I think we are all aware that the world has gotten really awful for retailers. They are trying to deal with a rising amount of theft. How to deal with it is an issue. Here is the latest product to go under lock and key.

The Nerd Stash says a Michigan Walmart is locking dog treats in glass cases because of shoplifters.  Shoppers now need an associate to open the case to access the snacks. Some speculate that it's a tactic to encourage online shopping over in-store purchases. Some Walmarts also lock up deodorant, perfume, and underwear to prevent shoplifting 

The Internet reacts  … 

“Has it gotten so bad that we are locking up $3.99 box of bones?” 

“Is this a thing now or was a just in a ruff part of town?” 

“To be fair, dogs rarely have self control and will steal food”
