I like to play the game called 'spot the major local demographic' based off how grocery stores are structured.
The same exact chain can have radically different appearance and structure depending on who they're selling stuff too.
Near a ghetto? Not really different than your typical grocery store, complete with all the liquor kept 'locked up'(IE, behind the service counter.) Good neighborhood with a decidedly white majority? Like an open-air market/buffet(except indoors) with a massive alcohol section with all the good stuff on easy access and display.
Over the last couple years the grocery stores in my area installed those gates that won't allow you to leave the store without setting off an alarm so people have to leave through the checkout areas. That coincided with the explosion of the nonwhite population, which I'm sure had nothing to do with it. /s
The grocery store where I live has 0 security (beyond probably having break in alarms)
There is nothing locked away, there isn't a machine at the exit that beeps of you steal, no guns behind the counter, some of their stuff is outside and could be stolen if you're just sneaky enough.
I'm not even sure if they have surveillance and yet I've never heard of them having been stolen from.
There have been times when people ask to come around later to pay for stuff they pick-up, usually when change isn't available.
I'll let you guess the local demographic based solely on that.
Yes.

Try it some time.

To be clear, my post was entirely sarcastic.
Any area where black people become more than a single percent of the population becomes shit very quickly. The higher it goes the worse it is.
