- Target said they're seeing hundreds of millions of dollars in profit losses due to inventory shrink, which is when stores have less product on their shelves than is recorded in their inventory.

Caitlin I implore you to get a balance transfer credit card. This can save you thousands in interest if you are eligible!
welp if they paid their employees a living wage maybe the employees would care a little more.
My wife works at clothing store -- big name on the upper end of retail pricing --- every single day she comes home and tells me stories how people are stealing stuff, and it's not just your typical dirt bags, it's upper end people, old ladies, seemingly people looking well off, etc etc. Makes me wonder how many people out there have been faking it with their houses and cars and boats and other worldly crap.
Wow that is an eye opener! I hope more people read your comment.
It's not that they were doing this all the time. It's that there are zero consequences in a liberal society.
Old ladies?! 🤦🏾♀️
how many have been faking it? Most. There aren't that many people who are actually THAT "well off." There just aren't.
95% of people wanna live a champagne life style on a bud light budget.
Lowe’s customer service is nonexistent, as well. I’m a dentist and I’m here to tell you that pulling teeth is WAAAYYY easier than finding someone to help you in a Lowe’s or Home Depot!! If an employee is anywhere near you, they avoid eye contact with you at all costs!
Even when people were flush with stimulus money, retail thefts in CA were way up because CA decriminalized shoplifting from a felony to a misdemeanor. This is one reason Walgreens shut down in San Fransico.
Yep but now its starting to happen in more places. California will probably always be the worst in that dept until something major changes.
I root for all non violent looters. I hope it gets even worse. We live in a society where banks are convinced time and time again of stealing Billions of dollars from us and NO ONE ever does a day in jail!!!! We literally bailed out the banks with OUR TAX MONEY and then they turn around and gamble with our money destroying our economy and the entire Country!!!! Why the fuck should anyone pay for anything or follow any rules at ALL?!? Yea, go work for 35 years and retire and have nothing!!! Burn it all down is what I say.
We are in a huge crisis right now. On many fronts. I work as a supervisor and over the weekend two people threatened to leave if they didn't get their way. One of them was on the do not return list but they're so short of staff and she's back
@@MichaelBordenaro Luckily in Texas you can still blast off a few shots and with good timing you’ll be free from prosecution.
yup! i retired with the $1,200 i received.
I haven't been shoplifting but... as a Target shopper I've definitely noticed really outrageous prices on some things. Many times I've checked the price on something with one of their scanners and set it back down because I'm not paying that much. A lot of times it's things that you look at and think it shouldn't be much... like for example, some rinky dink plastic stocking stuffer toy that last year would be $3. Now it's $7. I had that happen yesterday with a couple things and just put it back. I COULD pay that much, I'm just not going to. That's just one example. So many of the cheaper items are creeping up in price. And with some of that stuff if isn't cheap ,it's just plain not worth buying at all.
I think many others are doing the same thing right now, its just not worth the $$ in many cases anymore.
I Feel it when I buy treats for my dog 🐾🐾 ... at Costco. Woof !!!
Lot of that markup is just profit. On top of all expenses.
Maybe Americans having to prioritize their spending habits isn’t such a bad thing.

Was in a Wal Mart looking for a toothbrush. They were in lock boxes, like video games, ink etc. I asked an employee why and was told that mostly homeless people were stealing the toothbrushes. As you reported on this video theft is up sharply...even toothbrushes. At least the homeless have good dental hygene.
Far more valuable information from a dude walking down the street than we'll ever see from the mainstream media!
I appreciate that!
Presstitute media
Useless, brainwashing screen time for dembs or woke masses that's hardly seen their neighbor back yard, cause is hard to navigate between piles of garbage... that's your mainstream opinions media.
NYC has major shop lifting issues,CVS, Walgreens and Duane Reade pharmacies are pulling out of high crime locations!!
We have BAIL Reform in NYS so shoplifters are just given appearance tickets... with seeing NO jail time!!
Correct. This is the real culprit and it is regional based on how progressive the prosecution is.
it's called a grocery desert. not a new phenomenon across America. decades in the making. you reap what you sow. it was up to the neighborhood to instill that. they failed. no problem.
open up somewhere else.
People have forgotten that thieves go to hell.
I live in a lower to middle class and majority white community. All are Walmarts are self-checkout and I read the police blogger. Im happy to report there is very little retail theft in my area. Lots of DUIs though.
I often wonder if Walmart with its' 15 closed cashier check out lanes and open self check lanes built the cashier check out lanes just to Keep Up Appearances. Sort of like the middle class up to their necks in misc debt.
