Does this person not realise that it as nothing to do with racism, but because Superdrug is experiencing a large amount of stock mysteriously disappearing from the Black & Asian hair section?

Huderon, //Naomi in the Superdrug store I have just mentioned the total number of black and Asian hair products is somewhere around the 100 mark. //
You’ve counted? Gosh! And none of those products are multi-cultural? I reckon there’s a complaint there somewhere - if anyone cares to look closely enough.

Naomi, if you pose a question and don't like the answer, that's your problem. No I haven't counted them but I have seen that section often enough to know there are 10 shelves with something like 9 or 10 products per shelf - feel free to work it out for yourself.
As for any of them being multi-cultural, I wouldn't know, though I do know one of my daughters uses some hair products aimed at the black and Asian market, and since she is neither black nor Asian I suppose you could say they are multi-cultural.

Huderon, I don’t dislike your answer – I’m genuinely surprised that there are 100 different products in that one section. However, since your daughter uses some of them they can’t be solely for use by black and Asian people. The shop shouldn’t have apologised but should place similar signs on all the other shelves too.
Christmas before last I found 16 bottle security tags under the soft seating area in Morrisons cafe (where I work). £15 x 16 = £240 against £3.00 x £16 = £48
The warning signs should be scattered about the shop but also maybe extra where the expensive products are. That's just common sense.
Are black and Asian products demonstrably more expensive?

Has anyone thought that 'Black and Asian hair products' may be more expensive than other hair products? So just as with make up the expensive items are better protected against theft?
One of my granddaughters has 'Afro Caribbean' hair and her Mum is always complaining that her hair products are more expensive than ordinary ones.

Naomi, my apologies for misunderstanding your post.
After a quick search I found an estimate for last year which said that the black and Asian hair care market in the UK was worth around £4.2 billion (I'd guess that is at retail sales prices). That's a fair amount of money, so it's hardly surprising that some of the high street retailers will provide products aimed at that market.

So have Superdrug said the signs were there because they are experiencing a large amount of stock mysteriously disappearing from the Black & Asian hair section? or have you assumed that or made it up?
No but Xavy Wright did:
/// The marketing worker claimed that the signage in the store at the main railway station in the East Sussex city suggested only black people were likely to steal. ///

AOG - Your OP is a suggestion, as is the point made by the shopper in question.
There is no evidence whatsoever that the store staff were motivated by racism in the location of their signs, and there is similarly no evidence that Superdrug is experiencing a large amount of stock 'mysteriously' disappearing from the Black & Asian hair section.
The shopper is deriving a conclusion from evidence that she wishes to interpret a certain way.
You are doing exactly the same thing.

Neither is there any evidence that Superdrug is not. //
Indeed, so we can either go round in circles arguing that, or accept that this particular aspect of the story is simply a distraction, and ignore it.
