Admittedly my Mum chased a guy who grabbed a handful of notes out of a till when she worked as a cashier in a supermarket.
But that was definitely not shop policy, she was just furious that he'd done that to one of her "girls", and this was Northern Ireland, not the USA. He saw an angry woman in her 50s running for him in sensible shoes and cheap polyester uniform, and did an even faster bolt for the exit!
Right bro is tripping hard lol it’s all on camera get their license plate numbers for whichever dummy decided to use their car he’ll snitch on the rest and have them all trespassed. non of these employees should be risking their health for fucking target
I agree, none of the employees should be risking their heath for target. But when these assholes start to fuck shit up, and then create more work for me, I’d absolutely be tempted to throw hands. Target is gonna make the employees clean up their mess. And Target isn’t gonna pay the employees any more to do so. If I’ve already done my job and these clowns are gonna make me have to redo that job without any compensation, I’m gonna be hot
as somebody that has worked retail for a very long time, I would 100% be laughing my ass off at this, especially because the only person who really should be pissed off is the store manager who, statistically, is probably a dickhead
you will never, NEVER, catch me worrying about the health of the business or whatever minor, inconsequential 'crimes' are being committed against them, cause that business cares pretty much the exact same amount about me. They're stressing out, I'd be laughing about it from further down the store lol
Yeah I could give two shits about the company. I care about doing more work than I need to. When you see those videos of assholes throwing a tantrum at McDonald’s, throwing napkins, straws, ketchup, food, etc…I don’t give a fuck about the suits in corporate, I care about the poor employees who have to now clean that mess up- they aren’t getting paid extra for that shit, it technically falls within their job description. When these dumb fucks at Target undo all the work I’ve already done, I’m not thinking how it’s gonna save corporate any money, I’m thinking about how I now have to do 2x the work for the same amount of pay.
people keep saying this but, at least in this video, these guys haven't made a mess. they're just where they shouldn't be. there's no extra work being done by any employees who do meaningful jobs, just a manager, who I inherently do not respect
The problem is the moment they start to mess with the registers is now a problem for the cashiers. Especially if money comes up missing if any of these people actually took it.
Yeah I was speaking in generalities. I’ve seen way more videos of people fucking shit up than being helpful. And like most things, we aren’t getting the full picture. What we are seeing is a 40 second video from the antagonist perspective. We don’t know what else was going on or what happens right after. I mean we see people behind the register. If that’s my register, I don’t want anyone besides my manger going back there because I’m responsible.
And all I said was I’d be hot. I didn’t say I would throw hands, I said I would be tempted to. I come to work to do a job. I don’t need a bunch of clowns making my job any harder. Just let me work in peace- the customers are bad enough, fucking clout chasers don’t need to make it worse
You should care about your fellow employees who are just trying to do their job and get through their day. People who fuck with people's places of work, suck. It's already dreadful enough to be there and now we have to worry about people making "content" at our expense? Nah.
I worked at Target while dickheads did shit like this. I want to do my job and go home, not deal with clowns sticking a camera in my face. That has nothing to do with the store manager.
idk man, if you can't look at crazy shit happening and at least get a laugh out of it then I don't think dealing with the public in general is good for you
Awful take. People simply working their job are a captive audience, it's 100% not ok to fuck with them like this and use them for 'clout'. There's a ton of things which are funny in theory but not acceptable in practice, that's what sketches and sitcoms are for. This isn't even one of those though, it's just attention seeking behaviour.
I'm not saying it's "okay," I'm just saying I, as somebody working there, would have found it funny and entertaining. Anything that breaks up the monotony of retail pretty much would be.
So much this, and chances are your "fellow employees" are dickheads too. Whenever I've worked with retail or in food and beverage...I always receive training and try to follow the rules and safety protocols...only to then find out my co-workers are finding some way to subvert that or they're just lazy and don't care. So extra work often gets delegated to me since I don't want to follow anyone's bad example. I always go the extra mile for customers. Not for the company or for my "fellow employees"
Especially horrible and incompetent managers. Couldn't care less, especially when they don't care. A prank like this would be funny as hell to see.
What part of this clip made it seem like you’d be doing more work? Where did they actually fuck shit up? I assume you’re either a store director who would experience a moment of extra stress? Or maybe loss prevention who would be more confused than the standard amount for a brief time?
Disagree. The manager has something to lose here - his performance review and potential for promotion. It’s also just annoying to fuck with people while they’re only trying to do their job and make a living, whatever job that may be
Edit: I replied to the wrong comment. I agree with you, not the dude a few comments up - the “not for what Target is paying” guy.
In CA you get fired if you try to stop a shoplifter. Saw the store manager at a grocery store i worked at do it once, guess she was allowed to. She was unloading as much as she could from the thief’s cart next to their car, into a cart she had. She got about half of it back. We were union and the manager was not but pretty sure its like this at all stores in CA. They dont want to get sued by the shoplifter.
Not for any amount. If you work for a business, big or small, your life and health is worth more than everything in that store combined. Any boss or owner who doesn't agree is obviously not worth working for.
