not know that!
The “food” section? Subway? It’s at the front of the store and nobody eats there.
But if they did, it would be cruel to force them to see typical Walmart shoppers looking at underwear.
When the grandchildren were smaller, my wife could not get past the toddler outfits to see if there was something new for the kids.
