Reply to comment by gullible_guy in The Walmart at the Waterworks Mall is closing in November by James19991

A few years ago the one in Robinson started locking up their men's underwear shortly after implementing the self-checkout lane. Bonkers. Like I'm not even going to look at electronics in a Walmart because you can never find an associate to unlock the case for you, I'm most certainly not going to deal with the hassle of doing that for a 5 pack of Hanes.

I'm sure Walmart has a formula of shrinkage vs staffing where it's still in their favor to let people walk off with stuff. Sounds like this store tipped the scale too far.

They also have what I like to call the prison gates at the entrance which don’t let you go back out through the entrance should you not find what you’re looking for.
