- A video of a woman complaining about everything being locked behind glass at her local Target sparked angry responses from some leftists online who accused her of classism and racism. But doesn’t she have a point? Let’s get into it.

If you’re in a store that has products locked up or behind glass, you’re not in a bad store you’re in a bad neighborhood and should leave immediately
defunding police and not inforce theft and shoplifting with punishment and jail becaus "some ism" and now cry that they cant shop like a free citizen... stupid is what stupid does.
Is sunscreen locked up?
@@zerofox1551 Funny but I'm pretty sure black people can still get things like sunburns, heat rashes, water blisters etc...
@@zerofox1551hur hur hur , go refresh your 1dten certified self.
Nothing is locked up in new Hampshire. Except new phones n tablets
Who'd have thought defunding the police and pandering towards minorities would back fire 😂
The minorities of the minorities are silencing those speaking out against. The hood is having a civil war and some are say defund police. And I'm like yo WTF. Are you serious.
Actual police officers support defund the police and they still work. It’s geared more toward reallocating money and putting more money in places with very few police officers.
How many of us DIDN'T know that would be the result?
@@mreed712apparently too FUK'N many.. Because voila, we the people are still living under lockdown 2023...
TY Brandon.!
Yes lets defund the military now and see how that goes!
I used to go out of my way to find a store that locked up the cosmetics I was so happy when my local store started locking up the make-up. Now I KNOW when I buy it, no one else has used my lipstick first!
Ikr? I walked into the cosmetics section of my store and was met by the sight of half a dozen college-age women sitting on the floor trying all the make-up.
@@edennis8578ewww! That's like returning a pair of underwear that's been worn
Well, at least you know no _customer_ has tried it first. Employees could have.
Former Retail Apparel associate here: I wish my store had put the socks and underwear in cases. Repackaging them was a pain int the neck, not to mention when pieces were missing.
@@sprawl2018Nothing nastier. Automatic dispose and loss to the store, and I had to hope that I had gloves and hand sanitizer near by because the rest of the department wouldn't let me run to the bathroom to wash my hands and they didn't want to deal with claims in general.
Here's a quote from Ronald Reagan. We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
And yet they continued!
The hilarious part of this is that Reagan BROKE THE LAW and faced no consequence. Why? He was rich and powerful. His was the "crime" we don't care about. Some homeless guy steals a $7 something or other from a store, though, and ... RELEASE THE HOUNDS!
Amen
A leftist would now respond to you.😂
Excuse me!!! His actions? His? How dare you! What if the person is female, gender fluid or a toaster??? The pronoun should have been they or them!
I demand to speak to this Reagan and have them correct themselves! **Screams frantically**
The problem is that, unless there's an observable public backlash about it, things aren't going to change.
Universities and schools will lie to people, teaching them complete BS, in order to make them believe a false paradigm.
Politicians will implement unpopular, failing legislation, based on that falsehood.
The media will make it seem like the people who don't like that law are some sort of degenerate minority.
And dumb people who do not take interest in politics will believe the media, and help stabilize that new legislation.
Unless there's an observable outrage, to the point where any common Joe can look outside his window and _see_ that what the media say people want, and what people _actually_ want are two different things, this _will_ continue.
As the quote goes:
_We know that they are lying,_
_they know that they are lying,_
_they even know that we know they are lying,_
_we also know that they know we know they are lying too,_
_they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well,_
_but they are still lying._
_In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country._
I've lived in an African country, a European country, and an Arab country. America's problems are mostly not due to racism nor to poverty. Rabid liberalism is the root of all these issues.
@thepoetesskhansaa
Buddy I'm a black American man who's lived in this literally god forsaken country long enough to know that what you're saying will fall on deaf ears.
Thing is this rabid liberalism is essential to maintaining the status quo of us "racial minorities" and the underclass whites stay where we are while the rich stay at the top.
That's what this is all about really. Making sure those in power don't lose said power.
This is known.
Liberals have an automatic emotional response to everything, which overrides their logic and rational thought, so the simple concept of cause and effect is beyond their comprehension.
Yea the UK only locks away cigarettes and video games sometimes alcohol
Well said. The people in charge, and I mean, the people who're REALLY in charge of the West, and make all the real decisions, do this, seemingly, by design. They systematically gain total hidden power with a complex interlocking system that subverts real democracy and boosts the illusion of democracy to the common man.
So many things our grandparents took for granted have now become privileges. Free range kids who bike around on their own, in perfectly safe, clean suburbs are only now, found in high end gated communities.
Small mom & pop stores where they know you, located on a "main street", with parking lots in back, are only now found, in very affluent small towns. Maybe add; not-having-to-lock-your-doors, low crime, and good schools to that list.
Whats life like now to average suburbanites? Helicopter parenting mandated by law, high crime, illegal drugs and other temptations freely available to your kids, and substandard policing. Theres no longer any cute "Mayberry RFD" type towns.
Now its sprawling strip-malls, with big ugly parking lots out front. The architecture? Its modern, generic, and ticky-tacky. The schools fawn over problem kids at the expense of the normal ones. The emphasis is on gender, oppression, and self-esteem. Actual learning? Not so much.
Why are they doing this to us? What are they gaining? All fair questions.
the best moment was when Wal-mart closed like 3-4 stores and the community got triggered saying that it was racism when the actual reason was that there was too much theft.
I used to be against shoplifting, then the pandemic hit and goverments started printing off money to devalue our currency, price of groceries double (idc what the stats say, they doubled) and they only allowed these giant corporations to stay open while forcing small businesses to close. People who have jobs at walmart need to be on government assistance. FK these companies,Steal from them every chance you get, or deflationary spending as i call it
And theft is fixed with….online shopping. 100% success rate. Close the store. Force online shopping. Start with the least profitable, aka the crime riddled areas. Corporations will always follow the money because legally they must serve shareholders.
@emilywhite8818 trust me, you can EASILY steal stuff with online shopping...