You are so full of sh it, trying to make this issue a a race issue.🙄🙄 Why do you have to mention white?🙄🙄 So, the meth filled homeless thieves in San Francisco, shutting down all retailers are minorities?🙄🙄
@@littledebby365 it all started with the fight for $15. Robots were always going to be low income job replacers. They just convinced useful idiots to protest for it. Much like every other protest. It's all bs and not in humanities best interest. The left is evil in their tactics.
Well. Here in Portland, we decided to decriminalize drugs and then defunded the police. Lol. Nobody is coming unless it's a violent crime.
Must be a lovely place to live nowadays
Any place slated to become a smart city can look forward to this. Land prices are too high at the moment. Best way to drop the prices is to allow lawlessness. Then, BlackRock and the government can swoop in and save everyone by buying up the properties so at least peop can walk away with some funds. Then they'll turn around and clean up the city, purging addicts & criminals and rent those homes & apartments at a premium.
Landlords are also stealing money from their tenants
steal houses from a deserving couple also.
Stores all over the nation are being pillaged daily. Those of us who are honest and pay, end up footing the bill in higher cost for everything we buy. If it gets to bad the store shuts down. Example Rite-Aid, CVS.
That’s right
Speaking as someone who works in tech...but not top flight tech, I can say there are plenty of 80k-150k tech jobs available if you have the skills and a little experience (3-5 years). The jobs that are being lost are at the "elite" Wall Street star tech firms that were paying 200k and up with stock options, free lunches and lots of other perks. Those are probably less than 5% of the whole industry. Those displaced workers are getting a serious reality check right now but so far it's only a small, highly visible part of the industry.
Let’s hope that will be the extent of it. I know that was a large part of the layoffs at Twitter and they’re saving a ton of money by not paying these exorbitant salaries and all the free lunches. and, of course no matter what we’re going to need people who work in tech to keep this whole online world moving.
The funny thing is people that make between 20k to 70k shoplift 30% more than people who make 20k or less. In other words, people who in the past have been used to splurging on worthless crap still want that crap even though they can't afford it now.
very true. poor are often the most honest. unfortunately that can also be why they are poor.
The wealthiest people on the planet are the biggest thieves the world has ever known.
You're completely correct on retail theft. I used to work at a drug chain and I was busy stopping TVs and fans going out the door, and I even pulled out 15 bottles of whiskey out of one gang banger with a huge Parker on and his Oshkosh my gosh overalls. I'm from Chicago and crime here is completely out of control. The sad thing is that nobody really does anything to stop this. I'm predicting that things are only going to get a lot worse and some of these business are going to go out of business because there's only so much losses these companies can absorb. I can't believe that they have never had any type of summit meeting with Washington officials to try to put a dent in this crime.
It's all part of the New World Order Agenda 21. It will eventually come to a head and people will be worse off than ever before.
Chicago ruined Illinois. Keep voting Democrat and wonder why the place is trash. I gave up on that state almost three years ago now.
Two replacement hinges for a lazy susan in Lowes $30 each! Two for $8 on Amazon. Gauging!
eBay is also a great place to save tons of money on random stuff
Where I live the Walmart stores are all self checkout on a regular basis people will just scan and bag their items and walk out the door without paying apparently there's nothing anyone can do about it
A lot of retail theft is employees. The items go our the back door.
A lot of very bright people stay closer to where they grew up. Outstanding and talented remote workers can be found in a lot more places than the large tech centers now.
In my city they closed down a few of the targets at 6pm or something crazy because of the theft. You can see entire blocks of the city being used to sell stolen stuff.
I have noticed that customer service going down hill. The stores will blame it on having no workers BUT when you go to the job openings link and these stores and restaurants do not have any job openings.
Skeleton crew.
I live in the Phoenix,Arizona area. Every time I go into any retail store in this town, I see shoplifters - sometimes in
the act. Mostly tweekers/drug addicts with back packs and shopping bags. They're bold and flagrant, because they
know there are no real consequences if they are caught - a ticket and a trespass order - meaningless. Crime is the
new entitlement.
I was in Sam’s club last weekend. A man tried to walk out without paying for some items in his basket. You know they scan the receipt and the item in your basket. Caught him red handed!!!!!
I know when I worked in the pharmacy section in a cvs in DC (I was mostly going on different days for covering shifts, not full time at the store), there would be theft even if there's some security guard inside. He's always telling the store manager that its not his job to stop the thieves. The store manager doesnt report the thefts anymore because its just a hassle and most of the times the cops dont do anything about it and even if they did, the store cant get their stuff back by the time they caught the thief
No wonder, so many people are getting away with it with those type of attitudes
We are in a depression here in New Zealand in the central North Island crime is rampant. Ram raids and organised theft in stores is like I have never ever seen. Home burglaries, glass everywhere from smashed car windows, open air drug dealing, violent assaults, wilful damage and you need eyes in the back of your head. New Zealand now has widespread poverty with huge socio economic wealth gaps it is disgusting what our current authoritarian Marxist government has being allowed to occur to make the population dependent upon them.
