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.

This is very common in the US. The biggest issue isn’t feeling shameful or shy, it’s that employees will take 30+ minutes to help you. Sometimes it’s basically impossible to find assistance. This definitely harms younger people more than couples. A teenager isn’t going to go through all of that trouble, especially if they’re nervous already. Same goes for a young girl there by herself during a pregnancy scare.
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.
Totally.
