Allure reached out to Walgreens and received the same statement.The following day, that CVS shared a statement with them reading, "We have a firm nondiscrimination policy that applies to all aspects of our business and our product protection measures have never been based on the race or ethnicity of our customers. After reviewing the security measures we have in place for many different products and categories, we are taking steps in our stores to ensure that no hair, beauty, or personal-care products for communities of color are kept in locked displays or shelving units."A video shared by Walmart shopper Lauren Epps summarizes why this shift is so needed at any and all stores that lock up products intended for certain shoppers.
