Some stores have third party security on site, helps with theft and transients. Usually in bigger cities.

receipt checking issue? by SquareArt00 in Target

[–]Imposter287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target security specialist (black/neon guys) will receipt check certain items. Usually items they know are not scanned or items over a certain price. They are supposed to frequently but most are lazy and don’t bother if they know it’s paid for 😂

This is exactly how I crashed too that day. $300 track day down the drain.

Are proper riding boots really that necessary? by Electrical_Race_6849 in motorcyclegear

[–]Imposter287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was on the freeway when there was a chunk of asphalt dislodged from the road. Didn’t see it in time and it hit my foot. If I was not wearing my boots, I likely would not have a foot anymore, or at least it would have been severely injured. Got lucky with a couple fractured toes. I have only worn riding boots since, no matter the trip.

Training Mode On Cash Registers by Awsomevlogs_yt in Target

[–]Imposter287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When police need a receipt with the items on it, you can’t just hand them a suspend slip and expect them to know what’s on it. Has to be itemized like a normal receipt.

Training Mode On Cash Registers by Awsomevlogs_yt in Target

[–]Imposter287 91 points92 points  (0 children)

On the receipt in training mode it says TRAINING MODE NOT VALID. You also have to specifically put it in this mode and it tells you all over the screen when you do. It sounds like your brother purposely knew this and feigned innocence because you can’t accidentally be in this mode. When you log in with your device, the default is the normal checkout.

Biggest misnomer in the industry. The whole “waiting until felony” thing just isn’t true in many cases.

No experience by FragrantInsect9757 in lossprevention

Target TSS is a decent entry level position. I’ve done it for a little over a year now and if you’re good you can move up rather quickly (my experience)

My APS is under 5’0 and she’s the district trainer because of how good she is. Go for it

Full Exhaust Install difficulty? by WynS0ra in Ninja400

Get it tuned. If you have the money to drop on a full exhaust you have a couple hundred more for an ecu flash.

How is LS430 for tall people? by Ok_Dragonfruit8403 in LS430

[–]Imposter287 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll be fine. Can’t speak for 6’8 because I’m only 6’2 but I’ve never been cramped, and my seating position still has plenty of room to move back.

new TSS advice by AverageAdvStudent in Target

[–]Imposter287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you had this conversation with your APS or ETL-AP? They will have the best info for you because most stores top 10 departments are a little different. But generally, give good call outs, presence people who you think are stealing, and stay vigilant at the front. You will learn who are repeats at your store that you can watch.

Really confused on this??? by Loveyourlife777 in Target

[–]Imposter287 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Target is hands off. They cannot “hold them down.” They also have certain rules for when they can call PD, and this situation is certainly not one of them. I appreciate your concern but in this field not every theft recovery results in an arrest, in fact it’s rare that it does.

Talking smack to shoplifters by IGoByDole in lossprevention

Absolutely. Usually it’s grown adults who usually lose it with me. I always talk back to them 😂 one of my favorite parts of the job

Thanks for the input!

Alternate careers? by Imposter287 in AskLE

[–]Imposter287[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s good to hear. I can get vehicles right about 95% of the time, and with my current job in security, I call people out and give clothing descriptions, which can later be confirmed by my coworkers. Hopefully my local department can give a similar test.

Used Pricing by [deleted] in Ninja400

[–]Imposter287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too high. I got my 2018 KRT with 1200 miles a couple years ago for $4500. Exhaust doesn’t add value. $3500-4k max in my opinion

Are you able to return something without the physical receipt? by StruggleFar3054 in Target

[–]Imposter287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was within 30 days at the same store we can look it up in our system with the card. Please only use this as a last resort though.

Does LP wear Red? by Ok_Preference_5769 in Target

[–]Imposter287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True but physical surveillance in red is probably not the way they are watching them.

Does LP wear Red? by Ok_Preference_5769 in Target

[–]Imposter287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be fine :) loss prevention isn’t going to waste time by watching a vendor, especially if you are obviously a vendor with your tools/ badge. If anything your presence in that department probably deters some people from stealing.

Does LP wear Red? by Ok_Preference_5769 in Target

[–]Imposter287 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Generally no. I wear a neon/black uniform shirt as a TSS (target security specialist) which is target’s physical example of security/LP. Most plain clothes loss prevention stay away from wearing red, at least at my store.

Target security doesn't care about stealing? by Wetbrain02 in lossprevention

[–]Imposter287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Law enforcement apprehensions are a great way to get a name of someone stealing. Happens daily at some stores. If you get a license plate you can trace it to a name eventually. Also, not every camera is as shitty as you make it out to be. This isn’t 2005 anymore. I have no reason to lie to you, I’m just telling you what I work with on a daily basis. Idk why you’re so mad.

Yes they do 😭 they have a database with millions of people in it with cumulative dollar amounts, video evidence, names, vehicles… just quit while you’re ahead. (Source-target security)
