Black people continue to be criminalized for just being in the U.S. of A.

A California woman says she is suing Walmart for discrimination after saying that the mega-retailer locked its African American hair and skin products behind glass at a California store. Moreover, the woman said she was walked by an employee to the register to pay for her products once she chose them.

So she's saying all that shit about "hispanics" while decrying Walmart's "racism" for locking up black hair care products? A bit ironic.

I wonder if the "blacks can't be racist" rule applies when it's directed at other non-white races such as in this case, or only when it's directed toward white people.

It shows groups like The Root's true colors (no pun intended) that they despise every other race. I think that rule also applies to the races that are lower on the progressive stack.

As someone who works in retail, we lock shit up become people fucking steal it. High theft items vary by location obviously, but in my area the List of Shit We Can't Put on the Floor Because Assholes Steal It includes:
1) Baby formula
2) Tide cleaning pods (ironically we were doing this before idiots started eating them)
3) Dove body wash
4) Fidget spinners
5) Condoms / Pregnancy tests and
6) Five hour energy

Funny enough, it's only the Tide and Dove we have to keep behind the counter. People don't steal the other brands nearly as much. The reason Wal-Mart keeps those beauty products locked up is become people will steal that shit then go sell it the the black beauty parlors as "stuff that fell off the truck".
 
I know a dollar store that locks their products behind a glass.(shampoo, conditioner,liquid laundry detergent) you also had to ask for the key to the bathroom.
 
I've been to Perris many times. It's a shithole. Crimes happen there all the time. If you're living in Perris, it's because you've fucked up, tbqh.

One guess as to the demographics of the neighborhood this store is located in.

They use Tide detergent to buy drugs. Everyone needs to do their laundry so it has a use value. People steal it and get drugs with it. It's pretty funny. It's just in Chicago I think though.

Some people try to counterfeit Tide detergent and sell it too.

As a person who wastes tons of money on makeup or beauty supplies- some things are REALLY expensive. Especially the good supplies. Now I haven't seen stuff get locked up, but they do have one person at a separate desk who is there just to ring up that stuff. When that person is there, they prefer it if you buy it at that one desk.
And yes, at every store like Wal-Mart or Target, there are certain things that get locked away.

What's funny is when I was working the counter at the cosmetics floor, when the stock is considered discontinued, the security would grab all the $100+ pefumes and makeup, and smash them before throwing them away so nobody could resell them. You'd surprised how much how cheap they are to actually manufacture, you are really paying for the brand name.

One time I almost got some 20 dollar hair spray but was like, fuck this, I'll just a 4 dollar spray that is just as strong.
 
Your walmart store is a sample size of the lowest common denominator in your community. If your local walmart is locked up to the dickens, you live near a crappy area and should focus on moving.
 
I hate customers like this. The only people whining about lockup items are the ones who already have 300 dollars worth of stolen shit shoved in their baby stroller.
