Fake Target Employee Steals $17K In iPods

TED YOU ARE A F&^%$$ RACIST AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ILLEGA IMMIGRANTS.

I worked at Target for a year and a half. The management team at my location was hostile to their employees. They don't compensate their hardworking employees.
We had to supply our own shirts. I know that I wasn't treated fairly by the organization. I don't feel sorry for them here. There slogan for my store teammates held true, "export more!, pay less!"
They say that they donate millions to charities, but on the other had don't pay their employees a decent wage.

Give me a f****** break!! His shirt and pants look nothing like what the employees would wear and where are the Ipods? If the camera caught him stealing them, then how come they are not in his hands in this photo? Atleast one? Always trying to ruin a black man's reputation. He is innocent until proven guilty you dummies. Did the alarm go off? If they did and he is guilty, then why isn't he running away instead of walking away? Something stupid about this report. I don't believe it. It is too unbelieveable to me

Ted I think you need to do the following:
1. Stop drinking cheap beer
2. Buy a bigger trailer - maybe a nice doublewide
3. Learn how to write and to speak English
4. Divorce your sister
Why? Because your comments sound like some inbred, ignorant, beer drinking, sister marrying trailer dweller in the worst part of my state. This forum has nothing to do with Mexicans, and guess what? There are more white and black American Citizens taking advantage of the system than these evil illegals. Illegals can't get free anything! No food stamps, no welfare checks, no medicare, no tuition breaks in school.....
Oh I forgot, if you're so down on Mexican illegals, and want Americans to demand jobs, how about you start by cleaning toilets, digging ditches or spending 12 hours a day picking fruit and vegs in the hot sun for less than minimum wage! And when you're done my pool needs cleaning and my car is dirty.

Actually Bryan, I did see that documentary too I think it was on 60 Minutes that said that many illegals have something called a T.I.N. taxpayer I.D. Number and actually do pay taxes on their earnings. We're glad that you came over to America, and that you're parents did it legally, but I am sure your last name isn't Gonzalez and your parents I doubt picked cotton, as were the blacks who were illegally brought here, or the Mexicans who pick fruit for less than minimum wage. As I said to Ted, anyone who wants to do it, I support them all the way. If we could send all of the illegals home, I'd like to see it, and I won't even complain much when the fruit and vegetables all rot in the fields because nobody will pick them, or if they do, the price goes up to $10 for a cucumber because we have to pay soc. sec., worker's comp and benefits to John Doe who is picking it for $9/hour.....

TED DOESN'T YOUR MOM OWN A T-SHIRT THAT READS "LAID IN MEXICO".WHERE TED WAS CONCIEVED.

Sounds like an inside job.

Too bad it wasn't WalMart!

I've been asked to help people in Wal-Mart and I wasn't wearing a uniform of any type or colour, Americans are just stupid.

he may be a thief but give him credit for exposing the companies pathetic security.

If he'd done it just to steal 1 ipod for himself then it wouldn't have even been wrong

Ah, our African-American friends. Why work when you can steal?

To BRIAN......Before you start insulting look in the mirror first. GRACE you are right on, I do not see long lines of so called americans at the fields waiting to work picking fruit and vegetables, cleaning toilets, working on lawns, cleaning hotel rooms and so on. They are not taking YOUR great jobs, they are doing the work that nobody wants. In other words hard jobs. The goberment knows were they are but they do not want them out because.... It's GOOD FOR THE E-C-O-N-O-M-Y

Ted, go back to school, learn to spell and get a life!

Michael, you hit the nail on the head! Some of these people typing their responses, have no clue on spelling correctly. It's a shame.

Wait, how exactly did this man gain access to the iPods? To the expensive electronics? I have never seen an iPod just sitting on the shelf. It's locked, either behind the counter or in a case. Even the cell phones are locked onto the hangers. This man may have attempted to pass as a store employee, but the keys to the electronics department didn't magically appear for him. They don't just leave those keys at the counter. And I really refuse to believe that he asked a "fellow" employee for them, and they agreed, never having seen him before. How exactly did he get ahold of the iPods is my question. Seems to be a huge mistake on the store's part to not protect their merchandise properly. I worked for Target, and I remember the strict rules for employees, we had to go through the hassle and the training to avoid this kind of theft, and still these people find to a way to steal. I worked overnight, and we were actually restricted from leaving the building during our paid breaks, I quit around that time, but I heard from a friend who still worked there that they were trying to restrict leaving the building during an UNPAID lunch break. All of this to prevent theft. It's ridiculous.

A Reader Writes to Ask Mr. Doe
"Dear Mr. Doe"
From Jason in Scranton

“Hey, do you post Target Sucks customer stories? Or do you know where I should post this? I have been a happy Target customer. Until now. Now I think Target sucks. I received an iTrip as a Christmas gift. It was purchased at Target. The product is defective. Target won't take it back because I don't have a receipt (it was a gift!) Target's policy: no receipt, no exchange."

Mr. Doe says:
1) Complaints
http://badbusinessbureau.com is a consumer site and you can put it on there and you should forward a copy of the posted complaint to Tarbutt, various email addresses for HQ drones are on my site FYI,

2) Guerrilla Warefare Action
Since the item is defective and they still sell the product with slightly different packaging this is real easy. Go to a different Tarbutt store and buy a brand new one of the same item you already have, use a charge card (not a debit card), wait a few days and take the 'old' non working item back with the 'new' packaging and the receipt. Just tell them you are returning the broken item as it doesn't work. You get a refund on your card for the broken one and you keep the 'new one' for yourself.

Keep in mind Jason, that Tarbutt thinks that anyone who returns something without a receipt stole the item, that is just how the morons think. Thanks for the question and for reading my blog and Hey Jason.
