Same, can't go into a walmart anymore. They started right before the pandemic with treating everyone like a criminal. I get they have higher theft, but if you watch me checkout with a cashier, you don't need to go through every item in my cart and scan them with the hand scanner. I can't imagine their scan and go working any better.

The bifurcation of where the lower middle vs upper middle shops for general household items which both groups need is a notable trend. I typically shop at Target, but went to a Walmart for the first time in years. Everything is locked down. It's a demonstrably different experience, and it feels part of the trending inequality.

I’ve been into some targets that were really locked up. Depends on the area, but you’re absolutely right.

I highly doubt you are under any obligation to let them do this. If I were you I would have told them to get lost and would never return.

Yep, that's what I've done and they end up calling security and it ends up being a huge hassle since theres always cops outside. That's why I just wont go back.
