It is make-up, but mainly hair products I think.
they ought to add a nominal cost of business fee to each bottle of shampoo.
**********
I’d bet money that is already added in
some form as a cost of doing business.
I have been to 2 large super markets, in a crappy part of town. The have the booze separated from the rest of the store and you have to pay for it in that area. I ask the clerk and she told me scum bags would come in take a bottle and chug it, before they moved it to the separate area. Nice.
Solution. Stop stocking the stuff.
Let black stores carry it.
People of Color™ = Approved!
Untrue
ALL products have added costs due to ‘shrink’. Walmart is just so big nobody notices.
At my drugstore you have to ask for them at the drug counter. One night I had a date and stopped to get a couple of condoms, I paid them just picked them up to leave and the druggest asked don’t you need a bag? I said nah she’s ain’t bad looking...
And why would the store go through all that effort, unless there had been a major problem with losses of said items? Don't like it, don't shop there. And lean on your acquaintances and raise your kids to not take what is not paid for.
An opportunity for black entrepreneurs to open black-oriented specialty shops to sell the items that Walmart drops.
Do you live near an old folks home? There could be a good black market for arthritis pills.
LOL. I would’ve gotten out my phone and started filming this incident. Just for grins. Just to see what those characters would do about it.
Filthadelphia ... it ain’t just a play on words.
“I have heard that only a small percentage of WalMart theft is from customers. Most of the thieves are the employees.”

Walmart closed a store in Homer, LA about 20 years ago for this very reason. We all would be amazed at how much lower prices would be if there was no “inventory shrinkage” at all stores. “Inventory shrinkage” includes loss from theft for whatever reason.
I remember that store. Homer is about a 45 minute drive from Ruston.

And post a sign saying as much.
>>Highly doubt it is about the race of the shopper. They are simply requiring immediate purchase of the products that are highly pilfered...I suspect a Caucasian buying one of the targeted high-theft item would have to pay at the special register as well<<
I don’t know about you, but I, as a white male, cannot make it through the week without my Afro-Sheen.
Of COURSE the issue s/b with the product and not the buyer (which is what I understood from the article). In this case the products are black-oriented. In my WM a few years ago they started locking up Similac and requiring a clerk to open it. I do not know why but from watching TV, it is also prevalent in black households.
Bottom line: WM will not tolerate net loss. The data for the products just say they are stolen more. The fact they happen to be for blacks is just fodder for the race pimps.
Yep, it’s a sure-nuff mystery! In Chicago, retailers weren’t allowed to sell spray paint at all, not even from a locked case. Folks would drive over the border into Indiana to buy it. I believe that policy may have changed since then . . .
>>An opportunity for black entrepreneurs to open black-oriented specialty shops to sell the items that Walmart drops.<<
And for only 3 times the price WM would have charged!
Such a shop would probably opened by Koreans. No joke.
