Wow. So this means you have to get the staff to open up a cabinet for every item you may want to look at or purchase? Unbelievable. Prices will have to go up to pay for all of those cabinets AND staff.

So much for “Self Checkout”.

If I were Target CEO, I’d just close the stores and move on to a place where people and their government are sane...............

Yup. Same deal to some extent for every major department store from SF through the Peninsula. The South Bay's crime problem isn't quite as rampant, so you can still find most items on shelves (as opposed to locked up in cages). My observation, anyway, from the last time I was in the Bay Area.

They may as well go back to the 19th century model where EVERYTHING is behind the counter and the Sam Drucker-type man gets it for you.

Not necessarily as it depends upon the amount of theft that
is reduced.

And sales will fall due to the lack of convenience.

[Waverunner]

Nawww, there will be the rare “ actual customer in aisle 5” or the shoplifters will just ask the clerks for things to add to their carts before taking the whole cart contents out in the wheeled luggage they were going to “Buy”.

"Prices will have to go up......"

My thoughts exactly.

Every customer nationwide pays for that too.

This is ridiculous...

“Prices will have to go up to pay for all of those cabinets AND staff.”

Maybe they were losing more than that to theft.
