WALMART CUSTOMER SAYS SHE HAS TO DO 3 DIFFERENT TRANSACTIONS WHILE SHOPPING IN-STORE

In response to fears about shoplifting, some stores have opted to barricade certain sections of the store or place various products behind glass, meaning that getting to the thing you need requires you to find an employee to unlock a case — and, in some cases, pay for the product in question then and there.

Now, TikTok user Makayla (@moonrants) has sparked discussion after posting a video complaining about this phenomenon.

“I’m in Walmart right now. If I want to buy something from cosmetics — which, I was going to buy a lip gloss, I’m going to buy a video game, and I’m going to buy all my other groceries and stuff, I have to do 3 separate transactions,” she explains.

In the comments section, many users agreed with her point. “And now they’re locking up everything,” a user wrote. “I wanted to buy false lashes and had to ask a worker to unlock a case they store them in.”
