“May have” and “exaggerated”? They fucking did lie.
I wish there was punishment for a company lying for their own interests
I work at a target and if anything, they’re actively encouraging theft. We used to have a secure lockup for electronics and they just rebuilt it to be an aisle you can climb into in a minute. Yet they complain there’s nothing they can do 🤦
Having to search a store and wait for someone to open up locks is a pain in the ass and drives away customers.
This. I would much rather wait 2-3 days for an item to be delivered from Amazon or something than spend 5 minutes awkwardly trying to get someone’s attention to unlock a stupid case.
I also suspect that they mark up the prices for goods they encourage to be stolen. I was in a Walgreens and saw some Stridex pads for $22 (they go for around $4.50 on Amazon). That way if it gets stolen they can claim huge losses.
So here is the facts about this. Worked at walmart and 4 pallets of aluminum foil were never delivered. Same pallet on 3 reorders.
So management raised the price to like 5 bucks a roll when they sell for 99 cents. Ran it that way for a month then marked the lost pallets as shrinkage.
how long ago was this, the system doesn’t let store level raise prices higher than HO, they can only lower, so if they did something like this in the last at least 7 years it was initiated at home office level lol
Obligatory shoplifting always has been and always will be a bullshit excuse
If Books Could Kill had a bonus episode about this a few weeks ago. Partial audio here:
