Just noticed while shopping today that Walmart locked up the family planning products. This includes pregnancy tests which I think should not have another barrier to getting them. The same with birth control like condoms. I really doubt a lot of young couples are going to want to get staff to help them access such personal things like condoms and lube.

That is strange. Is it a high theft location? Is everything else locked up? Condoms should be on the bottom of the list of things you need to secure. In a place where the condoms are behind glass, I’d expect the Tide to be in a vault and the Electronics to be offsite.

It’s the uptown location. And personally I believe if someone needs to steal a pregnancy test, they probably really need that pregnancy test and it shouldn’t be locked up. Things like that being locked up just seems cruel.
