shoplifting is racist too.
Exactly.
I’m guessing the black hair care products are stolen on a regular and routine basis.
That’s funny
It’s called “shrinkage”, like that old Seinfeld episode.
They keep Sudafed and other narcotics behind lock and key too..I guess release everything so all the looters can just steal whatever they want
I recall seeing black hair care products being locked up or behind counters since the 60s. The stores were always in black dominated, and poor, neighborhoods. When I asked why, I was told because the items would get stolen otherwise. .... This from a store owner who was black......in a black neighborhood.
I’ll give you odds that there weren’t many pairs of work boots taken by the looters.
Years ago, I was in an inner city store. Target, IIRC. It was in the summer. My girlfriend needed something and that store was the only one in the state apparently that had what she was looking for. We were the only white people in the store and it was fairly busy. Never felt threatened in anyway but I was thinking about my CJ parked out on the street the whole time.
Anyway, it was summer and an afternoon thunderstorm came rolling in. We were up near the registers when there was a clap of thunder and the power went out in the store. Immediately, the metal gates came down over the front doors and the manager and a couple of security guys went to the gate with a couple of bins.
They opened the gate and as everybody exited the store, they searched each and every person and deposited the items in the bins. I was stunned as I watched them pull items from a couple of older women and virtually every young male had something to put in the bins. The way the manager and security reacted, haha, it was like standard operating procedure. Just hand it over and be on your way. Amazing...
The rule is that the owner has the right to refuse service to anyone... even looters who, if the products are not locked up— will steal the items, and never pay for them. Truth be told... Wal-Mart has the data points to support this. That is to say— why would a white customer steal hair products designed and intended for black customers (unless they were gf or bf or married to a black).
This is now getting into areas in which government should have absolutely NO legal say at all. Period.
Claritin has been under lock and key for years.
