Quick question, why is it locked? It's not like it fits in your pocket.
Do people steal gallons of detergent somehow?

Our local Walmart locks up a lot of shaving related stuff .. including the Barbasol and Equate shave creams that are under $2.

The ability to have clean clothes shouldn't be locked behind glass. Crazy that the capitalists of america think this is OK.

There was a social media trend showing blacks transferring detergent from one container to another to completely fill one.

Thus even though they're paying for it, they're still stealing and screwing over the next person.

first time I saw that was 10 or so years ago in a Safeway out in Seattle, had to lock up the tide balls to keep the hippies from stealing them

They steal the detergent and hope for a “clean” getaway.

I remember once ringing the bell at Walmart so I could get my personal lube.

After the third ring, a loud “for god sakes I’m coming” from one aisle over.

Did they make an announcement over the loud speaker. "Customer needs assistance at the family planning aisle."

I’m pressing the button. So far no results.

I don’t think anybody is working. Nobody at register either. So people at pharmacy but they don’t want to be bothered.

You should be a real American and buy your detergent at Dollar General.

Are you a troll or just determined to blame literally everyone except the thieves?

Why buy there, if there is a Sams or a Costco nearby, you could save a mint by buying detergents in bulk especially if it is on sale.

I was looking at bird seed at Walmart and for a small 5 lb bag it was like 5 dollars, but a 40 lb bag it was 20 dollars. You can save by buying in bulk.
