I worked at Target and I remember during the hiring application it asked if I was over 40. I wasn't at that time but I remember it and thought it was ageist. People on Durban mom are so ageist.

As for security there was one guy who was in his twenties and he would watch all the employees more than the customers.

Target’s stock plummeted because Target forecast a weak holiday buying season.

Americans aren’t buying anything with the new administration coming in. He will wreck the economy and destroy America so people are hunkering down.

It's almost like a game to see how you people can insult Trump in some way, no matter the topic.

He makes it soooo easy

He was bored op. There’s not much more to it. He probably wanted to play on his phone away from managers.

Ahahaha, he failed his training shadowing. Poor guy. They mass hire around the holidays and try to train them quickly.

I dated someone who was a Sr. Loss Prevention Specialist at Target. Newbies are assigned a random person in Target to follow to practice their techniques. The footage is then reviewed with their training supervisor to go over where they messed up and what they need to do to change. That guy was definitely in for a long session with his supervisor.

Grab another employee and have them call security as you’re being followed by a creepy person.

Seriously. My dad owned a small retail shop in NYC and he would always tell me it was the clean-cut men in business suits who were most likely to shoplift. Nobody ever suspected them because they looked “rich.”

Stop being paranoid. It’s annoying.

Or maybe you were acting paranoid, which is why they were following you. A Self fulfilling situation.

Who is it annoying to exactly, the thought police? She is allowed to feel bothered in her head. She's done absolutely nothing to the employees. But she should just walk away from these people. If a store enforces theft and shoplifting, there is a way to do it without making customers feel uncomfortable as they are after all, being store customers and should enjoy their experience. If people don't feel comfortable in a store, they won't want to shop there.

And the purse was zipped shut.

My purse was slung over my body. They would have had to knock me to the ground to pull it off me.

OP, where was your purse, and was it closed? I live in a southern college town where women still leave their purses in their shopping carts and there have been a number of instances lately where a team of folks distract and then steal. Though it don't know why they would follow you so long at first unless maybe they were still new at it?

In any event, if I was ever pretty sure that someone was following me I would go to customer service and tell a manager. Maybe it's security, maybe it's a thief, maybe it's nothing, but I would let them know.

OP here. I am obviously not saying that people with a pink streak in their hair or tattoos DESERVE to be targeted, but based upon what I have read on the internet, it is one of the more typical characteristics of people targeted.

And I wish I was having a good booty day, but I am pretty sure that was not the case!
