Please post your best tip for shoplifting.
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
It looks like Target is one of the chains that tracks shoplifters until their cumulative theft praxis qualifies as a felony. Unbelievably scummy.

: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)
