Shopping post-Covid is getting to be a strange experience. Sometimes it’s just completely empty shelves.

We’re looking at you toilet paper section.

Sometimes it’s crazy people coming in and shouting. Sometimes it’s fights.

But what seems to be most common: thieves.

One TikTok user documented her un-welcoming experience in a recent Walmart.

It does seem a little glass-half-store-only?

She says that “Walmart allegedly has customers thanking them for locking up merchandise.”

She continues to stroll down the deserted aisles, with cabinets filled, behind locked glass panels.

She continues, explaining that the whole experience felt “strange and unwelcoming”.

She then moves on to show that the rest of the store is completely normal, no glass barricades up anywhere.

It does feel a bit targeted, that only women’s products are inconveniently protected.

And then to top it off, it’s usually impossible to find an employee to come back over and unlock that single cabinet!
