I was a Target employee of Target for three years and Wal – Mart for two. The article written by the author on easy steals form Target and Wal- Mart is wrong.

Target

In every AP – Asset Protection – unit in target, there are Ten officials, three security guards (That are basically just people dressed in brown to look intimidating), and every single employee in the store on or off duty, most of them with walkies to communicate with each other in fast, uninterrupted ways. Just because we don’t catch you immediately doesn’t mean someone has not noticed suspicion. We have two floor walkers, which are regularly dressed people who wander the store and spy on you. The employees do not know who they are, so you won’t see the employees talking to them.

People are watching all the cameras constantly. We check up on employees, team leaders, and customers. The cameras are all there, they all work, and they are all monitered. Plus, all the employees are offered nice awards for snitching, so don’t count on them.

What We Look For –

Although it vaires form region to region, where I worked, the most emphasis is based in the Music and DVD sections. Their small and easy to conceal, so we usually focus there. WE look for people opening packaging for any reason. We look for people dressed unseasonably. (If it’s hot out, a lot of coats. If it’s cold, usually people still aren’t so heavily bundled, because it’s inconvenient. ) We look for large groups of people – 3 or more – Not including people with more than two kids. If they ever see more than three people of relitively the same age travelling together, they will watch out of securtiy concern.

Weaknesses in the Target System –

If you are stupid enough to want to steal, this is how you do it.

Don’t look up or down to much.

Don’t look at the guards at the front doors at all – definently not more than once.

Wear your regular clothes to grift little stuff, and don’t hump the shelves while trying to do it.

There are techniques for bigger things.

- Follow all of the above, and then buy something, slip an item into your bag. Walk quickly, look frustrated, and storm out. If the beep goes off, you will be asked to show your receipt. Say no. They will let you leave. That’s why it’s important to keep your face level, and try walking to the store if you can. They can track your car.

- Bring a friend. Show for a while, then go to the checkout and start putting your stuff on the belt. Have them try to get a refund for nothing or somehting stupid, and have them throw a fit when they don’t get it. While the attention is drawn, slip a few things into your sack, and follow the same thing above if you beep.

Wal Mart Functions pretty much the same.
