>action figures are now locked merchandise What the absolute fuck is wrong with you animals? Who is doing this?
>>11608152That only works up until you're a loose collector who doesn't give a shit, so you rip the cardback at the tab.
>>11608152They aren't where I live. Maybe you should look at the demographics of your area to figure out the reason stores need to do this.
>>11608169>Maybe you should look at the demographics of your area to figure out the reason stores need to do this.Yep. Bingo. I think it's insulting to have to ask someone for permission to unlock something so I can buy it, but at the same time I understand that other people's bullshit made it necessary.
>>11608169Brownoids.
>>11608169>>11608180>>11608181Figure Deserts will be the new thing.
>>11608265Stores should leave the shit they can't clear out for easy theft so they can write the full retail value off of their taxes.
>>11608289>No one wants to steal Eternals figuresGrim
>>11608169WalMart is the one doing this and only for some of the 'adult' collectibles in my area. Target seems hit and miss, even on LEGO - sometimes those are behind lock and key, others not. And parts of my area/demographics don't seem to be an issue. Albeit all the WMs in my County are in the shit hole parts of what is a very larger metro area. Whereas Targets are more widespread.Gamestop has also started putting some of their collectibles behind those hard plastic pieces covering the pegs, so you have to ask he clerk to unlock it to look at figures behind the one in front. It's more minor hassle than anything else.
>>11608289That's fraud, anon.
>>11608169I lived in St Louis for a while. The local Walmarts there kept all toys and alcohol inside locked glass cases.
>>11608152N!!!FACT!!!
>>11608169Just only the lego in my area has some stores lock em but thats it.
>>11608371Lego seems like not an easy thing to shoplift.
>>11608152>Who is doing this?You know goddamn well who is doing it. Every one knows.
>>11608181its the poor not the brown
>>11608605trump magapedes?
>>11608605Yep. There's no playing stupid with it. And that shit also helps raise the retail prices the rest of us pay to cover the losses. >>11608616Show me the videos of poor White people flash-robbing stores.
>>11608644WTF are you talking about? Whites are consistently taking what isn't theirs. No matter what class they are lumped in. There is no flash mob shit since they don't have identity or community. They love being the lone wolf. As your pal Ted. Or are you gong to denounced him because, muh white purity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drQxPqjxS4s
>>11608644You act like a white person has never robbed a bank. As if that would be beneath them or something.
>>11608644Get the fuck out of here, you racist.
>>11608765fuck off diosoth
>>11608779Truth isn't racist. >>11608765A rare outlier case, and they don't flash mob because they as a community don't promote and make excuses for stealing.
>>11608810>Truth isn't racist.>he's doubling down
>>11608810>make excuses for stealing.Not big on politics, huh?
>>11608796Who? I'm sorry, but I'm not your boyfriend.
>>11608616yep, I work retail and I deal with theft every goddamn day, I won't pretend black people don't steal but for every one of them there's two or three white methheads that do the exact same shit. shitty people don't suddenly become less shitty just cause you share a skin tone with them.
>>11608822Watch Mr. Racist make a bunch of excuses now.
>>11608811>>11608814You sling out slander, yet don't refute the fact that certain demographics are more prone to stealing than others. Well it wasn't White people who made thousands of stores nationwide close after getting looted to death.
>>11608843>don't refute the fact that certain demographics are more prone to stealing than othersYeh, poor people... poorer people shop at those stores. THINK, MCFLY!
>>11608846>THINK, MCFLY!A Back to the Future reference can only mean one thing: Michael is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_kaJeELVUhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/WzxOdG8hUuEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYIFr-n7E-ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBG-E5Y4vcchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Qqr-pKrn8https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZOumxmlC3f8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljS_W-pRxeAhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/JHLzCYlmxX8https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EoPMkk6MakAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D8y65IqYtshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50qXWSfozFII could go on all day because search results are in the thousands, but the point made is adequate, and the fact still stands that it wasn't White people who forces thousands of stores to close forever due to stealing. It's your own racism that feels the need to project it into everyone so people don't get their feelings hurt by getting called out on their bullshit while the rest of us have to deal with fucking locked cases for more and more stuff.
>>11608865>poor people steal>regardless of raceshocking, what's your point?
It's human nature to be ASSHOLES!!!!Treating other people like shit.You people are greedy and corrupt.LIE CHEAT and STEAL!!! It's the American way!!!
>>11608152Ever notice how you will walk pas about a dozen employees until the second you find a locked case. Then all of a sudden there are no employees for half a mile in any direction?
>>11608893>LIE CHEAT and STEAL!!! It's the American way!!!I thought that was the Mexican way?
>>11609076eddie's from texas pendejo
>>11608152When I see this I just tear the tab and then don't buy it lol
>>11608893It's more like "be smarter and more skilled than absolutely everyone aorund you if you want to get ahead"
>>11608893I don't think it is actually. When push comes to shove I think most people are actually nice. Natural disasters should tell you that. It benefits society as a whole to be like that.
>>11609902>Natural disasters should tell you thatEvery hurricane these days gets responded to with lots of store lootings. Very few people show kindness and decency in the temporary breakdown of law and order.
>>11609905I mean, there's looting, sure, but not on a wide scale if it's not already a hole like Haiti or something with a bunch of poor people. Shared vulnerability creates solidarity. Helping gives people a sense of purpose when their world gets turn upside down. There's been a ton of studies on this.
>>11609905I would argue a lot of that is media exaggerations. Who does it benefit to put out stories like that? Good news doesn't sell.
>>11609905>Very few people show kindness and decency in the temporary breakdown of law and order.Quite the reverse actually. Social norms flip and selfishness becomes unthinkable. Look up emergent norm theory.
>>11608152yeah which city is this? bet we can get can answer why real quick
>>11608296Walmart does this in my area even in the suburbs, though mostly with high theft items like baby food, diapers, electric toothbrushes, contraceptives and lube. It does seem like it’s slowly overtaking the store though, years ago nothing was locked up at all.
>>11609967>baby food, diapers, electric toothbrushes, contraceptives and lubeIn the suburbs?
>>11609970yeah, the inner city dystopian hell is slowly extending outwards
