Remember, when you see someone shoplifting, no you didn’t.

Everything should be free. Allow taking as much as one wants (within reason & as you are able to do now under capitalism) for as long as things are instock, of course their should be checkout counters to make sure things are not running low, measure popular itens, to keep in stock etc. Needing currency to get what you need or want is silly.
indeed
Fun fact, scopes, gun attachments, and some ammunition aren’t locked behind cages at Walmart. The gun rack doesn’t even have an attendant 95% of the time, you can just walk up.
You know what is locked behind bulletproof glass? Baby formula. Diapers. Toothpaste. Condoms. Shampoo. Bar soap. Plan B pills.

Socks and underwear
Pants and undershirts

Racism, pure racism… :(
I was just gonna say that this has to be an urban segregation thing. Our Walmarts where I am at are mostly in predominately white neighborhoods. We don’t have anything really behind glass except tobacco. Meanwhile our PoC dominant neighborhoods have barred windows on their gas stations and liquor stores. These are also coincidentally the most underfunded neighborhoods. Yet our Walmarts are by half a million dollar homes. It’s by design but I think that is preaching to the choir. Solidarity for my PoC comrades.:(
Gosh that’s messed up. Then they turn around and say that “POC are violent” when the underfunding of services leads to desperation, lost hope etc then the violence probqbly starts after being treated so badly
I wasn’t even really aware of this here until I joined in the marches after George Floyd was murdered. Started working a bit more with our local PoC figures and it became an eye opener. I try to help where I can with drives and awareness but with being vaguely involved with local politics, when funding for these areas get brought up it always falls in dead ears. They tried to get money for a park and cleaner water but we really needed a new baseball stadium instead, ya know?

Yes, I am near a city in the US with a 60% black population.
It used to be a bustling hub with a population of 600,000 and it was a gleaming heart of transport, steel manufacturing, and industry.
As black people moved to the city, white flight began, and now the city is a shell and husk of its former self. A population of 50,000 is all that remains, all the industry has left and has rotted away, and the stores are all barricaded and closed down.
The black population are basically interned in a city turned into an massive camp, by police officers that come from wealthier neighborhoods outside the city. The neighborhoods surrounding the city have houses worth 5+ million dollars but they are separated from the city by bridges, highways, and impassable obstacles so that you can only each them by car.
The irony is palpable. Only probably 10% live in the rich houses. The rest live in hovels on the outskirts of the rich neighborhoods, and they delude themselves that they are part of the “in group”.

Is there a difference?
Yes, black hair requires very specific and specially formulated products then white hair, as the texture, roots, and form are completely different. White hair products would wreck havoc on black hair.
What about the other way around?
Depends on the texture and thickness of your hair. But more often then not you would not want to use black product as it would ruin fine textured hair.
Some products can be used by many hair types, but the vast majority are for one hair type or another.
Gosh … This is depressing … Especially when it’s daily needs being locked up. Pure cruelty
It’s done on purpose. It’s things people need to survive. Clothing, baby food, sexual protection, toothpaste.
They know it’s cruel. But they don’t care, they know you have to buy those products, so they’ll squeeze every last penny they can get out of you, even if it’ll kill you.
