Walmart will no longer place “multicultural hair care and beauty products” in locked cases in any of its stores, the company confirmed Wednesday.
The practice, which Walmart says was only in place “in about a dozen” of its 4,700 U.S. stores, has received criticism for the implication that the customers who buy these products, largely people of color, can’t be trusted. The cases must be unlocked by a store associate, and the products are usually then taken to the front of the store for purchase.
They will be stolen.
Yup.
Wally doesn’t care.
Shrinkage losses are tax deductible.
We need to change that.
Raise prices to compensate for the increased inventory shrinkage.
Please keep us updated.
“””Walmart will stop putting ‘multicultural’ products in locked cases””””””””””””””
That’s mighty white of them.
Walmart deserves everything coming to it.
The morons should have made it available online. obama kids dont have any money anyway..
These things don’t happen randomly. They were secured because they WERE stolen. The others were not... for the opposite reason.
Y’mean color inkjet printer cartridges?
“compensate for the increased inventory shrinkage.”
They’ll have to raise prices on “white” products, too.
Idiots. I’ve seen the technique. Walk up to a self-checkout registers. Scan and bag all of the items. Attempt to pay, but clearly don’t provide a suitable payment. Kind of look around. Cancel the transaction. Pick up the bag(s), pull out a receipt from your pocket, casually walk around like you are looking for something, and then head out the door. Saw this happen clearly three times back in California. Two black males and one black female.
Walmart locks up their game cameras too.
I feel so disrespected.
Where do I sue?
They’ll have to raise prices on “white” products, too.
What does it matter even if they steal all of the products? With no police, who is going to stop anyone from stealing?
From what I recall, *all* small beauty products were behind locked cases at Walmart. We know why they did this, but I thought they were trying to treat everyone the same by locking up small beauty items that were easily placed in a pocket or purse.
Walgreens locks up Tide Pods.
This is laugh out loud funny. I did loss prevention for Walmart and if you wanted a few quick stops the “ethnic” section was always easy pickings. BTW, I overheard a lady complain about calling it the “ethnic section.” Racist dontcha know. She was going to call “her” president and complain.
This won’t last long, they will just stop carrying them
