For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

Last time I was in walmart, which was admittedly a couple years ago, the mens boxers were locked up. The women’s section was normal. That’s the first time I’d seen something locked up that wasn’t alcohol or potential drug paraphernalia (steal wool, razors). Rather dystopian.
I believe it's just lazy loss prevention targeting items that go missing frequently.
Yeah I’m sure it’s straight up based on inventory discrepancies but still dystopian that people need to steal underwear. Walmart should just work it into their charitable donations fund.
We're talking about the company that insists their employees to use food stamps.
