It looks like a walmart in denver was locking hair products of colored folk behind glass. My guess would be that these are the items that tend to get stolen. Im curious how a store is supposed to deal with theft without being accused of racism 🤔

DENVER (CBS4) – A Walmart customer says its location in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood discriminates against people of color after noticing only multicultural hair products locked behind glass in her local store.

“If I want Suave or Tresumme or Pantene, it’s out. The multi-cultural hair care is all locked behind the glass. That’s so ridiculous,” said Lauren Epps, a black woman looking to purchase a scarf for her hair.

Multicultural products are made specifically for textured hair, designed for people of color. Epps says it’s frustrating that women with finer hair get the luxury of browsing and reading product descriptions, while she feels pressured to make an immediate choice.

“I’m the kind of shopper who needs to look at things, read things. It’s awkward because you’re forced in the moment to grab it,” explained Epps. “People don’t realize what we have to go through on a daily basis.”

After Epps waited for an employee to unlock the glass, the employee began to reach for a portable locked case to put the item Epps selected inside.

Epps refused and left the store without purchasing the scarf.

“I’m not going to be shamed into thinking I’m a criminal for just wanting to get a scarf. This is very blatant because the heading above that aisle says ‘Multicultural Hair Care.’ They are saying that people, who are a different culture, need their stuff to be locked up,” said Epps.

Wow it's only February, 2021 delivers as predicted. Can't protect your stuff cuz POC might wanna cancel you for doing that LMFAO

This is such an American thing.

Civil rights were a great idea and worked as intended.

WalMart ended this practice back in September of last year. The Duffington Post needs to assess its fact-checking.

Unlock them and increase the price of products for white people to offset any loss. Problem solved.

The woman complaining is obviously one of the thieves
