I went to walmart other day to buy a headlight bulb for my car, but they were locked up and there was no way to call for someone to unlock the case… i just left and went to oreily and paid $10 more… seriously who is out there stealing headlight bulbs??
I once bought laundry detergent at Walmart and was surprised to find it locked up. Had to buzz an associate to open the case and then take it to a register so I could purchase it. They wouldn’t even let me carry it to a register myself.
The irritating part: directly across the street was a Sam’s Club (which is a Walmart company) and they don’t lock up detergent. Just stamps, high priced electronics, and high priced alcohol.
Last time I was in walmart, which was admittedly a couple years ago, the mens boxers were locked up. The women’s section was normal. That’s the first time I’d seen something locked up that wasn’t alcohol or potential drug paraphernalia (steal wool, razors). Rather dystopian.
Yeah I’m sure it’s straight up based on inventory discrepancies but still dystopian that people need to steal underwear. Walmart should just work it into their charitable donations fund.

Detergent is something everybody needs which makes it a good currency for illicit activities and a target for theft

I believe it’s just lazy loss prevention targeting items that go missing frequently.

We’re talking about the company that insists their employees to use food stamps.
