>>55005229
one of the whole selling points of target is that it feels safer to shop their for middle class white women, this means they have less present security cuz security frightens middle class white women. so the low class black women figured this out and are now taking advantage of it, also middle class white women are now low class since everyone is poorer so they steal also.

>>55005229
I guess, but most stores don’t immediately confront shoplifters or press charges unless the shoplifter has multiple thefts on file, in which case they can receive a bigger compensation in court.
Problem is I doubt many shoplifters steal enough to reach the cutoff and they can theoretically just shoplift from different Targets to dodge profiling.
So I guess the minor unreported shoplifting built up after a while.

Trick is to scan something heavy and cheap and simultaneously move a light object into the bag
Example, scan a 4 pack of redbull and move it into bag with a bag of gourmet cheese
You can practice at home. Worst case if you get caught just play the dumb boomer card of "oops I thought they would both scan haha"

[Anonymous No.55005547]

Alternatively do the 2 for 1 trick
You like those pouches of tuna or pasta meals? Scan 1 with a 2nd one on top of it

Also do this sparingly and at stores you don't regularly go to. Don't be the dumb nigger that goes to county jail because you thought you could steal from a store you go to daily. If you happen to be in some city 3 towns away, go to the local fred meyer or Safeway during work rush-hour

[Anonymous No.55005652]

>>55005586
sometimes yes. If you get a "please scan each item before placing it in the bagging area" robo call that is your signal to just scan the rest of items. If the robot call goes off a few times the wagie will have to scan their ID card when you go to pay, at that point you could get called out depending how much of a work horse the wagie is
>>55005602
My go to is using redbull or items in a glass container and then pairing it with something cheap like a candy bar or meal packs. I'm kinda a pussy. I would think bags of jerky would be the best food item in terms of cost/weight ratio but I'd imagine they would be more alert if you did this at the same store multiple times

[Anonymous No.55005677]

Ti reiterate
Do this when they are busy
Do this away from your regular stores
And bonus, pay attention if another customer has beer products. The wagie will have to walk away from computer that flashes inconsistencies to run their ID on the machine

There's roughly 2000 targets in the US (1954 is the actual number).
So $500M in total is $250k per store on average.

$250k / 365 days = $684 per store lost or stolen per day.

I had a friend who was a kleptomaniac. Every time we went to a store he had to steal something. He would constantly steal stuff even if he didn't even really want it. I don't think it was about money or politics to him, I think he just got a sense of power out of the thrill of it or something.
Anyways, Target is where he eventually met his downfall. They pulled him into a room and told him they had him on camera stealing and that he was done. Had to wait in the office until the cops came to pick him up and was charged.

Research determined that the AI behind the facial recognition software was biased because it was created by racists who inserted their subconscious white prejudices in the code. An emergency commission in cooperation with a Soros-backed think tank decided to have the software so it automatically blurs out African American faces to pay reparations for all the black people wrongly accused of stealing items (Yale research showed that they forgot to pay because of the racial stress of being black in a fascist state, and were planning on coming back later to rectify their honest mistake).

Neither of the commissions, think tanks and research teams were able to figure out why theft remained so high after accounting for this. Experts believe Trumpian white nationalists may be hacking the software to make themselves invisible.
This is why we need to ban guns.

now every Walmart and Target have multiple camera's pointing at every register, from directly above, the sides, in the register itself alongside the scanners.
No way you don't get caught doing the two or more items at a time scan scam.
Look above all the registers at every store nowadays, so many low profile, nondescript camera's you'd get a better picture there than at a photo shoot at a Hollywood Big Ticket Gala Event, in 3D!!!

THEY KNOW every time you forgot to scan something, double scanned something and didn't notice and get someone to remove said scan. Every time that coupon didn't register. Every bogus gift card and discount card/coupon. Weight differential issue, they just learned NOT to tell you they know you are trying to scam them out of that big ticket/heavy item. This keeps the idiots doing this from accidentally BREAKING their expensive self-checkout registers. Cheaper to just put priority, Hemisphere wide PB out on your ass to all stores, including rivals, to get your ass federal prisoned and extra jail money/workforce guaranteed.
also sometimes the stores themselves organize flashmobs to "clear out" all their unsold products and such, so they don't have to take a loss of unsold goods/items and get the newer stuff out after mobs of people run around stealing stuff and causing free advertising for a Target/Walmart/ETC and allowing them to keep profits artificially high for investor and ceo/board profit/bonus'.

same flashmob groups that move from city to city, state to state, providence to providence also keep the local politicians happy for their "historical unrest that needs the permanent removal of rights and protections rackets laws" that every country is currently addicted to nowadays.

he's partially right. they use AI now to scan faces at self-checkouts and the AI compiles a list of how many times you've consistently shoplifted at a particular store. of course, there's a lot of small-time thieves they don't give a shit about, but even those will get pulled aside when you've done it far too many times. it's the big-time shoplifters they eventually call the cops on. AI will automatically send your shoplifting history to other locations then the store will put the thief on blast sending surveillance footage to the news then the cops put out an APB to all stores within their vicinity then your fucked. all the while the serial thief just kept walking out thinking he was going to get away with the shit forever and plead not guilty but all the technological, historical evidence is there. enough that the thief will lose the case and have stolen such a high dollar amount that it constitutes a felony and time served lol

you can wear disguises, but you can't hide your entire face and body. those AI face and body scanners they have now can match height, bodily dimensions, eyes, moles, scars, space between eyes, etc.

the local news makes it look like they just lifted like 40k worth of merchandise in one haul, but that's not the case. they've been tracking the thief over time. kind of like how the glowies put /pol/fags and pedos on this site on watch lists. they wait for the pedo to download a certain, high amount of cp before they arrest him because it's the best deterrent to keep that sick fuck from ever seeing the light of day again

It's accounting tricks. Same way they mask inflation. Same way they mask actual net worths of the trillionaires out there. You pass the numbers through the right filters and you can tell almost any story you want. Everyone who can cook the books does so.

Can confirm this works. I shaved my head a bit ago after years of not changing my hair style and wanted to try out pomade to see if it would work. It was maybe $12 and didnt feel like it was worth that so I just used my thumb and scanned something larger and cheaper while putting them in the bag. Ive done it for other places too. The key is to not get greedy and making it obvious. If you can get 20%-40% off to adjust for inflation then that would be great.
