It’s all the same to me as I don’t enjoy shopping, and I want to get out of the store as quickly as possible. But recently I was reading an article released by <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/target-may-have-solved-one-of-retails-biggest-problems-theft-103150947.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly8xMDI3a29yZC5jb20v&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGCHbCuAnNhptdec9l5rj83KhT45HV7vVKU8MfRHtdrLO7NfTL-5mxPyPm5USedcuT-zMdWNY0ioOLm6eMExWfsdk84LEZ4mW27FDOVFiNwsWBrnFY5BGgONooxQu9HtDzOVCyJXK_i1224qbGR1Xaei4fYW3c1kDWNq5N5PA8r2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Yahoo Finance </a> talking about how Target stores could look different in the not-so-distant future. </p><p> The article was specifically talking about some of the things that Target officials are implementing to stop all of the shoplifting that is taking place in their stores. It was said that over $500 million dollars in products were taken, although they like to use the terminology ‘inventory shrink’. </p><h3> What is Target Doing to Fight Shrinking? </h3><p> Target takes theft very seriously, but they also worry about the safety of their employees. So, you’re starting to see Target stores install more of the locking cases for their “prone to theft” merchandise. </p><h3> Will This Help the Problem? </h3><p> If criminals want to steal items, they will find a way to do it, but I applaud Target for trying to be proactive and stop the theft. Only time will tell if this new plan to stop the amount of shrink happening in stores, but hopefully these thieves will soon have to pay the consequence for taking items they choose not to pay for before leaving the store. </p><a href="//knue.com/target-fighting-theft/" rel="nofollow"> Click here to view photo gallery </a><a href="//knue.com/target-fighting-theft/" rel="nofollow"> Click here to view photo gallery </a></div></body>
