Seems unlikely shops are locking up items to inconvenience people of a specific skin type.

right, its things people of color are stealing or fencing for people of color, and its still a lame user experience to be inconvenienced by a corporate response in that specific way

its obviously just a stop gap solution to exiting the market entirely since these stores no longer operate in a market based economy where property rights are enforced, so just close up instead of operating a crippled store hanging on by a thread, inconveniencing random swaths of their remaining customers just because an excel spreadsheet said so
