Walmart is locking up steaks in some locations to prevent people from stealing them. The store is also allegedly opting *out* of self-checkout in some locations and making everyone check out with real workers. "Baby, this is when you know it's bad. When they put miniature gates so you don't steal the meat. This got to be bad, Lord Jesus..." the woman posted. Video: solid_soul83 on TT.