Elections mid 23 we need change our country is going down the toilet fast into a dirty sess pit. Many tourists I talk to in my industry are having problems with their possessions being taken. Nothing reported as the government bought out our media and all goes unreported.
Wow, that sounds terrible. Very similar to what’s happening in San Francisco.
Hey Michael here in Santa Barbara ca at all the Home Depot’s employees are trained to not stop the theft in progress. Just let them go. Is that insane!!!
I don't understand. Don't these workers remember 00, 01', or at least heard of it. Mass tech layoffs and closures then. It has been 2 decades but they had to realize this won't last forever. It is a cycle and it will bounce back again, but not to be prepared makes no sense.
target sales in 2021 were 105 BILLION. 650 million in loss is 0.6%. first, I can't believe it is that low. second, they raised prices significantly and make 50% or more on most items. probably record profits 📈. this is marketing on their end. yep, prices are up.
Im a hairstylist and my salon has to keep raising the prices so we can afford to pay our bills. Its just a cycle that keeps our wheels spinning
Thats right, many businesses are forced to do the same and that will contribute to inflation rising.
Is it really to pay bills or Greed and refusal to make a little less profit?
💈💇💅 Unfortunately, I think haircuts and manicures are the first things people give up to save money
@@MX-CO usually some greed in there. opportunity is another word. and ultimaltely lawyers (threats of) raised costs.
most people want 10% roi. (10 year payback).
they won't settle for 5%. (20 year).
I'm not referring to the hair stylist here. most don't realize they have 1500 hours of school and a professional license. all so they can cut my hair for something stupid and a $10 tip. meanwhile oh, your a plumber? let me give you $180 per hour...
It seemed to me that business owners were very quick to raise their prices which caused a big snowball effect instead of accepting a little less profit, personally I hope their greed comes back to bite them.
In down times of course your gonna make a little less but they refuse to accept that.
I see people continually walking through all the self-serve checkouts with items. I brought it up with a Walmart manager. They said theft through those checkouts has definitely been a part of the problem. They need to go back to cashiers and having the exits on the other side. As consumers, we all eat the loss with the prices becoming more inflated to cover the loss.
Does this means there are no more lines to get into Gucci, Chanel, and a Louis Vuitton? That kind of demand for over priced goods people were buying with free stimulus money was so amusing and pathetic to me. 😂 remember this one thing, once prices go up they rarely come back down.
Ditto
You are on point with this information ℹ️ Michael ❤
Thanks for always keeping us updated, Michael! This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for you and your sharing!
Yes shoplifting is crazy in NYC. Rite aids and Walgreens closed some stores. I been in a store a homeless guy came in with a backpack and started taken stuff. Security in the store told him to leave. I asked about the stuff he took. They have a policy they can only tell them to leave. Also NYC doesn't doesn't prosecute those crimes under a certain amount. Also in Manhattan the DA might not press charges at all. Also criminals for non violent offenses are booked and release. We have no bail laws. One of the reasons crime is up in nyc.
It is unbelievable
A wise woman, my German mother, who survived the horrors of WWII Germany! Throughout my life, always told me, "There are those that make things happen, there are those that watch things happen, and there are those that ask what happened." Thus, I diligently worked, invested and obtained multiple pensions. I now own several properties throughout Central America.
Very wise both you and your mother!
A German person who ended up in Central America? Well, we know what happened here...
I live 1 hour north of SF I never go to the city anymore and I’ve lived in Northern California for of 41 years ! It’s a💩🚽💉🎬
The theft Target was talking about wasn't people being out of money, or even short of money. It wasn't about shop lifting or even theft, it was about organized retail theft. Legit gangs of people who steal things as a job. These are not people that are selling the items they stole on Ebay and Amazon. These are well run and organized operations, they have employees, they are targeting specific items and everything. Its basically every retail company. You can't really stop them when they will do it with 20 people at the same time. This has been increasing for years, it has nothing to do with the state of the economy.
Except that’s not the whole story. It’s not like every day they have mobs of people coming in they’re stealing like you see in the videos. Most of the theft is from the every day Joe.
There has always been theft! You are making a big deal about an age old problem.
Wow,. That's a serious head in the sand response.
Seems so.
When the prosecutors don't go after them. Their hands are tied, you can't even stop them from stealing if you're a employee
Crime has definitely picked up everywhere.
Yes it has
Home Depo employees must be trained to recognize when a customer needs help, and immediately do an about face and double time their pace in the opposite direction to avoid helping the customer.