Um… but porch pirates AND online stores suck doesn’t matter what it sells eBay, games, movies there’s scams and recently the ‘licenses’ for movies and games are being revoked and you get told you don’t own what you payed for so…
I will never understand the idea of screaming oppression into a smartphone
It's straight up just a way for people to vent frustration. She is litteraly powerless and the only thing that feels like she has control over is the audience she has. Not litteral just the concept of being agreeable to the masses is good enough for these people. It's better than going insane internalizing it and looking crazy to family.
@@halftimex25
Being agreeable would never enough for them, it's also not for the masses as the masses don't think like that, and I guarantee they still look like psycho's to their families. They're not GOING insane, they ARE.
Right on, young lady. You so eloquently nailed this 100%. It never ceases to amaze me just how absolutely ignorant so many of these people are…. I have always thought, we need to drastically change the policies, and start actually policing. If anything, add more cops, build more jails….and whatever race ends up being the majority arrested….whether white, black, Asian….etc….so be it. Deal with it, people. By the way, I’ve always felt that the idea of “defunding the police” was literally the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard….And I’m pushing 60 🤷🏻♂️
I can tell you there’s NOTHING like this in my small town in Tennessee. Plenty of black people and yet nothing is locked up… it’s almost like it’s a culture thing?
Small town with some minority population here and very little is locked up. It costs them to have to have people to open cases so they'd rather not unless it's essential. I've actually seen security *removed* since I've been here.
Same, I can go to every Walmart in Memphis, everything locked up. Drive to Nashville some store have only high theft locked up, hop over to Franklin (unless changed recently) nothing locked up. Jackson, TN only high theft tems. I talked to managers whom I know, they said it looks racist because the demograpics of those stealing are like 99% black.
Correct
Small town with a big immigrant population. Some things locked up, some not. Deodorant not locked up but condoms are. Flashlights locked up but hammers are not. So far, not a lot but I fear that there will be more.
I'm in TN too and thank goodness
If stores had it in for black people and wanted to make it hard for them to have these products, they wouldn’t stock them at all. The “logic” is ludicrous.
When my parents were growing up in the southern U.S. there was real racism, when people of color would not have even been able to set foot in the Target, let alone get close enough to steal anything. I grew up in the same area, and there was not one place in our small little southern town that anybody of any color could not go and do their shopping.
Mny years ago I was told I was responsible for training all of my crews how to look at each person that walked into our restaurant...I told t look at each customer s 8f their color wx...green because if they treated each customer as if they we=e green.... their tips won't way higher,the cooks were cookingaitbetter food thus cretin a happy crew
Replace all the shoes with work boots, they won't take those.
@@cynthiahaun9269wanna try again?
@@maryrichardson1318Yes, there USED to be racism like that, but there isn't anymore in the US. The trouble is, many poc's who weren't even born when it did exist use that to cry racism now, when it doesn't, and to be an excuse to steal or be entitled now. And too many white people who remember the actual racism from way-back-when can't seem to grasp the fact that it's been gone for decades, and move on, instead of continuing to have some sort of feeling of mass guilt for that which no longer exists.
My daughter worked at a Target and said people would load up their shopping carts and just walk out without paying. There was nothing she could do about it.
My Mom before retirement her last job was at Old Navy and she was basically told not to do anything if someone was stealing stuff (And you have people that complain about allowing responsible citizens to arm themselves)...
"People"...
We know who lol
If people don't want it behind glass, then people shouldn't steal the items.
I'll always remember what my loss prevention manager at Lowe's said to me. "stealing a loaf of bread to feed your starving family is a tragedy and a reality that too many people face on a daily basis. Stealing a drill to pawn is a business decision."
This. Stealing is wrong, however I have more sympathy to someone stealing baby food or a bag of dipers then someone stealing 40 dvds or a playstation.
Most cities have food pantries
@@sparxmaiden841 They steal baby formula and people call it a tragedy, yet the stolen formula is on Marketplace 30 minutes later. America is the fattest, best-fed nation in the world. Almost nobody's stealing because they're hungry. They're stealing to make a quick buck.
Your manager hit the nail on the head. Where I live its fairly well known that there is some racket that goes up and down the interstate coridor and they'll hit every home depot, lowes or other big hardware store. They will steal whatever high value items they can before bolting and go on to the next store and there's little the employees are allowed to do to stop them. And in the footsteps of San Francisco any theft under a particular price not only isn't prosecutor it barely ever is investigated. The perps know it and intentionaly stay under that number for any particular hit. The employess know the folks on site but they come in packs to overwhelm the number of people that can be devoted to following them around and the cops dont even come out anymore. They aint doing it to feed their starving children, its just their dishonest job.
@@sparxmaiden841 a friend of mine steals baby diapers because she doesnt want to pay for them.
Funny. I actually thought the "Dystopian Nightmare" was seeing people filling up garbage bags with merchandise and then running out of store.
Nah, it's not a true 'Dystopian Nightmare" until it's (theoretically) sustainable, cause then there's no way out. This BS will collapse or reform is a decade, tops.
To this princess, it IS a dystopian nightmare. Her dreams of living in a “quaint urban area that has been gentrified” aren’t living up to her boujie standards. She probably pays way too much to live in a “trendy” area likely overwhelmed by hipsters. It still gets haunted at night by people who used to live there trying to take back something from a world that took away homes to make room for hipster hotels for the sake of green. And, now… they are being haunted in the day, too.
What? No. She just wants to buy some goddamn toothpaste.@@JimAirborne25
@@JimAirborne25So, what's the alternative to gentrification? I'll tell you, since you haven't figured it out: miles and miles of deteriorating buildings that would soon be uninhabitable. Nobody would live in those buildings. Neighborhood after neighborhood just deserted. That's the reality.
...back to their "tent city" along the sidewalk...😱🥺🤡🤡🤡
"I hated going into the city because there's so much surveillance" lol, what?
As I live in rural America, all the issues with looting and theft are not something I've had the pleasure to experience.
It's almost as if there are negative consequences to people stealing all the time. Who would have thought?
