Customers react with astonishment to the extreme security measure applied to meat cuts in the U.S.

Walmart customers are increasingly surprised by the methods the chain is using to prevent theft. A recent video posted by a TikTok user, identified as @solid_soul83, went viral showing the store’s meat section surrounded by wire structures, like small cages. The post, made on April 8, has already surpassed 1.9 million views and sparked a broad discussion on social media.

“This is when you know the situation is critical,” commented the video’s author.

Although the scene caused astonishment, the strategy isn’t exactly new. In 2022, a similar video drew attention by showing reinforced security measures in the same section.

Another record, posted by user @oakwood19136, shows a package of Angus steaks worth $20.83 locked inside a metal cover. Visibly outraged, the man reacts: “You’ve got to be kidding me. Now Walmart has locked up even the steaks. Is this serious?”

The video, which was filmed at a Florida location, has garnered over 8 million views and generated thousands of comments, many criticizing the fact that such a common product is under enhanced security. This measure highlights the growing concern in retail about losses due to theft, even for basic items.
