Shopper Describes 'Weird' Target Loss Prevention Encounter

A shopper recently shared an unusual encounter at a local Target store, raising questions about the methods employed by loss prevention personnel. The individual, who wishes to remain anonymous, reported being approached multiple times by a store employee who identified himself as part of loss prevention. The employee reportedly offered the shopper small, seemingly free items, including a glass seagull keychain and another glass item with a tassel. The shopper described feeling increasingly uncomfortable and suspicious during these interactions, perceiving the repeated offers as an attempt to entrap them. Despite declining the items multiple times and expressing their discomfort, the employee allegedly persisted. The shopper noted that the employee displayed a 'team member' identification on his phone to affirm his role. This incident has left the shopper feeling uneasy and confused about the nature of the interaction. The individual stated they ultimately left the store without accepting the offered items, highlighting a sense of discomfort with the situation.
