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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Automotive chemicals are locked

Stores do extensive research into loss due to theft. If they locked the stuff up, there was a reason for it.

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).

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.

No. They will just budget a loss amount and  restock at that level. When it's gone, it's gone until the next allocation. No need to meet demand by keeping an item in stock at a loss, but you need to create the illusion  that you keep it in stock.

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.

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?
