Target (TGT) has become a target for major thefts, and it's taking a huge chunk out of profits.
The retailer estimated in its earnings release Wednesday that inventory shrinkage — mostly the theft of merchandise — would clip profits by a whopping $500 million this year. Factoring in an about $700 million profit hit from inventory shrinkage in 2022, Target is on pace to see $1.2 billion in profits go up in smoke, due primarily to organized retail crime.
Target Chairman and CEO Brian Cornell says the problem is getting worse, is nationwide, and across various merchandise departments.
"The unfortunate fact is violent incidents are increasing at our stores and across the entire retail industry. And when products are stolen, simply put they are no longer available for guests who depend on them," Cornell said on a call with reporters.

Every time!
While theft is undoubted a problem for Target, their woke agenda is costing them millions in sales every quarter. They’re selling, basically, tranny/homo clothing to kids. Pedophiles.

Are all those white supremacists getting all uppity again?
Nothing Samuel Colt couldn’t resolve. But I digress - it’s not popular opinion to day to make thieves pay for their transgressions with their lives.
They used to hang horse thieves. How much did a horse cost in those days?
Target's CEO Brian Cornell needs to move stores OUT OF DEMOCRAT HELLHOLES - then he needs to get Amazon to demand proof from their sellers that their products were bought wholesale and not from criminal scum. (of course in our world, the 'justice' people are probably on the take with many 'Big Guys' getting their 10% cut)
Then start defending traditional values. Cause this 'anything goes c rap' is NOT working.
They won't arrest the shoplifters in California if they steal less than $1000 worth of merchandise. They have to feed their kids, don't ya know. And in other Democrat cities they don't prosecute them for just shoplifting.
Massachusetts just lost their US AG. She refused to prosecute shoplifters and other miscreants. She lost her job for ethics violations. Imagine - an AG fired because of ethics issues. I guess she didn't pay off the right folks.

“ Every time I hear someone from my church talk about going to target I cringe.”
Don’t just cringe, tell them your opinion of Target and why. Public shaming has always been a way to make change in society. Being silent is just accepting something you disagree with. Too much of that is going on.
Now back in the day my grandmother could insult you in several different ways but she was so suave about it you would think it had been a compliment.
The use of language has been lost..
Nationwide maybe, but targeted in certain areas.
👍
TS Target. Enjoy your wokeness.
I rcall going into dressing rooms that were posted “We arrest and prosecute shoplifters’.
Target- sucks to be you- Enjoy descent into being placed in the same sentence as K Mart and failure.
Targets a liberal Giant. I went there a couple times and didn’t like the atmosphere at all. Creepy!
Target....the sears of the 21st century......hopefully.......them AND bed bath and begone.
It’s not the white supremacists...we abandoned your store long ago.
[AND bed bath and begone.]
Heh