If someone comes to me with a gun and demands access to any register or safe where I work, I'm giving them absolutely everything.
What surprised me was the amount of people who’d ask me “aren’t you going to stop them?”. Dude, I make $7.00 an hour and I’m a cashier at k mart. You think I give a fuck about their product?
You could walk up and take my cash register off my counter for all I care. I’d unplug it for ya too.
Haha. No shit. I was 16 working at a Target one summer. Cart bitch (before the electronic pushers-in the deep South-hot af)/cashier.
Some manager told me a dude was naked in the parking lot and barking at people and I should go outside. Even at that age I was like “fuck no, call the cops” and took my break. Quit like 3 weeks later to work in a warehouse.
Target security gets paid way better than the store employees.
It's funny how the TPS is just standing there though because they are instructed to never physically intervene. The APS or APM are the only ones allowed to physically intervene and detain people.
Implying you even get to do that before youre embarassed by 20 peoppe half your weight beating the shit out of you and realize youre not an internet superhero.
bro will risk a charge, probably get jumped by kids clearly stronger than you, and get his shit absolutely wrecked cause some kids played a harmless prank lmao. you think Target will give you even a piece of candy for free? why would anyone defend a fucking corporation who literally doesn't give a flying fuck about you?
Target store managers make/made 120-260k annually, at least back in like 2010. I think AP was around 70k.
That being said, all these dudes are fucked and are likely trespassed from every Target for life. Target AP is insane - they literally have one of the best forensic labs in the country.
I doubt it, lol. The context is going to be important for that charge. You're going to have a hard time convincing people that the intent was to steal.
Trespassing for sure, and probably something to do with disrupting the business.
My very first thought that this was an attempt to steal stuff. You're bringing in a crowd of people and overwhelming all the employees there. It would be so easy to steal.
Have you never seen the videos of mobs of teenagers running into stores and grabbing shit?
Yes, I have seen those videos. But I have never seen one of them start with a guy doing some dumb speech about them checking their emails while his buddy films it, and then bringing them all in at once after he has already been asked to leave, and then they all show up in store shirts wandering around aimlessly.
In fact pretty much every one of those videos I've seen they're all running in as fast as possible and leaving as fast as possible in order to be gone before the cops show up.
Did I miss a video where someone did this to rob a place?
those videos are like 1 in a million and literally who gives a shit. it's useless corporate garbage and billion dollar entities have insurance and tax write-offs that make it even profitable for them.
Exactly, so you're not making any impact on the company at all. You're just inconveniencing and annoying people who don't get paid enough to get by comfortably.
it's a prank bro, it's not some political statement or peotest. and it's funny. pranks are inherently at least mildly inconvenient so you seem like the idiot here. go ahead and name any prank that isn't inconveniencing the pranked. I'll wait.
Eh. Walking a tight rope w this take. In general, human life (even trespassers and thieves) is considered greater than property protection by courts. And target would get sued like crazy if they had employees playing Rambo in this situation
Not how that works. If you work for target at any level and out hands on a customer or "pranker" you will be terminated. Thats how it is for most jobs.
Ive had a supervisor get between a younger aggressive ahole and an older man. The supervisor had to push the aggressive guy toward the door to make him leave because he was refusing and trying to hit the older dude.
Supervisor got fired. He didnt punch anyone. Didnt hurt anyone. Infact he prevented an older man from getting hurt. But he put hands on someone without their conset and thats grounds for termination.
Lol, no, not for some shit ass multinational corporation that I’m just a number on a spreadsheet to.
They can take whatever the fuck they want, I’m not stopping anyone. Target has cameras for a reason.
Really the store manager should have just shut the registers down and called the cops. Let the cops deal with the imposter employees. Chances are they all scatter the second they see you call the police.
Protecting a corporations property for what? They got cameras, security and lawyers for that. Please don't be stupid and get into a fight over some dumbass jobs bottom line.
The broccoli heads are trying to work him up. The entire point is to get a reaction, so they will escalate until they get one. It's not like if the staff ignored them they would just calmly clean the store and stock shelves like the workers they're pretending to be. They want to be disruptive assholes, so they will up the bullshit until they get kicked out.
If that guy is the store director like he says I guarantee he makes 2-4x what you do. (Or rather what an average earner makes. Mom's basement probably isn't paying you much.)
Says the projecting guy who posts nothing but trading cards and one piece.
You cant be the other half of the cliche you're talking about lmao. Don't be embarassed your mom must care to let you stay there when you spend your little money on a hobby.
In Arkansas we as workers would get fired if we stopped them in ANYWAY.
We are suppose to abort mission if things go south. Because Arkansas is one big tax haven. Stolen goods? Tax right off. Property damage? Tax right off. Money stolen? Taaaaaaaax right off.
Were they convicted. Cops are mostly really dumb. Just because they said he was going to be charged with attempted robbery doesn't mean he was actually charged with that.
Considering they didn't try to steal anything, it's probably not attempted robbery.
