Walmart is associated with conservatives so the liberals want to put them out of business so they can have the land for Democrat real estate investment deals.
Good point. There must be a good reason why Walmart sees the need to secure these particular products ... or else, why do it?
reallY?! Now that’s just stupid... no one is going to ask to get the case of rubbers open, they can just go to a gas station and buy them.
Maybe hookers steal them!
The Walmarts with predominantly minority customers lock up the things being stolen from that store just as the Walmarts with predominantly white customers lock up the things being stolen from that store.
Guess what’s being stolen from the Walmarts with predominantly minority customers?
Minority hair care products.
They don’t need to lock up minority hair care products at the Walmarts with predominantly white customers because, well, the predominantly white customers aren’t stealing minority hair care products.
Walmart isn’t the problem in this instance.
Women shoplift way more than men.

At my Walmart they only check the receipt if you have unbagged items. If everything is in a bag they just say to have a nice day.
To get around this they had the entire beauty section cordoned with a scanner you had to walk through to get in and out. You had to pay for anything from that area before you left.
This is very simple. Retail theft is not prosecuted in many states. Also, the police are trained as to what/whom to pursue. Watch the retail stores burn once again when the weather improves.
Therefore, Walmart has to do what is appropriate for thier business model.
Why? Right at the beginning you stated you wouldn't be going back to that store, so what's the point?
As a native from Centennial, this community could hardly be more white. IF there was/is a discriminatory policy at that store, it was certainly derived from an outside area where the demographic is has proven cause.
In downtown DC at the CVS type stores anything worth more than 1.00 is locked up behind glass.
You really think she thought that far ahead? 8~)
One place we lived wanted ID to purchase super glue, spray paints, etc..
It sounds disgusting, but sadly, this store seems to be giving a tacit acknowledgement of higher crime rates within the Black community.
Star Parker and Thomas Sowell would be their guiding lights in a sane world, not Al Shaprton and Je$$e Jackson.
My Food Lion has larger bottles of Advil gel caplets locked in their little cases. I guess some folks looooooove them some Advil. Can that be used to make meth?
Yes, to get an apology from corporate. I’d rather have somebody pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
Has anyone asked (axed?) for the DATA behind the devision? If the data say blacks steal substantially more hair products than non bkacks, it is not a stereotype, it is a trend.
WM should just stop carrying these products if the theft rate makes them unprofitable.

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...
You are right about not carrying high-theft items...Hard to be profitable when localities have decriminalized shoplifting. All of which means that other law-abiding shoppers are footing the bill for what is stolen.
i believe that is true- but i think it is even split among under 20’s.
I was in a Wal Mart and actually saw a major theft. It shocked me. The cashier was in on it, and it involved the shopper putting the clothes on the belt and the cashier just shoving the stuff in bags and handing it over. Must have been $300 worth of items. OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO CHECK YOUR RECEIPT AT THE DOOR!
When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans they brought many of the people here.
For the first time ever Walmart had to lock down the store as so many items were being stolen when the bus load of Katrina refugees hit the isles.
At the camp where they stayed, the police had to put guards around “to prevent outsiders(whites) from harassing the people.”
Actually it was to prevent wife beating and problems WITHIN the camp.
