- greedo 3y agoSo Target claiming their closing stores across the nation due to their lies about shoplifting etc doesn't connect in your mind to this? https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/26/business/target-retail-theft-store-closures/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/26/business/target-retail-theft-... "Target is closing nine stores in major cities across four states, claiming theft and organized retail crime have made the environment unsafe for staff and customers – and unsustainable for business." Yet the NYT article says: "Target’s chief financial officer, Michael Fiddelke, said shrinkage had reduced the company’s profit margin by more than $400 million in 2022," as justification for closing stores. Yet their data was BS as shown in the NYT article.
