In the fourth quarter of 2022, Target claimed it lost $400 million in profits due to retail theft alone. There have been instances where the global retailer has beefed up security, even putting certain products under lock and key in parts of the store that previously weren't in some locations.
She says in the clip as she hovers the camera over a cardboard box filled with pieces of torn/opened packaging, "This was everything that was stolen in the beauty section today that we found just laying around, empty packages."
She then shows off a ripped-open cardboard box of Cetaphil, saying, "This moisturizer just empty. This Morphe 2 pallet, some Vaseline, some…serum drops, eyelashes…"
The worker then holds up two tubes of lipstick and says, "Both of these were used and just really gross, stolen body sponge, Aquaphor was stolen, some Lux lip oil…creamy concealer, another Morphe 2 thing, a hair tie, mascara, some more lipsticks that were damaged, Pacifica body serum…face serum, and an eyeliner from Nyx."
The user wrote in the caption that these "stolen items" were "found in the beauty section at Target."
Many commenters didn't seem to think that theft of the products was that big of a deal, with one user writing,
"I hope they enjoy their new items
<3.
" Another thought the haul was "impressive." Someone else quipped,
"Proud of my girls."
Another remarked,
"YASSS THEY'RE SLAYING,"
while someone else expressed that they thought
the thieves have "good taste."
A Target employee added in the comments that they come across evidence of customers stealing consistently.
"I work at Target in the beauty dept. Everyday it’s shocking how much people steal," they shared.
Seriously, wtf is wrong with people? That reply, "Proud of my girls" is ****ed up. Who the hell raises their kids to think this is not only acceptable, but even encouraged? Unbelievable.

They got away with it most of the time
On graveyard shift there was a guy that was catching the shoplifters

I know. I'm sure you experienced this yourself when you were working retail. How did your store handle shoplifters at the time?
bitch that's never worked a day in her life has a question for working people. -

Target steals legally from its workers through wage theft. As do most businesses. It's taking what's owed.
It really isn't a big deal. That amount of money to the company is miniscule. The company is still worth like 76 billion. It's like stealing pennies.

They're pretty bad. One of the worst with union busting. But like most companies suck because capitalism sucks. It's more pleasant to shop at than Walmart and has better stuff, but I don't give a **** about their profits.
I've had jobs. Ones similar to working at Target. Not aure how that's relevant.