A great success in advancing the redistribution of wealth though. ;)
This summarizes the whole situation... only comment that is necessary.
"Dur people steal all the time"
The solution of the year
@@SkyeAten🙄
I know, right. Totally shocking 🙄
The absolute lack of awareness from those people that think this is some sort of conspiracy against PoCs or the lower class is downright infuriating at this point.
It really shows the assumptions they're making about those groups
Especially when the decision on which items to lockup/put behind glass is often made by a program that tracks things like known theft, item price, size, store location, etc for loss prevention. A person with emotion didn't make that call, raw data and facts feed to a machine using logic did.
it's not a "conspiracy", it's verified truth... Let's look at the historical evidence, Tuskegee Syphilis Study, COINTELPRO, Planned Parenthood, shall I continue?
They don't get the darker ones we're the ones being stolen not the lighter ones.
If the orange gum keeps getting stolen next to the grape and cherry then the orange gum would be enclosed or tagged while the others are not.
They lock up the items that have been stolen the most.
In New Zealand the retailers association regularly reports on theft (shop lifting) and recently announced that in a recent 12 month period it was in excess of $NZ2 billion. In a country with only 5.1 million people. This included theft by employees. Some expensive items are electronically tagged, and cigarettes are in locked cabinets. We live in a town where we get cruise ships. I was talking to a retailer who had expensive clothing stolen. The police were called, and when they traced the culprits to their cabin, it was full of shop-lifted items. They planned their cruise that way!
Took 30 minuets to get flintstones vitamins at a Target on Long Island. Every staff member I spoke to said they did not have the key to unlock the display.
It's NOT about racism, it's about preventing theft...for example:
I'm an Asian living in a predominantly white neighborhood in the PNW. It's NOT the best or safest place to live and there's a lot of crime here including theft. My local grocery store which is around the corner, locks up baby formula, certain personal care products, and makeup. The same grocery store on the same street that is about two miles away, doesn't do this. They don't have to because theft isn't as big of an issue on that side of town...
People screaming racism have never owned a business and quite frankly, are probably upset that it's harder to steal because, why would they do the mature thing and work for what they have? 🙄
Bingo. That’s what pisses them off. It’s harder to steal or tag switch or self scan in replacement for items triple the prices.
But...but...but...are you trying to tell me I'm not entitled to have whatever I want at all times?
That doesn't sound right -.-
(Above is me being sarcastic)
And yes, you are right, it's a cultural problem not a race one. Areas with high trust and intact social cohesion have low crime. A culture that respects personal property and responsibility is more likely to create a safe environment than one that teaches you are owed just because *insert reason*.
Yeah, I live in 95% white country in Europe and there are some stores with locked items. It’s usually in the areas with high fluctuation of people - bus or train station, big malls etc. nothing to do with race.
@muaythaiballerina6463
Well as a black man who is an entrepreneur with a day job, I'll tell you they don't wanna work for what they want because "working is hard."
That's why they prefer to take what they want rather than work for it.
where i'm from if i go to the white side of town everything is easily accessed. go to black side of town. everything locked up. so i just don't go to the black side. look at prison. more blacks are in jail cause blacks not only accepts crime in their culture they LITTERALY celebrate it. 15% of population doing 52% of crime. its a race thing all day all long. get your head out the sand.
Imagine enabling crime and empowering criminals and then crying about having to face the consequences.
Until it's their house and their things.
If you decriminalize things then you can say that the crime rate is down. 🤔
They will run to the conservative cities and then protest life there.
I love Amals, but the problem is not left or right, it’s Liberal or conservative. Conservatives only care about money, but Liberals just want quality of life.
the consequences were the reason why they enabled criminals. They want people to shop online. They're disgusting buisnesses and people of shoping IRL.
It’s almost like the more an item is stolen the more it is secured. That’s crazy logic! Stop stealing and if you know people stealing you need to shame them for doing it
Kinda funny how the low crime rate areas don’t have this issue and have no security like that
Not true. Stop making generalizations.
@gabriellej7532 It’s true. I live in a Red state and very Red county with low levels of crime (imagine that?). And, we don’t have ANY of these security measures. This has been seen in many areas like mine. It’s only when I travel for business to a blue city when you see this. So, the generalization is correct. Doesn’t mean it’s an absolute (nothing in life is) but it’s MOSTLY true. Stop being offended and rather address the problem. Typical leftist

You know what I think it is absolutely about race. I go to Walmart and practically everything locked up, I go to the Asian grocery store and nothing is locked up…let that sink in.
@@gabriellej7532 I live in a small hillbilly town, basically nothing is locked anywhere. Cars and even homes are often unlocked. I guess the main thing would be gas station cigarettes are always behind the counter.
In elementary school we learned how the actions of one person could spoil things for the the whole class.
We did too, and we thought it was unfair.
Exactly.. it's unfair, but it is what it is
@@ankavoskuilen1725the alternative is for the companies to either go broke, lock up the stuff that gets stolen, or just leave the area all together. Each one or those situations would be taken as racism to the ignorant left.
It takes one person to take away the pizza party! That’s what happened to us in school lol
Funny how there is not the opposite where one person does good and everyone is rewarded for their behavior.
We started by becoming a culture of instant gratification, and now we're a culture of zero accountability.
Sub culture
Exactly
Who TF is we? I only see one culture doing this!
So you are also part of this culture? Your comment is flawed.
we? nah fam leftist are doing all this
Every store is doing this because of how much product that is being stolen and not recovered and with no one getting put in jail for it.
We don't buy their items so why would we know this was even happening 🤷🤦
Locking things up has nothing to do with race, it all has to do with theft. And if people hadn't been out stealing, the store wouldn't have to lock the items up.
Leftists dont care about cause and effect they have proven that time and time again. They lean on racism and hate to feed their delusions.
Yep. And there's a reason they don't put gardening items behind glass.
The thieves who have set up the data in the database about which items are shoplifted and which are not just were never that interested in growing their own food.
