You don't have to let them search your cart when you leave the store no matter how much they protest. I fucking love telling them "no" and just keep walking, the look of confusion and anger on their face
Depends on your local jurisdictions. Some places have what's called "Shopkeeper's privilege"

Small business tyrany, amirite? I think most places have a policy to let people walk and then use surveillance to build a case over time so they can avoid liability, but the security pukes don't necessarily know that.
Also- exercise extreme caution at Target. Target spends a lot of money on cutting edge surveillance and coordinates with the cops. They'll build a profile and let you walk out with stuff until you trigger the dollar amount for felony charges then set the cops on you.
Fun '2020 George Floyd uprising fact; The Target that was looted and burned in Minneapolis was a laboratory location for testing new surveillance and repression techniques. They worked very closely with the MPD. It wasn't targetted randomly or opportunistically, it was a source of oppression in a mostly PoC community and was destroyed in retribution.
I had no idea, that does kinda change the narrative. Not that I have any problem with people fire bombing target just for shits and giggles but this seems like really good reason..................................................................
