They used to call this “knowing the customer”.
Not locked up in our Walmart here in the South. Must be a huge shoplifting problem in that particular Walmart.
At one of the dollar stores in the nearby city ... they keep all the Tide products locked up. Gain, no. Arm & Hammer, no. Fabuloso and Suavitel ... no. Just Tide.
And I haven’t seen it this way at other stores, only in one store in one neighborhood.
Weird.
IT was to prevent whitey from tapering with the stuff. Wink wink.
