I guess the cost of shoplifting is less than the cost of looting, not that his will prevent looting. NYC has something called the mafia tax. I guess this is sort of like that. too bad. |

Hopefully white people will respect the BLM movement and stop stealing this stuff.. I know its middle aged, white men, who are gun owners doing this.

Quoted: Soon, Walmart will quietly pull the stuff from the shelves altogether. View Quote Or put all similar products in a locked case. I wonder if this will also impact store specific cases? At the store by where I work, shaving cartridges are in a locked case - by where I live, they aren't. |

Does Walmart sell Hennessy? (in states where liquor is allowed in big box stores)

We are now living in fantasy land. Facts and reality are no longer acceptable. All of this bullshit pandering and virtue signalling will do nothing to stop the problem. It will only embolden the perpetrators to commit more crime and get away with it.

Quoted: Yes, but they'll distribute that cost increase across all other products, so we'll be subsidizing it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: They're just going to factor in a 50%+ theft rate to pricing. Yep. The specific item will not jump in price. Putting a $7.50 white man item next to a $15.00 black mans. Or woman’s. See how that works out. Everyone would go nuts. And off the item was stolen before, at $7.50, why would they start buying at $15.00? The stores will factor losses in to the price of all goods. Walmart will let blacks steal before pointing out that blacks steal. It’s just good virtue signaling. And good virtue signaling is good for business. |

Systemic fraud/crime is what we have, since the system allows for it under the guise of anti-racism.
|

They do that even in the nice neighborhoods around here, its storewide policy I would guess. Same with locking up cell phone cases. its just virtue signalling, they will just not rebuild or build in the inner city any more so its all just BS anyhow.

There is a reason the Hennessy and Alize are kept under lock and key.
|
|
that's cool. They'll just raise the prices elsewhere to offset the monumental financial losses in theft. Easy Peasy.

Quoted: That is how the Walmart nearest my house is. Basically anything small and of higher value is under lock and key or in controled entry/exit parts of the store. Cosmetics are all in an area with their own way in/out. Meds are all under lock and key.

They don’t keep baby formula drugs razors batteries behind the counter and those are high theft items. Sounds dumb locking them up in the first place

They just need to do as Costco does with high-value-density items. You take a token placard or empty box to pay at the checkout, then retrieve your paid for item in another area. Duty free stores have been doing this for decades. It’s a very exclusive and elegant way to shop (LOL).

I'm going to laugh when they stop carrying them altogether.
No point in stocking a product you can't make money on. |

In our walmart (really rural area), right when you walk in the Cosmetics/Hair dye aisle, there is a cam facing both ways and it says you are being monitored.
I can't remember if any of the hair care stuff ethnic or not it locked up in those security boxes. I know I picked up a bottle of Eternity Cologne yesterday and it was in one of those. The cashier could not even figure out how to open it. |

Fantastic.
Now everyone else will have to pay higher prices for the items that aren't frequently stolen to subsidize the products with high shrinkage. |

Quoted: Or put all similar products in a locked case. I wonder if this will also impact store specific cases? At the store by where I work, shaving cartridges are in a locked case - by where I live, they aren't. View Quote It comes down to shrink per item, and the cost. They will likely use a cost based model for cosmetics instead of category and per item shrink basis to decide what to lock up, to prevent theft of the higher end ethnic products. They may also lock up all cosmetics, especially in higher theft areas. |

The stores actually track losses and put products under than glass based on the math.
Locally the liquor store has some brands behind the counter while the rest sit out. It's not always the most valuable liquor but the "popular" stuff. The local grocery store puts baby formula behind the glass. They had Tide Pods locked up too for months but later were released for time served. But math is racist. |

View Quote In this case, apparently facts are overridden by feelings. Will the next demand be to remove the shoplifting sensors or anti-theft packaging placed on high theft items? |

These people don't want to be treated equal. They want to be able to commit crimes with impunity.

Seeing items "locked up" is known to cause PTSD in certain shopper demographics.
I think I see where WM is going with this - and I applaud their progressive retail presentation. |

All those guilt ridden suburban white women are going to see a price increase in their beauty products as Walmart factors theft loss across all beauty products.
Much manager speaking to they will do. |

They could make reparations by just giving it to "multicultural" customers.

View Quote Which one is stolen at an exponentially higher rate? I used to work retail. Black focused health care products were stolen at 10x the rate of others. |

Numbers be racist, history be racist, not kneeling is racist... it's all so tiresome. You can't appease these people.
