She told me the 3 most commonly stolen items in Walmart are:
Black hair care products Laundry detergent Baby formula
So is it racist? In a sense, yes. Is it also sometimes necessary? Yes.
It's not every Walmart that does it either. Only the ones in predominantly black neighborhoods, which is another level of sad cringe.
As someone with kids, I can understand baby formula being commonly stolen. That shit is expensive. No wonder they have cameras right over your should in that aisle.
Actually, it's most often stolen to be resold on black market. ---