Stores can put gardening items in front of the store, without even any cameras watching them. MAYBE one person will take a few seeds. That's it. Nobody steals that stuff. Why?
For the same reason that the people complaining about food deserts and how poor urban people can't get good food looted the convenience stores, and trashed them, and took or destroyed all the canned goods and beers, but left the banana display absolutely untouched.
Wow… what a great observation.
I told my wife a couple weeks ago that it won't be long before some stores are going to become curb-side pick up only. Make your order online, an employee will shop for you, bag it all up, and bring it to your car. The stores will be built like banks without windows and no public access.
@@michami135 Or close up the physical location and be online orders from warehouses only putting people out of work.
I worked for Target as an Asset Protection Specialist. Basically, I'd get a printout full of barcodes and Inventory vs Sales numbers. I didn't know what the product was or who used it... I just saw "We started with 10 of these, we sold 3, but only have 2 left in the store". When your Inventory is consistently lower than the Sales can account for... it's theft and is flagged as a Hot Item. Security measures are applied to the items that are always missing and it's figured on a store-to-store basis. 🙄
You mean there ISN'T actually a huge, nation-wide conspiracy to prevent black women from doing their hair? THE SHOCK!
Like duh!
been working at walmart for 9 years we follow the same protocol
I did the same for Walgreens. Things that were high theft ended up being locked in cases. It was more of a pain to have to check, much less get for a customer. Maybe if people wouldn't be thieves, it wouldn't be needed.
Yeah, working retail here; I remember one of our hot items, since I work in the refrigerated-goods section, is a relatively-expensive brand of feta: literally only ever selling less than half the items leaving our stores, the missing ones having been stolen. And this has nothing to do with minorities in particular, it's plain-and-simple shoplifting.
Target 🎯 They called it right. Target for shoplifters. Couldn't happen to a more woke store.
They used to say “crime doesn’t pay”, and it used to be true. Now there are people who have made petty crime their only profession, because the courts have assured that crime does pay.
I remember a news story here in Atlanta years ago about a Walgreens putting security tags on items black ppl purchased, like hair relaxer and things like that. There was all this outrage over it, but Walgreens basically said “we are alerted to the sku numbers of what gets stolen during inventory processes, and we tag those sku numbers, we don’t even know what those products are when we decide they should be tagged”, which is TRUE. Ppl who have no idea how merchandising works assuming it’s racism…THE definition of logical fallacy.
honestly if I were a black person I'd be EXTREMELY embarrassed to point out that only the "black" products get locked up. Because it's just common sense that a store will lock up the items that are frequently stolen. Like Spray paint.. that's not color specific. They are locking them up against thieving hooligans. Skin color has nothing to do with it.
I used to work in a pharmacy and did inventory and shrinkage tracking. What Walgreen said is correct. All they see is am SKU number. They don't see what the product is. They know exactly how many each store is supposed to have, how many sold, how many are reported as damaged and destroyed, and how many are missing. It's all tracked.
Therefore we can know which race is stealing most 😉
@drummerjstone incorrect. You cannot assume which race is stealing as anyone can know which non-essential products will sell. White people know hair products will sell to the black and latino community just like they know cr*ck will sell to the white community 👍🏽
@@drummerjstoneThey basically told on themselves. I love when people get mad that they can't steal things anymore.
Many years ago, I sneaked a package of candy from the store and was caught red-handed by my mom. After she warmed up the seat of my pants for me, she drove me back to the store and made me look the store keeper in the eye while apologizing and returning the item. Best life lesson I was ever given. RIP, mom.
Happened to countless kids in the past. Also you knew if you got in trouble at school you were in bigger trouble at home.
My bros and I got spanked a lot as well. We turned out good later. Do bad, get spanked. Do good, get rewarded.
Same here. I stole carton cigarettes and had to have my mom come get me. I got arrested in front of my whole school. And I got my ass tanned. Taught me a lot of lessons that I’m grateful to have had.
Same thing happened to me, learnt my lesson and haven’t felt the urge to steal from stores at all after that
Your story took me back to my early childhood. My aunt and I, were in the toy section of a department store. There was a toy car that I asked her to buy. She stated NO, so I pull it off the shelf and into our shopping bag. Got home took it out of the bag and started playing. When she seen it and asked how did I purchase it, I had no answer. She took a belt to my butt, then we return to store and made me tell the clerk what I done. She bought the toy and gave it away. Yes that was enough for me to learn.
I can see stores becoming online only. Warehouses that employees gather the products from and take to the front for pickup after it’s already been paid for. It will make daily use items that much more annoying to get but this is what happens when people think that THEFT is okay.
In my area, the only things that gets locked behind glass doors are games and "adult care" products. Walgreens started putting stickers on their soap products informing costumers about people placing outside products on the shelves.
My grandfather opened a supermarket in a black neighborhood. On opening day, the locals thronged into the store and looted it. He had invested in the store, trained the workers, stocked the store. After the store was looted, he closed the store, and each worker was given two weeks pay. He moved his headquarters out of a rented office, into his home. It took 3 years to recover.
Yeah that sounds about right. It should be easy to make the dots connect, and point out the problem, but doing that just gets you in trouble.

Why didn't someone tell him wtf was bound to happen?
And my God 3 years to recover?
That's a damn shame dude, I hope he got back on his feet and bounced back and lived a fulfilling life.
Recently I had to unlock a cabinet for a lady. She was upset that the things were locked up. She says “just let them take it”. This is why prices are higher and everything is locked up. People have no idea how the world works.
when your life is ruled by emotion and empathy, you think that everything will just work itself out no matter waht.
@@politicalpolarbear I agree except the empathy part.
What they have is performative empathy. They know that real empathy makes you look good, so they try to mimic it. The problem with that: if you don't really understand the underlying principles of empathy, you can't accurately reproduce it.
Real empathy embraces reality and seeks to solve problems sustainably. But that's hard, frustrating work and it is so much easier to come in with a quick fix that will gloss over the issues without solving them.
