A WALMART customer has slammed the retailer after realizing all of the women’s body wash was subject to the chain’s latest anti-theft measure.
The shopper recorded the aisle full of women’s soaps that were put behind a glass at Walmart.

“This is the most annoying thing ever,” the disgruntled customer said in her recent TikTok video.
The shopper (@gtvibes) had to click a button for assistance and pointed out how the men’s soaps had not been locked up in a display case like the women’s.
“The men’s own is open, but the female [soap is] locked up” she claimed.
There was a button to push for assistance, but that did not make the situation better for the TikToker.

“You got to wait long, long, long, for somebody to open the cage so you can get something to bathe with,” she said.
Commenters felt similarly to the poster, with some saying they were deterred from shopping if their items were behind a glass.
“I don’t shop anywhere that locks up my products,” wrote one person.
“This gets on my nerves,” another person wrote.

Walmart customers have been speaking out in recent months as more items have had to be locked up from customers.
One person noted on X (formerly known as Twitter) that their local store was now keeping false eyelashes behind the glass.
“Walmart is locking up lashes now. Nobody ever thought about locking up thieves instead?” the user wrote.
She posted a video showing the range of false eyelashes that were now kept away from customers.
“It’s pretty sad when Walmart has to lock their lashes up because of theft. [They] also put it in this lockbox so you have to get assistance for it, that’s crazy,” she explained in the clip.
Other customers have even reported that underwear was now being locked away at their local Walmart.
“Walmart has their underwear locked up behind a glass case now. Why y’all stealing that, don’t you know it’s free to go commando?” he asked.
When speaking to local news stations on the matter, shoppers have voiced how this has made their shopping experience much harder.
Curtis Edwards, who frequents Walmart, believes this will be a major inconvenience for him.
“I got to call somebody to come up from the counter to get socks,” Edwards told local NBC affiliate KNTV.
Another shopper was disappointed that the store needed to get to that level of security.
“It comes to the point of how ghetto does it look that they have to lock up the socks or whatever it is that they have under the key,” shopper Olga Leon said.
However, with retailers reporting large amounts of shoplifting within their stores, these anti-theft measures are likely to continue.

“Retailers are seeing unprecedented levels of theft coupled with rampant crime in their stores, and the situation is only becoming more dire,” said National Retail Federation Vice President for Asset Protection and Retail Operations, David Johnston.
