[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't take anything from Target. They have one of the most sophisticated facial recognition systems in retail. I used to date a head of AP for a local Target who showed me their AP office and systems.

They compile all instances of theft until you reach felony level ($1,000 in VA) and then they pounce.

You are banned (trespassed) from all Target stores after getting caught, and like I said, their facial recognition software will be able to nab you if you try to enter in the future, then they press a trespassing charge. [/quote]

Total BS. You can't aggregate singular instances into a single felony. I don't doubt they want people to believe that but that isn't how the legal system works.[/quote]

PP didn’t say you get charged with a felony, they said you’re banned from all Targets at that point.[/quote]

DP and I don't believe this story because on at least two occasions I've forgotten to scan an item in my cart during self checkout only to discover it when I was loading my car, and on both occasions I brought the item back into the store. On one occasion I explained what had happened to the person at the self checkout (I wanted to jump the line to buy it rather than circle around to wait in a line 20 people deep to buy one item after I'd already checked out). She just waived me off and told me not to worry about it. On the other occasion I found an employee returning carts and told him what had happened and he said "do you still want it?" and I said nah, could he just take it back in for me, and he told me I should just take it.

Now, we're talking about two items that probably total less than $20 in value so if Target has this sophisticated system in place, I'm not worried I'm getting banned anytime soon. But I also think if Target had a system that advanced in place, they'd also bother to instruct employees not to facilitate or even encourage theft in situations like that.

But spreading a rumor that such a system exists is free![/quote]
