Razors, jewelry, x box games, perfumes are also locked up. It's not a racial thing, it's called loss prevention. Looking for 15 min of fame. Stay in school kids.

Did you see that is certain products ?
-
Yes. Trojan, Vagisil, Clinical Strength Ban & Secret are also behind glass. Let me guess only the white population use these products?
-
Included on that list is Sudafed, Zyrtec-D etc. when is the meteor going to stop trying to attract headlines with absurdities. Stop giving voice to nonsense.

I think prejudice & discrimination should be handled swiftly & without excuses. But this just isn't the case here.
-
I agree. I guess one has to work retail to understand.

The most petty of things I’ve seen. People just looking for reasons to sue and get rich. Make everything a race issues they say, it will be easy they say..
-
It’s not a petty thing. It’s a racial micro aggression. It’s a message reinforcing the belief that Black people steal and stores are at risk from them. What do you believe that does to the psyche of a person of color?
-
It can also be because those products are high theft.

Easily remedied, shop at Black owned beauty supply businesses!! Let the products be. Wal Mart shelves get dusty and expire!!

The only products that get locked up are the ones that usually get stolen a lot. Instead of screaming ‘racist’ at everything, maybe look at it from the stores POV. They lose money on those items. Preventing theft isn’t racist.

Walmart, and most other stores lock up things that are regularly a target of theft. And honestly, what’s considered “African American” personal care products?
-
According to the article, all the products “targeted at African Americans” were locked up. If they had locked up everything that’d be fine. But to have stuff only targeted at blacks behind glass by order of Corporate? That’s when it becomes racist.

My Target locks Olay Regenerist products behind plexiglass. Apparently, old ladies steal.

I’m shocked at the level of virulence people are spewing at her. She’s not asking for millions of dollars, only $4k + to be heard. Nowhere did the article provide loss rates or prove those items are stolen more often. Requiring escort to register to buy $0.48 comb? Humiliating.
-
What you stated is what people do not get ... it would be interesting to see the loss analysis and where these locked items fit in the spectrum of 'high' dollar loss - cease giving your money to institutions that disregard and disrespect you
-
My thoughts exactly. It’s hard to believe that it is in anyone’s interest to lock up these relatively low-cost items. Time = money and this is a waste of staff and consumers’ time. Sounds like racial profiling based on prejudicial, location-based corporate management policy.

What's the reason they're getting locked up? CAUSE THEYRE GETTING STOLEN.

And men's cologne is locked up too. Should I go after Wal-Mart for discriminating against men?
