    “Racial profiling” -

    Plenty of items get locked up including condoms. Some Walmart locations put anti-theft devices on laundry detergent.

    Too much inventory variance. :rofl:

    Seems to reason any ‘African American’ person pointing that out might be embarrassed by the statistical data would cause Walmart to consider that the best choice for a display.

    I've heard them put out the call "someone needed at family planning" over the intercom. Yep they lock up the rubbers now.

    The Walmart near me locks up Tide pods to keep kids from eating them. Other types of detergent pods are not locked up.
    This is a real head-scratcher to me.

    It’s Walmart
    You might be surprised at what they lock up and why but I’m told it’s very simple.
    What: 2 dollar phone cases and charging cords
    Why: because they made the shoplifting list. In fact, anything cell phone related ranks pretty high on frequently lifted items.
    What/why: items on the frequently lifted list that have no anti theft strip or chip in the packaging.
    Anything guns and ammo related because it’s Walmart.

    So, looks like those products somehow made the list at those few stores. I’m betting there will be a few extra cams directed at that section now.

    I was a service contractor for Wal-Mart for 15 years. What the article says is true, if the manager cannot stop the theft, by any means, they get a new manager. Cosmetics was always one of the biggest loss items. That's why you see so many cameras and now a register in the Health/Beauty aids.

    By the way, WM employee theft is SEVEN times what the public is stealing. The facts I know.

    They need to liberate what little ammo they still sell too.

    I stopped buying ammo at Walmart when they began keeping records. It's not the record so much as the idiocy of the checkout. I hadn't heard of the policy and stopped by to get some 22 LR. After waiting a long time for the associate to show up with the key, I had to endure the following:

    Associate: Is this for a rifle or a handgun.
    Me: It's for both.
    Associate: It can't be for both. The form says so.
    Me: Oh? What does it say on the box?
    Associate: 22 Long Rifle.
    Me: Then it must be for a rifle, I guess.
    Associate: So do you still want it?
    Me : Yeah I'll stick it in and see if it fits. You never know, right?

    The associate checked her box for rifle while giving me the strangest look. :dunno:

    Screw Walmart. A couple of weeks ago I had a coon in my henhouse that killed three laying hens. I haven't had a .22 rifle since I gave mine to my son 20 years ago, so I went to WM to purchase a 10/22 so I could dispatch the coon. It took almost 15 minutes to get someone to the gun counter, then she told me that it takes two persons to check out a gun and the other person was at lunch. Then she told me that NICS was backed up and it could take several days to get approved. I explained that I had a CCW permit and that there was no waiting period for me, but she didn't waver in her beliefs. Walked out and went to Academy and got the same rifle for $20 cheaper, and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Then I had to shoot the coon. That SOB put up a hell of a fight even after I shot him between the eyes.

    Hmmm...I bet it wasn't the same customer that would be "buying" dat Jheri curl grease. Using rubbers ain't on the agenda fo dem.

    No worries, Wally-World is simply going to put out an apology for trying to slow down loss from theft and that they were wrong to attempt to do such a thing.

    Yet, even knowing they have cameras directed on the guns and ammo, they still can't get an employee there to open the ammo case without me wasting 45 minutes going to other departments and having someone paged for help 2 or 3 times - every single time I go there for ammo. I bet if they thought I was breaking into the case, someone would be there pretty quick!
