Target, said that to improve business performance. They have made the decision to close nine Target stores across four states, effective Oct. 21.
They cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of their team and guests, and contributing to “unsustainable business performance”. Their stores serve an important role in their communities, but can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.
What do you think are they closing for safety ,store underperformance or both?

Politicians will form a committee to see what went wrong! Will blame online shopping for the closure. Will never blame shoplifting as the problem.

@flyingspirit3549 7 месяцев назад

I'd bet -- HEAVILY! -- that the politicians blame the greedy merchants for not serving the needs of the public by closing the store.

@animejanai4657 7 месяцев назад

Politicians will increase the supply of free subsidized mass transit passes to the shoplifters who would visit Targets farther away. Eventually, the Targets farther away willl get those shoplifters willing to commute to them for lack of other closer stores.

@koilamaoh4238 7 месяцев назад

Adding a membership to any store would prety much defeat theft and add a better theft proof entrance to avoid large groups. But considering, big box stores rarely fare well in big cities, walmart, target etc, Big box stores are usually meant for "rural" conservative parts; but since the new take over of "dollar" stores are the new stores that take advantage of poor rural areas where people don't shop.. I remember there were a couple of organized crime thefts done through the church/pastors where they got caught.

@animejanai4657 7 месяцев назад

@@koilamaoh4238 Shoplifters already sneak into Costco with fake membership cards printed at the public library or at school or at home. The gate keepers at Costco only see the brief flash of the words "Costco" and the people walk right in. There is no checking if there is actually a plastic membership card at any costco in the various cities I've been to in both Canada and USA. So any piece of paper that looks like the costco card is sufficient for a shoplifter to get in. Or they can say they are using the pharmacy or Optometrist and most USA states require Costo to let them in as they are licensed by the state and have subsidized infrastructure by the state taxpayers.

I remember when that Costco in the City opened. The membership aspect and the sheer size made it a novelty, and kids my age were excited to go. The expanse of everything, the copious samples, wide range of product and food court made it a grand adventure, and families of all kinds could appreciate the prices as well as the fact that you were less likely to get complaining during the weekly trip to the grocery. Cosco executives had a long-term plan for success when they crafted their warehouse model. Anti-theft mechanisms were integrated long before it became an epidemic.

@sergeant64 7 месяцев назад

Given that it’s somewhat permissible to loot, the looters initially target the easiest opportunities (low hanging fruits). Costco, being a membership-based business, requires customers to present a Costco *ID/badge* for entry, and they have access to all your information, including a photo. However, the looters will eventually come to Costco, in numbers without ID/badge.

@animejanai4657 7 месяцев назад

@@sergeant64 The Costco gatekeepers barely look at the Costco badge. A piece of paper printed to look like a membership card can be glued to the back of any credit-card sized piece of plastic such as all those stupid plastic Xfinity fake credit cards if a card needs to be waved around. However, I never take mine out of my wallet, so all they ever see is just the colored letters COSTCO. I just barely flip my wallet open and they see the COSTCO and I just saunter right in without slowing down. Any shoplifter can do that too. Or they will say they are using any of the state-licensed services to get in because most states, like mine, do not allow stores to prevent public use of any taxpayer-funded licensing such as pharmacy or optometry. Also, in 2015 alcohol was added, so that's why beer prices aren't always good at Costco. My state law does allow membership-only stores to offer discounts to members for pharmacy and alcohol purchases. However, they cannot require a membership to make a purchase. Because of the law being known, shoplifters can easily cite the law and enter the store to peruse the alcohol or anywhere else in the store with small pocketable objects.

In my work experience with Target in the past they strive to run a "well-oiled machine" so this pre-emptive move of closing these stores may be their way of moving resources around so that they can support more profitable location? - I don't know.

The two targets that I shopped at have both become sparser in merchandise and replaced those items with clothing. Even the food sections have shrunk to about half of what they used to be which basically means target is no longer a place to do the main part of shopping but to pick up convenience items. As I've seen, most of the remaining food items here are either drinks, snacks, or frozen food items. The other types of staples are totally missing as there is zero produce, almost no bakery type items, and butcher type meats are gone. If all the dry goods (beauty, food, housewares, home appliances, electronics, and sporting goods), cafe, shopping cart, and customer service spaces are added up, they are somewhat less than half of the floor space with everything else being clothing. It feels more like a clothing store than what it used to be. For example, there are basically no car care products and many types of "small pocket-sized goods" no longer exist unless you go to target.com

I remember a RU-vid video a while back, of these thieving couple who were able to steal some items darting out of the fire escape. The second time they tried at a different Costco, the police were waiting. I have also heard of stories of Costco Business Center banning people for shoplifting. I was told of a woman who would stick a whole slab of meat in her dress to use at her restaurant. She got away with it for a few weeks until they finally reviewed the tapes and caught her in 4K. And then I have heard of criminals infiltrating Amazon warehouses in order to steal items. Forming cliches in order to steal more. Even after they get caught and fired, they brazenly try to recruit people in the warehouse to steal for them. However, the Costco parking lot may be dicey. I personally had to deal with a thief who tried to steal from my cart as I was loading. But they saw me giving them the stink eye and they gave up and left me alone. And I had noticed thieves also prowling the parking lot, looking for items in people's cars to smash and grab.

