I once waited 20 mins in the Walmart camping section for an associate to come and open the propane gas cylinders cabinet. I noticed other people in other aisles also waiting for locked up items.

I left and went to Target where I was able to grab all the camping supplies I wanted from the shelves and checkout. I avoid Walmart since that day, as almost everything is locked up.

Interesting, the closest target to me has stuff locked up like that. It's in a rough part of town, so I suppose it's just location based for all chains. It seemed like things that would be beneficial to the homeless had priority in the locked cases.
A lot of us thought we lived in a nice part of town and are discovering we live in the rough part of town.
The rough part sprawled and the stores got more hostile while raising prices
