>Maybe you should look at the demographics of your area to figure out the reason stores need to do this.
Yep. Bingo.

I think it's insulting to have to ask someone for permission to unlock something so I can buy it, but at the same time I understand that other people's bullshit made it necessary.

Stores should leave the shit they can't clear out for easy theft so they can write the full retail value off of their taxes.

WalMart is the one doing this and only for some of the 'adult' collectibles in my area. Target seems hit and miss, even on LEGO - sometimes those are behind lock and key, others not. And parts of my area/demographics don't seem to be an issue. Albeit all the WMs in my County are in the shit hole parts of what is a very larger metro area. Whereas Targets are more widespread.

Gamestop has also started putting some of their collectibles behind those hard plastic pieces covering the pegs, so you have to ask he clerk to unlock it to look at figures behind the one in front. It's more minor hassle than anything else.

I could go on all day because search results are in the thousands, but the point made is adequate, and the fact still stands that it wasn't White people who forces thousands of stores to close forever due to stealing. It's your own racism that feels the need to project it into everyone so people don't get their feelings hurt by getting called out on their bullshit while the rest of us have to deal with fucking locked cases for more and more stuff.

I mean, there's looting, sure, but not on a wide scale if it's not already a hole like Haiti or something with a bunch of poor people. Shared vulnerability creates solidarity. Helping gives people a sense of purpose when their world gets turn upside down. There's been a ton of studies on this.

Walmart does this in my area even in the suburbs, though mostly with high theft items like baby food, diapers, electric toothbrushes, contraceptives and lube. It does seem like it’s slowly overtaking the store though, years ago nothing was locked up at all.

All the WM in my County are in the outlier areas, with a few exceptions. I think Burbank is the only "wealthy area" that has one (actually 2, I think) but both are in the crappier parts. It's not like they are near a subway stop or where it's easy to get to them on a bus, so everyone who shops there has to at least own a car and afford more than a few gallons of gas.

100% correct as people like the one you responded to just want to make it about skin color, which is stupid and no reason to hate someone for, when true racism is about observing and noticing things about other people and their cultures that you don't like nor want to be force to be a part of based on your values.

It's why you don't see millions of white people clamoring to get into Mexico, India and/or Africa, do you, and if you disagree why aren't you living there?!?FACT!!!

Same with all three of the Wal-Marts in my area as up until about two+ years ago they never had things locked behind glass except for videogames or electronics but now even razors, soap, etc...like you said are now locked!!!FACT!!!
