- satvikpendem 4y agoThey track how much you've shoplifted over time and once it hits felony level amounts, then they charge you. From the below articles: > "[If] you take a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff, they're gonna be like 'Bye gorgeous. You have a great day.'" > However, the self-identified ex-employee said that there is a catch - if the shoplifting becomes a pattern, Target allegedly takes action, as they track stolen items. > Hannah claimed that the company waits "until you're thousands and thousands of dollars in debt" to "put you behind bars." > This would generally make the stealing a felony-level charge. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/target-thefts-shoplifting-charges/ https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/target-thefts-shoplifti... https://www.the-sun.com/news/6797941/target-employee-theft-stealing-registers-self-checkout/ https://www.the-sun.com/news/6797941/target-employee-theft-s...
