Tonight I had to stop by Kmart to get a few things. One of which was my TN medication. Since it wasn't ready I roamed the mart aimlessly for about 45min. I visited the electronic department and saw the TV's I can't buy. I walked around the clothes section and saw underwear for sale. Then I stopped by the baby section to see if they had another gate like we have in the ktichen, but no. As I was leaving, I passed by the baby food and drink aisle. That's when I stopped and was amazed at what I saw.

The baby formula in powder form is under lock and key! WTF?!?! Does it have some alcohol content I'm not aware of? Do you now get carded if you want to buy a can of baby formula? There is beer and wine free for anyone to pick up and stock up, but the baby powder formula is behind locked glass??? Who knew the most dangerous stuff was in the baby aisle!

This just didn't make sense to me. It still really doesn't. I mean, is it because it's a popular item to steal? Not having a kid myself I am unaware of the powdered formula thefts or the black market retail value of this stuff. Hey, if it's behind a locked glass door, there must be a reason.

I just found this very odd.
