If you’ve been in a Walmart store lately, you know that A LOT of products are now locked up in glass cases.

And it can be a real pain in the neck to find an employee to help you out…

But maybe things are about to get a bit easier in that department.

A TikTokker named Jen posted a video on the social media platform and showed viewers how Walmart is testing out digital keys for employees to get into locked cases in stores.

The video shows that Jen opened up a security case in Walmart with her phone instead of using a key.

The screen on her phone has the heading “Digital key.”

The screen reads, “Hold your device near a digital lock.”
