New automatic gates at the entrance of some H0me D3p0t stores. The top photo shows the gates opened when you walk into the store. Second photo shows how the gates close & they claim that an alarm will sound if you push them. The next 3 photos show the new devices on the shopping carts that claim to lock, if you exit the wrong way.

Lotta Walmarts have similar gates, as I'm sure other big box marts do. Tested the exit a few days ago. They don't open, obvi, and an "alarm" does sound, but it's just, like, a few quick beeps. Similar to rf gate alarms, but even less urgent. Def stops walking out with a cart load, and who knows what HD has theirs set to do, but that's my experience for whatever its worth.
