Walmart will stop putting ‘multicultural’ products in locked cases
cnbc ^

Posted on 06/10/2020 5:51:48 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

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.

All WalMart has to do is raise their prices on “multicultural products” to cover their losses from theft.

What these idiots don’t seem to understand is that if a dishonest person steals it, you, the honest person, can’t buy it. So, go ahead and get those products out in the open and you can buy them the same time I buy Lysol.

I’ll be satisfied if they don’t kowtow to BLM.

They might as well mark them FREE. No Wal-Mart clerk is going to confront a black shoplifter. They will just stand at the door and say, “Have a nice day, Sir! or Ma’am!”

I felt as though I was being treated like a thief, when I’ve never stolen anything in my life.


Lets stop and think about that. It is an emotional response. I have had the same reaction and would suspect many others here have also.

I have to wear a damn mask because of some idiot..............

there are many examples if you think about it.

Now for you and me it is not a race issue. It is SOME DAMN IDIOT THAT CAUSED A PROBLEM and we live with it but grumble.

Too many think it is a race issue because that is what they are told and they believe it.

Inventory loss...I think that’s what they call it or something like that.

New complaint: blacks are disproportionately arrested for shoplifting at Walmart stores.

“Implication”.

Yeah, that’s the wrong word, for sure.

I would suggest “recognition” instead.

Great. Can we do nicotine gum next. I find it highly annoying to have to go find someone to unlock the case for me. And discriminatory against the ex

To steal a line from 5 years ago during the Baltimore riots (wish I could recall who said it here):

No need to lock up Fathers Day cards in the stationary department.

They’ll just raise prices on all other hair care products to cover the losses due to shoplifting. I don’t shop there but now I never will.
