A San Jose Walmart has reportedly taken anti-theft measures to a new level, placing pricey cuts of beef and even packages of ground meat inside metal security cages to keep would-be shoplifters at bay. Influencer Tony Bartleson - better known online as “Meatdad” - posted a video from inside the California store showing rib-eye steaks and ground beef wrapped in wire security devices.
A 'Meat Influencer'? We've passed insane in to another realm...
Anyway, Holding up a cowboy rib-eye priced at nearly $16 a pound (which ain't such a bad price, acually), Bartleson quipped: “Welcome to California.”
The unusual security measures sparked fierce debate online, with many shoppers saying they understood why the retailer resorted to locking up meat.
With people stealing left and right as if it's some kind of given privilege, I don’t blame Walmart for doing this. If you’re an honest person who plans to pay for it, why would this bother you. Look around - there's thieves and scumbags everywhere around you…
Why would it bother me?!
ReplyDeleteWell,first off having the meat locked up says I live in a shithole and that thieves are not prosecuted,thus,I have to pay more for my meat and also,have to wait while some employee can be found to unlock the case!
That said,I live in a good area(at moment!) and do not shop for groceries at wally world.
Somehow I don't think this will deter or even slow down the myriad professional shoplifters.
