Oh, NOW I get it.
An APOLOGY.

They should have a separate aisle dubbed the Steal Me First aisle.
This is the first time I ever heard of a different set of beauty products for black people. I guess I’m just an ignorant guy but are lipsticks and makeup different for black people?
Another example of an obvious truth that everyone is afraid to say. These products are stolen at a higher rate than other products. Must be a bunch of Whiteys who steal them and blame non-Whiteys.
I noticed the other day tha our WM has locked up the condoms. How many guys would pass up buying them if they had to ask a clerk for help?
This should make more business for Planned Parenthood.
This not unusual and has happened to me on many occasions. I am not black or a minority unless being Italian makes me one.
I understand the reasoning for this and I was not offended in the least. People steal and theft is a major detriment to the bottom line of these for profit businesses and they need to control it.
Walmart is not the only retail store to control access to black cosmetics in this way and the reason is obvious. These items are stolen more often by blacks than other merchandise.
Message to blacks here is if you want to be treated like everyone else then act like everyone else and quit whining when you are called out and held accountable for your actions.
>>Facts and statistics are racist, don’tcha know?<<
Truer words were never spoken.
They make you do the same when you buy ammo. Pay in sporting goods. There was rarely a line, so I started paying for everything there. Then just waltz past the line on the way out.
If Walmart is not allowed to watch their products in order to keep black people from shoplifting them, then they ought to add a nominal cost of business fee to each bottle of shampoo.
An extra five dollars for instance. And yes I know, that’s racist as well.
Better yet, just stop selling the crap.
Different skin tones might make a difference. I think it’s mostly hair care products.
” If the data say blacks steal substantially more hair products than non bkacks, it is not a stereotype, it is a trend.”
Yes it is. I have a bud who is a store director for Target. They know. It’s not only hair products. it’s EVERYTHING they can get their hands on. It got so bad at the knapsack section, they had to seal the zipper with ziplock as a countermeasure but annoys actual buyers who want to see the inside. That wasn’t his idea. The chief of security’s idea from Target HQ.
Shut up, nagger. Shouldn’t have been part of a culture that honors shoplifters and thieves.
Definitely the hair care products are different due to hair texture. I think that’s what this article is about though it’s not entirely clear.
Honestly, I agree with Rachel on this. I have seen many stores where products are in a plexiglass cage and you need to get an attendant to open the cage. Many of the items in the cage are smaller sized and easier to stash inside clothing so I am okay with this, however the idea of forcing someone to buy a product right away - regardless of their race - is just not good service. A better anti-theft method needs to be developed besides this one.
Oh, NOW I get it.
An APOLOGY.
It’s not enough that blacks have their own hair care aisle, they now want 15% of the entire store devoted to products sold by black owned businesses.

All of the theft in these stores raises the prices to everyone else. These stores cover their losses by raising prices to all consumers.
Eventually that doesn’t work anymore and the store closes down.
I think the biggest seller(or stolen item evidently) is hair weaves so black women can have hair dos like white women which of course would be cultural appropriation if it were reversed.
Perpetual grievance.
