hehe. I was in a Target the other day, I inadvertantly left my wallet in the
car. I had a bunch of Droid Developers and one RIS in my cart, took it over to
Cust Svc and asked one behind the counter person to keep an eye on it (it was
unpaid but I didn't want someone raiding the cart) while I went back to the
car.
Got back to the store, and security was swarming.. They were on the phone
calling the warehouse, etc. and looking closely at the cart. I came up to it,
said these are mine.
Security person instantly started casing me, asked for my receipt. I said
"Stand down, I'm not trying to RETURN them, I need to pay for them". She said
they had already scanned them as not having been bought and were prepared to
investigate me closely if I tried to return them.
So Target security isn't COMPLETELY clueless.
PS, I hear Dayton Hudson may be changing their corporate name to Target!
