Do people really think this has anything to do with race? Big retail stores lock up items that have a tendency to walk off the shelf.
Instead of being mad at the company and calling it racist, how about being mad at the people who steal the product often enough that the store had to make changes in how they offer it???
Because that would require liberals to hold thieves responsible for their actions. And you know....it’s always someone else’s fault.
It has everything to do with RACE actually. This is common around here in many stores, people have just grown to tolerate and accept it.
Many of our stores that happen to be in mainly 'black' parts of town, have VERY high security, most have full bullet proof glass surrounding the cashiers station, many 'high theft' items are kept behind the counter, and not out on the sales floor, but stores in 'nice upper class white areas', have none of this security.
Our stores in the upper class white areas are held up frequently too, but you will never see the type of security measures put in that stores in black areas have.

If something that white people bought was always getting stolen it would be locked up too. Stop making up excuses for thieves.

I’ve never quite understood the practice, it’s not as if they make you purchase the item immediately.
People can still shop lift the items, irregardless if they pull it off the shelf or a store employee does.

If the store is in a 'middle to upper class white area'...NO, the products are not locked up.
It all depends on where the store is located. In general, the same products are stolen, no matter where the store is, but there is a huge difference in how the stores deal with it.
I worked in retail , lots of perfumes were behind glass doors , but the doors were never locked customers could slide Them open and help themselves and bring them to the register .
Most things stolen in retail stores are pregnancy kits anyhow , young girls embarrassed to pay at the register , plus someone they know might see them in line .

Walmart usually locks up the stuff most stolen based on inventory counts.

They do lock up some products whites go for.
Baby formula is a big one.