@@politicalpolarbear But that's not empathy, that's enablement.
the reply to that statement should have been "If you want them to to just take it...I will have to lock you up first...for all eternity" and see the reaction
yeah that works until she gets ripped off. then you see the attitude change
This video is spot on. Accountability is key. I’ve been in several rural and urban stores, throughout the US, that have locked cases due to the local crime. Skin color didn’t matter, the high crime rate did.
I worked at Walgreens in Oregon and I had this guy come in came straight behind the counter me and my manager was at (where the cigarettes are located) and he had his hand in his jacket pocket like he had a gun pretending he had one when it was obviously his finger, and told us to stay still, as he grabbed as many cigarettes as he could, and once he had as many as he could carry he ran out. There were also multiple people who would come in and fill a shopping cart/basket full of stuff and just leave with it and all we were allowed to do was just stand there and watch
My wife is a teacher. She is terrified of our future because the kids just do whatever they want and their parents cry racism if someone tries to hold them accountable for their actions.
Most kids are depressed, anxiety ridden and on psych meds. Your teacher must be blind because that future is here. Must be in denial
We left the US, I suggest others also.
The future is already here. Your wife is an airhead

Reminds me of my 8th grade field trip to Six flags. A bunch of kids in my class were messing around and thought it would be fun to jump over a railing and trespass into restricted areas.
Our school was banned from Six Flags and our entire class was banned from any more field trips/travels. Our teacher also canceled our class party. We didnt blame our school or Six flags for punishing us… We shamed the crap out of those kids for ruining it for the rest of us.
Needless to say, they never acted up again
Sad to think that kids have more common sense on blaming the true bad guys then many adults
Yeah, and now those hoodlums run the LAPD, school boards, and the Mayor's office
Funny same thing happened a few years before I made it to 8th grade at my school
i feels really bad when hearing sense feels like it's xmas when it should be common place. thanks for saying the sensible and obvious truth. Well, when i say obvious... apparently, it's not obvious to many.
First offence stealing: lose a finger, 2nd time, lose a hand.

When I was 18 I worked at Walmart as a regular employee when they started to put things behind cases. I was so appalled when I saw that they mostly encased a lot of the textured hair products in the beauty section. I also thought it was an act of racism until I became the department manager of the beauty section. We would have to scan all new product that came in and the amount, and constantly check to make sure we still had that same amount on hand if it didn’t show that it was purchased. That’s when I realized that all the products that get locked up are mostly the ones going missing.
And to top it off, Walmart wouldn’t give us our bonuses due to the amount of theft 🤦♀️
The better you control and reduce shrink the better your bonus.
They did't call it vanishing cream for nothing

What I find concerning here is that your first thought was racism and the fact that you didn't question it until you were given responsibility for said products.
@@MrVohveli what can I say, I was a lefty 🤷♀️ you live and you learn.

She was literally fighting for her life in that store…ok.
I recently traveled to Minnesota and noticed immediately that the Target did NOT have everything locked up. Clearly it’s a localized issue in certain cities. When the population of homeless people is ridiculously high and you have no consequences for “petty” theft, it’s not exactly surprising that stuff gets locked up.
This right here. That's happening a lot here in Vancouver, WA because of the spillover of homeless addicts who came from Portland, OR...
True cause none of my targets are like that.
@@crzyinzan3 i wouldnt know, i never go in one. Target is just a wal mart with a superiority complex, and prices to match.
I haven't been in a while, but last time I went - it wasn't like that for everyday stuff. Just the standard locks for electronics and certain medications.
It isn’t the homeless population whose doing the large majority of theft.
Thank you, you are an enlightened and very well spoken young lady. I really enjoy your videos. As an old school black male, I am at times, ashamed of how some members of my race behave. Accountability is quickly disappearing and we need to admit our fault in corporations deciding to exit our communities. Thank you for honest commentary!WE NEED TO DO BETTER!!!
I recently went into a Target in Honolulu and even the socks and underwear were locked behind glass cabinets. This is starting to get ridiculous.
Not to mention how many women's bathrooms in Honolulu have removed the stall doors! 😳
I had to ask my sister to stand in front of the stall I was using, so no one would accidentally walk in while I'm peeing. 😅
I'm grateful the less-crowded islands have more user-friendly bathrooms! Hope they stay this way.
Our Wal-Mart has the socks behind glass and I always wondered why because I couldn't imagine socks being a popular item to steal. Later I was at a Wal-Mart in a better area and this one had socks in the open, but a few bags were marked down with those big yellow stickers they typically use for clearance food. It wasn't until I got them home that i noticed the hole in the bag. Apparently, people were just opening them in the store and stealing single pairs out of them and that's why the other Wal-Mart had to resort to glass cases for socks.
I love how that woman was saying black women need essentials like deodorant and body wash as if we’re the only ones 😂 But aside from that, stores lock up stuff that tends to grow legs and walk off the most. Before it was makeup but after the pandemic, more everyday items were being stolen more frequently so they have to lock up practically everything now.
I caught that too! Said that especially black wonen need hygiene products.
Say what?
Like I can see how the darker makeup can be interpreted poorly if you only look at it on a surface level but literally EVERYONE needs essentials, that's why they're called essentials. We can clearly see that it impacts more than just black people as the girl in the original video talking about it is literally white
I was wondering are those not essential for her? Does she live in filth? Is this a self burn? Lol
You know that white liberals think that black people are smellier than white people.
@@sydneywarren7353only if your dumb. If not you know why.
I experienced the point you made around 9:30 back in the 90s at my college. They were hiring a new honors program administrator, and I was part of the student interview. I remember one candidate (a white male) noticing there was no "diversity" (read: black students) in the university honors program, and brought up his "amazing" plan to make the program more "appealing" and "accessible" to them by....lowering standards. Too bad he forgot he was talking to a Hispanic woman, an East Asian woman, and a South Asian woman. We ripped him a new one about how condescending, infantilizing, and racist that was. Too bad kids today now support that mindset instead of calling it out.
