Firstly wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday season.. sometimes you
experience something and you feel compelled to share it with a chat group,
even though it’s not relevant to what we normally chat about… In this case,
I’m talking about an experience I had at a Target retail store.. This was
at their 42 nd st NYC location..you may have heard in the news that Target
among other retailers is experiencing a high incidence of store theft,
which they say is affecting their bottom line.. firstly, I went into the
store to buy some bar soap… I was surprised I had to get somebody to open a
locked cage to buy this… I could understand things like razor blade
cartridges which tend to be expensive, etc. but bar soap… OK then I asked
the fellow that opened the cage for me if there was a bathroom in the
store? He replied yes But it was closed now… Really why is there a plumbing
problem I asked him. no, he said the junkies go in there to shoot up after
4 o’clock so it’s not safe… OKkkk… I then proceeded to the self checkout
all the machines were being used, so I waited behind a person to watch this
person put about 10 items on the scanner and then put them in a bag without
paying for them. Not sure how that works, and then finally, as I was
proceeding to exit the store I noticed three New York City police officers
at the escalator, a teenager started to walk up the escalator with a pile
of stuff in a basket. One of the officers approached him, and said you got
to be kidding… The kid dumped all the stuff on the floor and ran up the
escalator and started cursing and flipping the bird to the officer… I
thought maybe the officer would radio or chase him, but just told him to
get out.. we all read a lot of stuff in the news, but living the moment is
a different experience
