There's some multipack items at walmart where the individual items are coded
for single sale in the system but they never are in the cases up front.
water and sports drinks.  I think a lot of the theft happens there.

They are also shutting down neighborhood walmarts around me because they say they aren't money makers.  I've always seen tons of people at walmarts.
I think theft is HUUUUGE due to bidenomics/build back better.