In allot of western nations, there seems to be this problem where progressives are saying that the universities aren't reflecting society's ethnic makeup.
Yet they forget that it is what happens before anyone applies to higher education is what lays the ground work.
If they want to have higher education to be more diverse, they need to look at the foundation and see where the true problems are.
Instead of lowering the bar, they should be looking at the reasons why the bar isn't being reached in the first place.
In Oregon they just lowered the standards for graduation because black students were not passing math and reading proficiency standards.
So they are failing the black students by accepting as fact that the students can’t learn and just give up.
If I lived there I would be protesting every day in front of a school.
That's some of the weirdest fucking shit.
Lots of leftists (especially the Twitterati) love to use the phrase "dog whistle" or the Tiktok generation loves to use the phrase "tell me you're x without telling me you're x", like earlier in the video with racism.
However, they're the ones who are essentially, with their choice of policies, saying that black people are infantile, unintelligent and irresponsible.
Black students aren't graduating? Lower the standards so they do, otherwise it's racist.
Black people are being jailed for theft more often than other phenotypes? Just make theft de facto legal, that way they won't be jailed.
They see problems involving black people and consistently choose the *WRONG* fucking solution, because they're so overly concerned with doing ANYTHING bad to ANY black person.
Just look at that activits that got stabbed recently with his girlfriend being right there next to him.
She doesn't want to press charges against her boyfriend's killer because the killer is black.
It doesn't matter what that black man did, the fact that he is black is all she needs to know about him.
His actions do no matter, only his skin colour does.
Who are the racists?
In recent years there's been an outcry in the fantasy community because some "fans" have started to yell out that orcs are actually coded black (what that means in normal terms is that it's a caricature of black people, or heavily based on black people).
So they're saying that the race of monsters who are violent, murderous, naturally evil and despoil everything they come across... are based on the behaviour of black people... and they're saying that this makes Tolkien a racist...
Who the *FUCK* are the racists again?
Right! How insulting is this? We need a equal access to opportunity. Outcome needs to be based on merit alone. It is perplexing that this concept is so hard for many to comprehend.
Affirmative action is and has always been ultra white supremacy.
They don't do it at our local target, but both Walmart's have some stuff locked down: socks, certain brands of boxers/underwear.
I live in Canada. One particular large national chain had razor blades behind a locked glass cabinet. One and a half hours to get my razors after work. It required a store employee to confirm my order, call a store manager who handed it to a security guard who handed it to me not when I paid but followed me to my car and handed it over after making sure no one was watching. Never went back. Switched to an electric razor.
Amazon delivers.
They may be too powerful, but they deliver.
Umm, I call bullshit dude nobody is gonna sit in a store for an hour and a half waiting on razor blades.
You can go just abt anywhere and have them in ur hand in under 10 mins even if they're locked up.

I can confirm that shoplifting is through the roof. I work in retail and we have had lost more product this year alone than the place ever has. We once had 67 items stolen within one day. The worst part is that we employees aren't allowed to do anything about it. We cant say anything to them. I'm not saying we should have to. It is a safety concern, but what sucks is that we're not even allowed to call the police for it. Even if we fill out a report, the police don't do anything. And when describing the suspect, we're not allowed to say their race due to "racism fears". It's stupid.

Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't California pass a law I think it's called the employee safety act or there abouts. Basically saids that any employee can be fined and/or jailed if they attempt to stop anyone from shoplifting items regardless of there worth. It's for the "safety" of the employee or employer it's claimed. What kind of crap is that? It's sounds like their making to where the victim is the criminal and the criminal is the victim. It's only going to get worst, liberal logic is a mental illness.. Make crime legal and outlaw self-defense.
I used to work in the electronic department at walmart. And I love how random customers to go to any Walmart employee happens to be in the department, asks hey can get a game for me? No you can't assume they work in the department. But it's crazy they can get upset about it when they do impatient. Maybe the people at the registers, maybe that's not their job. Or they don't have enough people to open the cabinets. I think it's stupid for them to lock all those stuff up. I hope they don't do it everywhere.
Meanwhile here in Wales weve got a self check out and scan as you go in places like Asda (walmart equivalent), where you litterally scan your items as you walk around the store, and they jsut expect you to make sure youve scanned all your items when you go pay.
If a store in a primarily black community has locked items, and the store is run by a black man, is it still racist? No, it's because crime is a very real thing. So how is it racist for other stores to take the same precautions?
I don't remember the name of the reporter but he did a report on racism. He interviewed a black guy and asked if he was racist. The guy said "No because black people can't be racist" (I've always loved that line because it's the literal definition of racism 🙄). Then he asked the black guy "Am I racist?" He said "yeah." Reporter asked "Why?" He said "Because you're white!" Reporter said "Actually I'm Mexican/Latino (don't remember which)". I think the black guy responded with "Well you look white so you're racist!" 🙄🤣😂
A C.R. theorist would tell you that racism is an institution and neither an act nor a behaviour, therefore racism is still at play no matter the race of the shopkeeper.
The Black employees at these stores are sick of having to deal with this shit. It isn't only a "Yt" grievance. Dudes who WORK for a living also get indignant at not just having to risk their safety and deal with the aggravation, but also watching lazy MFers stealing what the rest of the world is able to earn.

I live in a more rural area. Not a single thing behind glass that wouldn't normally be behind glass at my stores.
Former Walmart employee here. I can tell you that company policy is that when a store (not the company as a whole) loses a certain dollar amount of a specific product (or line of products) per month to theft, that item or range of items must then be locked up to prevent further theft.
Isn't it amazing how my local Target and Walmart, here in West Valley City/Magna, Utah, have not placed their products behind locked glass.... but, we do not have the gangs of looters, the rampant criminality that is so prevalent in NYC and Commiefornia. In this state kids are still raised with a sense of morality and decency.
