Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.
She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.
Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.
I’ve heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard
Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.
