They used to call this “knowing the customer”.

That’s because they “walk off” so readily.

Not racist; reality.

isn’t it cultural mis-appropriation to straighten your hair like a “white person”?

I’s say that they are so valuable that we lock them up to keep the white folk from stealing them.

At the CVS, in my lily white town, they lock up the perfume. It’s a product centered loss prevention policy.

Not locked up in our Walmart here in the South. Must be a huge shoplifting problem in that particular Walmart.

Many CVS pharmacies lock up the Sudafed because it’s used in making meth..is that racist? Gee everything to these people is racist, yet at many colleges blacks want segregation, want their own dorms, etc is that OK

There is an easy response, stop selling hair care products that get stolen.

Try to find a supermarket in Detroit.Can’t lock up the food. The entire store is a loss leader in that environment.

Let’s see... Either Walmart was desperately trying to signal that they are racist... Or, they were forced to take extraordinary measures out of necessity. I think the latter, because well... I have a brain.