Haha I grew up in west valley the one time meth capital of the US (little known fact), jokes aside - it’s a great city overall, love it and I’m glad they put in the effort to reshape valley fair mall because it was going to hell from gang fights until they slapped a deseret book store there. Used to work at the Kmart/sears on 5600 before it shut down and I loved watching our LP tackle shoplifters (they were police officers who took a part time gig in retail). Would move back in a heartbeat if the valley wasn’t consumed in smog (thanks Californians!).

Don't steal shit and it won't get locked up. Cars have keys for the same reason, no one's getting bent out of shape about that tho lol
@@adammcilmoyl4278 Yeah. Security is EXPENSIVE. Especially when it is security on specific items, rather than just all-around general security.
In the olden days, you'd walk in, hand the clerk your list, and they'd get the stuff for you. You couldn't just browse and you couldn't shoplift, except from the VERY LIMITED amount of items on display at the front, that was just meant to entice people into the store, in the first place. Small things. TINY things. Like buttons, if you were at a cloth goods store.
That kind of all-around security was REALLY cheap, as you were only guarding a single area, with everything in it.
But when you break it down to start guarding individual items, in addition to the stuff in the back, you have to spend a LOT more. Not just having a security guard to catch the people who set off the alarm, but the cost of ALL those individual barcode alarms. The cost of ALL those locks on the skews. The cost of all those glass cases. The cost of additional security running and checking cameras and patrolling the store and the parking lot.
The cost of loss reduction, or whatever politically correct thing they're calling it these days is probably about 25% of the cost of doing business, if not more.
They want to inconvenience them so badly, that they inconvenience Everyone! (Sarcasm alert)
Numbers are numbers. If the darker color makeup is stollen most often statistically thats what will be locked up. Lol
Common sense at its best !!!!! 👌
😂😂 but that leads to hard questions for the liberal mind. They can't let the queens be seen as bad in the bonnet filled sandals wearing target stores.
Ironically, if Target stopped locking the black makeup up and allowed them to keep getting stolen while the other makeup tones were still on the shelves, black women would complain that Target wasn't being "inclusive" and that they don't cater to them. Target locking them up actually works in black womens favor, because it guarantees that they will always have what they're looking for anytime they go to the store and won't have to hear "sorry we're out of stock".
I finally got an employee unlock the tidepods, but they wouldnt let me continue shopping with the product. They took it up front so when I finished, I could pick it up at the regestrer as I checked out. They dont trust anyone because its a highly stolen item
It might return to the pre-Supermarket type of store, where shoppers tell a clerk what they want, and the clerk fetches the items for them. Lots of scope for small traders rather than big corporations in that scenario. More likely most shopping will just be online instead though.
I'm a white woman, and when I was in college a few years ago, I carried my backpack and walked almost everywhere, so I wasn't surprised when store employees shadowed me through my shopping. They weren't to know I wasn't just another thieving teen, so I didn't blame the store or the employees for being suspicious, I blamed shoplifting college kids for setting a stereotype that made it necessary for me to be seen as a potential problem for wearing a backpack. I even let them search my backpack a few times.
You can also ask them if you can leave the backpack behind the counter. Can help show trust.
@@zibix4562 I did do that at a couple smaller store, when I wasn't carrying my laptop.
I live in a college town. The closer you are to campus the more you see locked shelves and security in shops. There is a market just outside one of the entrances, they made the door super narrow and there is a small labirynth just before the cashier to avoid people running out with a bunch of stuff.
I'm a security officer for a plant which produces tortillas and similar products for Mexican restaurants. One of my duties is to monitor employees' backpacks/gear bags during shift changes. Many of them choose the clear plastic ones that some schools also insist upon, makes the job easier. Employees are also frequently given product to take home, but they must present a permission slip at the guard shack on the way out.
In Australia, by entering a store with a bag of any sort, you are giving consent for it to be searched by the store staff before you leave the store.

I have worked for a locally owned craft store for 20 years and the shoplifting has never been worse than in the last 4 years. We spent a majority of our time having to deal with it and more and more of our products had to be behind the counter. We couldn’t afford to have stuff stolen every day. One of the reason the store closed after 30years
As a child who shoplifted. You have to be a monster to take from locally owned and family businesses. Even teen clepto me realized you don’t take from businesses that barely keep their doors open as is.
I feel so bad for all of you and hope there's going to be some kind of silver lining in the future!
@Sillystring365 Taking from any store is wrong.
The bigger chain store has a larger customer base and more shoplifters in general. It also has more people justifying their actions because "they can afford it" so they take a greater % loss than a small business would to shoplifting.
That doesn't typically hurt the large corporation in the long run. They'll just increase their prices, either so that law abiding citizens are covering the cost of the stolen goods or to cover security measures. If that doesn't work, they'll close the shop.
And while "X chain store losing a location" seems like it hurts nobody, it hurts the people employed there pretty directly. It also hurts the poorest members of society living nearby.
If a store closes, the more affluent members of society go to the next closest with an extra 10-20 minutes on their drive. The poorest members of society either spend more at a local competitor (with less competition to keep pricing fair) or they have an increased expense getting to the further shop and an increased inconvenience getting back with their shopping.
The unintended consequences of stealing from bigger stores hurt people on the bottom socioeconomic rungs of society just as much as stealing from a locally owned business.
@Aeternus_Nox 100% ! Higher wage earners can afford to shop further out , but less wealthy people who use that store can't . And people end up losing jobs
The counter thing reminds me of stores we had in Russia as I was a small child. There was not a single store where you could take the things you need by yourself. You had to ask for everything at the counter. It's not that inconvenient if there are just 10-20 kinds of items in the store 😅 one kind of milk, 2 kinds of cheese etc. But it takes a lot of time.
Later, in the end of the century, stores with open shelves started to emerge. But they had security men at the entrance, and you had to lock up your bag. And the security person would follow you around, looking around the corner in a creepy way.
It's not nice for anybody to be in a situation where the stores can't trust their customers.

The stores will be find, but the community barely exist now. It`s more a cluster of people.