I've been a Costco member for twenty five years, the reason Costco is so successful is they tightly control who they let in the Store. You have to be a member to enter, and they make you show the door person your membership card to enter. Then when you leave you have to show a different door person your receipt and they check the items in your cart to the receipt. They don't just let anyone in. And if they have any problems with a member (stealing), they'll cancel their membership. All that combined is why they don't have any problems, basically zero thefts, and will continue to thrive.

@mischkaaf5172 7 месяцев назад

The retail store I work at has a super high crime rate & will be closing in the near future if things don't turn around with the permissiveness of tolerating criminals/shoplifters. The majority of shoplifters come in regularly & some multiple times a day. What's changed is the ENTITLEMENT attitude they have as they exit the store without even trying to hide the merchandise. My store has become the hub for criminals & is more dangerous than before when we were allowed to call the cops & arrest, then prosecute the shoplifters. The ENTITLEMENT attitude is the most disturbing. Also by far, the majority are NOT just trying to get a loaf of bread to feed their families. It's to make money for drugs, iPhones, cigarettes , alcohol etc. They make 100% profit.

It's interesting because here in Florida, you don't have this many locked cabinets in Target. Maybe just one or two for some small electronics? This one has aisles and aisles of them.

Both the city of SF & the city of Detroit show how bad governance & lousy politics can have the same effect, regardless of a city's weather, terrain, scenery, demographics, economics. But for just SF itself, if crime & homelessness didn't get the ball rolling, than zealotry in Covid-era lockdowns & mandates (by government, businesses & residents) sure did. Or visa versa.

You have to show a Costco card to buy there so you will not just be able to run in the loot. Not for nothing Costco has a problem as well the prices and now running in competition with the supermarket it is losing its value. I watched a video ion the from the channel Epic Economist. In addition, I work at target in Long Island you have theft of items that are missing like the lose hangers found all over the building. The items of cloths were most likely stolen. I work at night and do my best to just put them and all shortage items in the receiving for credit. Good luck!

Well when you don’t enforce the law and apply progressive policies that imply if you’re a a certain race you don’t prosecute this is what happens.

costco is thriving because they have a door man checking receipts of customers on their way out, for whatever reason target does not do that, Safety concerns, i think.

@animejanai4657 7 месяцев назад

Many states provide free subsidized bus passes to those on social welfare. So they will just commute to the areas with open stores. And shoplift at those. Buses in many cities now have bicycle racks, so the suspects can even take a bicycle to just the approximate area with the best bus stop having loitering areas. They can then ride their bicycles to nearby shops or residential areas to look for porch packages.

"They say they're closing because of crime, because it's better than saying it is because the stores aren't profitable." It is difficult to be profitable when your merchandise is being STOLEN because your government condones theft (also known as CRIME).

@coenfilm 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Leo. Great reporting. I’ve been in that Costco. Without workers in the City and the crime these stores will close. Unreal to see San Francisco so bad, Oakland and even Berkeley. It will be interesting if we are seeing the bottom.

Leo: My wife looked in to see what I was watching and since it was about Target closing (wife was released from KMART just shy of having qualified for retirement benefits) she felt sorry for the employees and how it will affect them and their families. When will the neighborhood say enough is enough and stop these thugs. A sad day and sadder for the people who worked there; Leo, stay safe out there.

I used to go to this location, it was hell, lots of crazy junkies around.. they had to board the stores for 2 years because they had their windows broken many times. The front entrance was boarded too, it looked like it was closed all the time..I am just surprised it survived so long ! check the mall on 9th street, everything closed too ( nordstrom, bed bath, ulta, the bank, etc.. I think just trader joe is left .. just wondering how long

Leo, I would like to know more about the start of police no longer prosecuting theft of under $1000. It started soon after the defund the police protests. Is there a connection?

@boostedmaniac 7 месяцев назад

That’s because of prop 47 in CA. It’s a misdemeanor crime instead of more serious felony. So this decriminalized stealing because if they got caught they were released later.

2:39 - You said this completely backwards. This is the very first time Target has admitted closures due to crime. They have avoided using this phrase for the last 60 years.
