I worked at target for a bit and if I suspected someone was trying to steal something, especially from the baby section I'd find something else to do in another section, that way I wouldn't get fired and they wouldn't get caught. It was especially fun when I got called to backup cashiering and then I would sometimes end up checking them out and I'd pull some "mistake" so I could discount stuff further, always felt good at the end of those days. Another one was I would accidentally forget to scan some items that wouldn't trigger the doors (or a lot of times the doors were broken) and especially if they were paying with SNAP or WIC I would pull random discounts up
At Target? pretty much anything that's not spider wrapped, in electronics, or just other general hot commodities. It's hard to be specific because it's always kinda changing but (depending on your target ofc) if you can play it cool and only have like one thing that's free you can usually just be like "oh my bad must've missed that" and then pay for it. Be careful if you do steal from Target though because they do have a forensics lab and they go through the security cameras and keep a binder full of frequent shoplifters and they will call the police if you walk in and are in the binder
so basically of all the places to shoplift target might not be the best, I wish they were dumber but they full on arrest people and have plainclothes security walking around
:Care-Comrade: They told us to prioritize speed over everything while cashiering and so I just kinda ran with it. Not always but if you say that you think an item was <20% cheaper than the price that rings up they won't check they'll just go with your word but if the lines aren't like super long they'll probably walkie someone to check. Pretty much everyone got a discount of some kind unless they were a prick to me/obviously a chud (maga hats)

It looks like Target is one of the chains that tracks shoplifters until their cumulative
theftpraxis qualifies as a felony. Unbelievably scummy.https://losspreventionmedia.com/employees-claim-retailer-waits-to-arrest-shoplifters/
This is why the pigs call them in to teach them how to do it.
Also why that one target got torched lmao.
Fuck target.
this is 100% true
I guess something happened recently that caused these articles to pop up again. I remember hearing about it a couple years ago but have no idea where.
I first heard about it when the one in Minneapolis got cremated back in may or whenever
So now we know our limits
Kroger (and its subsidiaries) does this too.
Items without tags I think they mean