Race isn't the problem, culture is the problem. It isn't just black people. Theft is a serious problem in the USA now days. From stealing Halloween Candy, porch theft, Door Dasherd taking food from their customers, etc etc.
Just need to start addressing it within your own communities.
It is not a racial problem, it is a cultural one and Black Redneck culture has ramped up its destructive tendencies lately. We need to call it out and not feel bad because these self-destructuve people look like us.
Muy culture is the problem and the fact they won't punish criminals.
Too quiet, IN retail stores. OF my race Seymour.
Back in the '80's there was a retail concept called the catalog store. There was one of everything on the shelf (usually just a non-operating display model or empty box). You wrote down the inventory codes for everything you wanted, you payed for it, then an employee collected your items in the stockroom and brought it out to you. With the advances in technology, this might just be a thing we see return.
That's like Britain's argos but no catalogue now technology to order
Back in the 80s there was a social concept called the law.
And it was enforced.
Maybe, just maybe, that might be just the thing we need to see return.

I worked at Walmart a couple years ago for about a short stint of a year (My actual career ended up at a standstill, so needed a job to tide me over). I was a lower tier manager during that time. One thing I will tell you about these security devices and cases, is that an item will be added to the list based on theft statistics. That's it. If people started stealing bread at a high rate, it would also be secured. These people need to work in these stores before they open their Tiktok university infused mouths.
its generally all done by UPC code as well.
@@joshsiddoway1223 True.
You are 💯 right. I used to be a store investor for target corp. Since I was in charge of that stores security I was the one who was responsible for locking items up. We would get lost and the items that had the highest theft rates, would get marked for being locked up. That’s how it’s decided. I never not once thought. “Geee, I’ll get those ppl that don’t look like me, I’ll ruin their day by locking up the items they will need and they will have to ask for someone to unlock it!!!” Anyone who believes that needs to see a doctor, that’s serious narcissistic. To believe that you are the center of other peoples universe when they don’t even know you.
You make an excellent point. For systemic racism to be a thing, you have to have racists on every level of an organization, everyday people willing to perpetuate the racist policy. Which simply doesn’t happen in our society anymore.
when mass looting stops the locks will go away also !!!
To solve this problem they either need to have an employee ready to follow the customers around in case they need to buy something or have them in each department to unlock the doors.
There used to be a store called service merchandise. Everything on the sales floor was a sample. You wrote down the product number and went to the cashier. Then, after being rung up, you went to another counter to pick up your merchandise. Everything came from shelves in the back. You never picked up anything off the shelves yourself.
Sounds like your standard trade store. When I did handyman stuff this was how it was at the plumbing, electrical and appliance part store. Those racists!
Argos operates on this model too. The shop is essentially just a room with catalogues to browse to find the codes for the items you want.
I loved Service! Was a fun shopping time as a kid!
They might need to bring this method back!
Consumers Distributing 1975-1990 it was great no issues getting the item 5 minutes in and out.
If people are told they are owed something for long enough they will end up taking it instead of working for it.
Working for things takes TIME.
I think it's instant gratification that causes this. And it's even more rewarding if it's effortless.
I just went to a department store to pick up a box cutter after mine fell apart. Find out that the item I want is behind a glass box. When I brought the employee over to open it up for me, they walked me over a couple aisles down to show me that the same knife I was looking for was hung up on a wing panel on the front of the aisle!
I'm in a very very rural area and we've had a explosion of homeless and crime. My Walmart has locking out razors and care produces
The scariest thing to me is that these people are so disconnected from reality that they don't understand it has nothing to do with race.
It's a report they get when they do inventory. If a certain item keeps showing up with a bunch of shrink (is stolen), it gets a lock.
It's not because black people like those items. It's because those items keep getting stolen.
You can draw whatever inferences you like from that, but it's not targeting anyone. It's trying to keep stock on the shelves. It's that simple
They dont care, these leftist wake up with the sole goal of finding racism at all costs. They dont care about cause and effect. They have shown time and time again that they are delusional and ignore any reality. The fact that their cities are becoming a shit hole becuase their logic attracts criminals and people who take advantage of these kinds of people.. somehow even after all THEIR laws get put into effect, its because racism.. 🤦🏻♂️
The makeup thing is hilarious because the system literally shows everyone which demographic is stealing the most makeup. 😂
@@Daniel-yl5jl1bi6q Oh, yeah. Clearly those computers are RACIST, because they don't make up lies about white make-up flying off the shelves, instead.
Thanks for clearing that up. Cause I was honestly wondering why there WERE locks on the dark makeup and not the light ones 🤷🏽♀️ I knew there had to be a reason, but Amala never gave us her input on that specifically.
@@estradavanessa82 cus you cant deny a certain race steal more than another.
I hate how they use the excuse of “Essential item” to allow them to steal. They literally set up tables in their neighborhood to sell them to the community. It would be one thing if they were just giving them out to their fellow neighbors but NO they are using them for money. They don’t care about each other.
They jus' tryin' tuh feed they family.
@@Crow_T_Robotthat mindset, if others can feed their family without stealing, why can't they? aparently they wan't an easy money,,
Lowes just started locking up electrical wire. So annoying yet also sad that it’s become necessary
In Japan some stores have no one working there, the shop is open and there is an open box for you to leave the money in!!!!
I've witnessed people put deodorant on in the store and put it back on the shelf like nothing happened. I've also witnessed people put laundry detergent into plastic water bottles, put them in their pockets and walk out the store. theft is theft. and that's why these items are behind glass. people keep stealing them.
Using deodorant and laundry products can present health & safety issues (alteration, etc).
My manager's son tried that with deodorant recently (in Ireland) and the store security guard escorted him to the till to buy the product he used!
I'm pretty sure the employee time (needed to unlock and lock the doors) is more expensive than the items occasionally stolen.
It's illogical.
And nothing to do with race; where did that come from?
I’m going to throw up.
I’ve seen an old lady in a grocery store open a can of jam, put her finger in it, lick it of her finger and do the same to the next jam on the shelf until she found one that she liked. Most disgusting store related memory I have.
