Fred Meyer welcomes every customer who walks in our door, a spokesperson for the grocery chain told Yahoo in a statement. Additionally, we train our associates to embrace diversity and inclusion and want to show respect to every customer, and one another, every day. We periodically review items that may require additional security measures. Decisions about product access in our stores are data-driven on a store by store basis. While this case appears to be limited to this one store location, we are reviewing the data with an eye toward our values.

According to the spokesperson, in addition to the hair products, the store locks up things like power tools, electric toothbrushes, razors, pens, bicycle accessories, and other sporting goods.

Baby formula is also kept in private areas, you need to go to the front with a slip saying which one you want at my grocery store, that stuff is super expensive.

Stating that racial groups commit crime at different rates is offensive to some people. Even though it's factually accurate.

I'm not sure why it's always whites who get the blame, though, other than that this is the most socially acceptable group to attack among left-wing circles. Whites still commit crime at a higher rate than Asians.

Men's razors are the same way, and those are always locked up.

There have been stories before about black hair products being locked up, and leftists wanted the store to either just leave them unlocked and accept the theft or lock up all hair products in order to make things fair.

Yeah, normally I'm super progressive but this is a case of fair/next. Suggesting retailers can't lock up a highly shoplifted product because "das racist" is just dumb.

I'd be fine with this. Hair dye is also another highly shoplifted product, but the stuff is so cheap they just don't care. Pretty sure actually high quality hair dye (not the cheap shit like Revlon) is already kept behind glass where I live.

When is it not the fault of white people? Even if a white person had nothing to do with it is still because of the white people. Sometimes white is put in front of a persons race like white Hispanic.

I know I've seen this topic more than once. This story is just going to keep popping up every few months from random victim-complex rubes trying to convince people it's racist to add extra security to the items people literally cannot stop fucking stealing at a much higher rate than any other item in the store, isn't it?

So when I go buy a game and it's locked in a cabinet or the case is on the shelf but doesn't have the disc in it can I cry racism too? I've got as much evidence that it must be racism as them.

Both true. I cringe every time my girlfriend says she's out of conditioner etc. Not only is it expensive but black/mixed hair takes a ton of product to maintain.

fred meyer locks up the video games behind a case. to get something from it gotta ask an employee which one you want and they will get it for you.

i think it's for the better since i know that the product i bought will be there. have gotten a tekken gameboy advance game that happened to be filled with rocks instead of the product it was a hard time explaining to get my refund back when i wasn't the one who put that stuff there.

For pretty much the same reason that baby formula is stolen more than box-milk.
It's a niche (nigh captive-audience) product that's consistently overpriced.
