Nope. Not risking a ticket for you. If you're in that much of a hurry then leave a few minutes earlier.

You risk a ticket disrupting the flow of traffic too, so

Disrupting flow = subjective and something you could reasonably get thrown out in court.

Going over the limit = objectively breaking the law and not as much wiggle room for getting it thrown out.

It doesnt matter if youre doing the speed limit or not. If your arent passing traffic in the passing lane, youre supposed to move into the right lane.

No one is talking about traveling in the left lane.

My point stands.

Depends on how much I'm making.

In college, my roommate had an hour and a half commute each way. He was making good money (like, at least 70k in a really low CoL area), but the drive was killing him. For that kind of money, I would tolerate a hour each way at absolute most.

For minimum wage, absolutely no more than half an hour each way. I had the pleasure of working a lot of "short-shift" jobs in college where I would drive for 20 minutes to get there, work for 2-3 hours, and then drive 20 minutes back home. It sucked, and I barely made any money after factoring in the gas.

No, they don't. One is legitimate racism, and the other is just statistics.

You could argue both are statistics. It's not white people stealing the black hair products after all.

Why is one form of discrimination allowed but not the other?

1) You don't know that. White people could be stealing them to resell at flea markets.

2) One is based on the fact that the product is being stolen at a higher rate than other products. Hell, it's pretty racist that you automatically assume black people are the only ones stealing it.

I don't assume it. The store owners do. That's why loss prevention tends to follow black people. I assume innocent until proven guilty for everyone I meet

You just conflated two completely different points.

I don't think you really believe what you say. You have to be a hard right-winger posing as a SJW to undermine actual issues of racism.

If you want to address how people are racially profiled by LP (and yes, that is racist), we can talk about that separately from the issue of high theft items being locked up.

Thats idiotic. Theres no reason to arbitrarily lock up items that dont have a significant theft history. Its an unnecessary cost being trust on the stores that serves no purpose other than to appease irrational SJWs.

If haircare products have significant theft history, lock up haircare products. Just not specifically the black ones.

If Walmart has to pay an extra cost to not discriminate, make em pay it. The Walton family is worth over 90 billion dollars, they can take the hit.


What would you suggest if only the black hair care products are being stolen?

Locking up every single one at every wal mart would cost an arm and a leg and be unnecessary....

Hire an extra security guard

$7.25/hr minimum for every hour the store is open

-or-

Or neither.

If stores locked up all haircare products, they it'd be fine.

If stores specifically lock up black haircare products, they're basically saying "black people are thieves and we don't trust them" and thus are racist


If you're defining a haircare product that can literally be used by anyone as "black" in the first place, maybe you're the racist.

If a white person used black/"African" hair products, it would probably damage their hair.
