Minnesota-Based Target Can Now Deny Returns at Stores

Shoplifting in major cities has increased 24% during the first part of this year compared to the same sequence of time in 2023.  CNN threw that fact out a few weeks ago along with some of the struggles retail stores have been facing due to theft.

One plus that was shared by CNN was that the safety factors stores have put in place have helped with the theft issues at stores.  Merchandise being locked up, changes in the self-checkout lanes, and changes in some packages are some of the measures that the end consumer can visually see.

One other change that has now appeared on the Target website is the fact that Target stores can now deny your returns and refunds.

"Target reserves the right to deny returns, refunds and exchanges including but not limited to prevent fraud, suspected fraud or abuse."
