UPDATE: The truth about Target
popular.info
On September 26, Target announced it was closing nine stores "because theft and organized retail crime are…contributing to unsustainable business performance." Target said that before making the decision to shutter the stores, it had "invested heavily in strategies to prevent and stop theft and organized retail crime." But ultimately, Target claimed, those efforts failed to make those stores "successful."

Never trust the corporations excuses.

PS: I wasn’t sure if this was a good fit for this community, but I couldn’t think of another. Any suggestions?

    They seem to be having theft issues in the San Francisco region at least. All the stores in the area are locking up various areas of the store they never have before.

    Do these corps pull shady stuff around unions? I’m sure. Are they also seeing extreme theft at the moment? Looks like it. Because those security boxes really tank your sales on anything in them as people refuse to wait. You don’t do that unless you think you are losing significantly more than you are selling, and it’s not a practice that really has anything to do with unions.

      Where I live most stores like target and Walmart and Kmart lock up all the black people hair and body stuff. It’s insane. The worst part is I’m white but have black grandkids so now even I’m affected! Disgusting. (The last sentence was sarcasm. All true but not really the issue that pisses me off. So no one trip on me, fuck)
