It's not uncommon for retail and grocery stores to lock up certain items to prevent theft, but a Walmart in Florida is reportedly taking extra precaution in the meat department.
According to a viral TikTok, the Walmart in Florida is protecting its ribeye steak from being stolen by wrapping it in security wire.
Walmart appears to be doing everything it can to prevent someone from shoplifting the steak, which costs $20.83, according to its price tag.
The video has nearly 200,000 likes on TikTok with about 22,000 comments so far.
"Yo, you gotta be kidding me," the TikTok user said. "Walmart now has the steak locked up... It's come to this. This is getting bad now, man."
Fox Business reached out to Walmart for a comment, but has not gotten a response.
It's not the first time that Walmart has locked up products, as they received backlash for locking up "multicultural" personal care items behind glass cases, according to USA Today. In 2018, a California woman sued Walmart after she found personal care products locked away on three separate occasions. The lawsuit was later dropped.
