| - I've been visiting this Target location for years and for the most part, they're fine... When I was ready to make my purchases yesterday by register 1, I noticed the lady in front of me was cleverly hiding items in her basket and strategically placed her carriage behind her so the cashier wouldn't take notice. She also had placed her large purse to cover up as well. As the cashier handed her the items she chose to actually pay for, she covered up the stolen goods. I had my 2 young kids with me so I tried discretely letting her know what this lady was up to.
& Let me add, she had a s**t ton of credit cards in her wallet and tried paying with TWO that didn't go through. What are the odds these are stolen cards? I realized then, Target does NOT ask for identification the way everywhere else does.. She also had a side kick watching her by the door. I think it's easy to assume, this was not their first round...
As she walked out, she called out to her and she ended up paying for two quite large items on the bottom of her carriage. Again, I alerted the cashier and pointed to the stolen items, however she seemed a bit squeamish to directly ask to see her carriage. To the point where I said, "she's walking out the door with unpaid items, are you really going to let her walk out?" She smiled and let me know she hit an alert button for security and they would stop her at the door. I walked out a few minutes later where I saw the THEIF loading up her black 2002 Lexus and took her sweet time. No one approached her and it seemed that what I had pointed out wasn't a big deal.
It pisses me off that people can Blatantly get away with theft like that. Seriously... GET A JOB!!!
Still bothered that the Target employee didn't do anything about it, I called the store to see if they actually did anything and needed any more info. After all, I saw the two ladies outside. I let the operator know, she tried finding a few different people in both security and management and after several minutes of holding, ended up taking a message. It's now after 8pm and I think it's safe to say, this location doesn't care too much about security so I decided to post it here hoping someone would see it and change something so thief's wouldn't feel so comfortable "shopping" at Target anymore. And after all this, I think I'll be shopping at another location from now on. Disappointed to say the least.
