Downtown Seattle Target barely surviving as shoplifting ravages store [“about every 10 minutes” - "In Seattle, they won’t get arrested, booked, or charged for most theft"]

The Target department store in downtown Seattle is being absolutely ravaged by shoplifters, with one staff member telling me theft happens “about every 10 minutes.” He wasn’t kidding.

On a recent trip to the store on 2nd Avenue and Pike Street, I saw staff confront two separate shoplifters within 12 minutes of one another. It’s so bad that it’s not just the Biden administration’s supply chain crisis creating the empty shelves. And it’s so dangerous that customers can now only buy some products online as they’ll likely get mugged on the way out of the store.

Homeless men and women flood the Target and steal what they can. In Seattle, they won’t get arrested, booked, or charged for most theft.

“For the safety of our guests the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles are only available for purchase on Target.com and Target App via Order Pickup and Drive Up,” the sign reads.

The HD in my bright red city of about 30,000 has locked up the copper wire behind gridded enclosures, and there is nary an Amish in sight!

Shut the doors. Lay off the staff. Go Galt.

At Home Depot you could whack ‘em upside the head with a 2x4 and say “oops, looks like that 2x4 fell off the rack”

Meanwhile...

MM: Apparently Target assumes its employees start off as racists. With the proper training though, they can purge themselves of their racism. Good grief.