Great video!!! I really appreciate what you do to help people!!! Awesome!!! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!
Thank you Nancy happy holidays to your family as well!
Home Depot has put out so many small business vendors. Like plants and Christmas trees that take years to grow they don't water them or they raise the prices so high people can't afford them and if they don't go through he register the vendor doesn't get paid.
Everyone is stealing, but the people getting profiled fit the "description". Another reason I avoid retail. I was at the grocery store was putting my bags in the car and saw an elderly white lady who came out after me pull meat and hot dogs from unders her shirt. Would have never been expected. I was in Ross a while back and a man was telling the kid with him to "put it under your shirt" meanwhile I was being followed around the store by security.
So many people have no morals. If I don't have money to spend I just due without. I'd never steal from anyone. I wouldn't even steal if I was hungry.
With stores bringing in "self-serve"it is easy to forget or not to scan an item and walk out without anyone noticing. I was in Home Depot and missed scanning a paintbrush. I went back in scanned, paid and no one said a thing. Walmart checks but most stores don't,
Thanks Mich
I read that during the Great Depression, that’s how they got by - by stealing and shoplifting. But people with money seem to be doing fine. So therefore the tightening will continue. Gotta love that EXTREME WEALTH GAP
My son is a manager at a target and they have regulars who come in to steal.
Hi Michael,
I just renegotiated my home insurance with KIN.
I added flood, increased my deductibles, got rid of personal property and screened porch.
Last year was $949
Now it's $1988.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wealth gap getting larger in some cities, the rich way to rich and the poor way too poor. Poorest people have nothing to loose, they are in a surviving mode its becoming like those futuristic movies where rich people isolate themself from the poor side of the town with a giant apparted wall
Thanks, Michael. Your videos aren’t only informative, but also educational.
Thanks Alexandre Merry Christmas!

I lived in the SF Bay Area when the Dot-Com bubble popped, it created an economic recession.
You are definitely doing an excellent job with your channel 👏
Thanks a lot!
Great info as usual. I love when you’re a little extra with the thumbnail. I found the burglar hilarious 😂
Walmart has gotten really bad they have alarms on some Product and some are locked up. I stopped shopping at Walmart!
tattoo removal kit. banded sensor. that one gave me a chuckle a few years ago.
My local Walgreens has been broken into at least five times this year (broken glass front door). Shoplifting is an additional problem. I fear the community will lose this business altogether. The 7-11 store across the street (from Walgreens) closed permanently about 8 months ago. Sad. DEMORALIZING.
Thanks Michael 👍
You’re welcome!
I imagine stores in the future will just have displays behind glass. Pick a number choose size deposit payment. Out pops your item like a vending machine
Great video as always, Michael! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Christian, Happy Thanksgiving!
I don't see them stealing clothing because their clothing section ain't worth a d.... I used to go to Target just to avoid Walmart and now it's just as bad. Literally the store is starting to look like a pawn shop.
The Walmart in my area locks up mens boxers and undershirts. I was so surprised but figured that maybe people were stealing them.
All those Self-Checkouts were a real clever idea. 😏
I think employee theft may be a bigger part of the problem than they let on. Sounds like some unhappy employees have decided to "right size" their compensation.
Thank you Mike for sharing my story. I appreciate it. I want everyone to be positive and healthy and apply as much as you can on a daily basis and keep track of your efforts in a notebook. Try company websites. Try different industries. Apply to Federal and State and County and city jobs. Mike makes realistic videos and he is protecting everyone from the financial storm and helping everyone to be prepared by saving money and making more money. Mike is a caring person. Happy Thanksgiving to Mike and his subscribers
Absolutely I appreciate you sharing it all with me and glad I could give people some important points to be learned from it. Good luck in your new job!
I will never put my life in jeopardy for a company that may lay me off anytime for the pleasure of some shareholders.👍👍 Three weeks ago, a security guard got shot to death by a shoplifter here in Maryland for trying to stop a theft...leaving behind a wife and children. 😭😭 The shoplifting took place at a Giant grocery store....yes, a grocery store, to show you how desperate people are becoming.🤯🤯
Siligone valley,they bit the hand that fed them,that first word was not a typo.
Another great video Michael
Thanks Juan!
Retail theft at box stores such as Wall Mart is ridiculous. Some see thousands of dollars a day in stock loss. Sadding to realize the lack of morals of some . The sixth commandment thou shall not steal rings hollow, in times past even the very poor would not stoop to such low action.
You mean the lack of morals of all the Banks that steal our money and gamble with it? They steal billions of dollars from working class people through their 401k and other outright theft? But you want to complain about people stealing to survive? Shove your moral code up your ass.
Taking something you did not earn is theft , and contrary to the sixth commandment no matter how big nor small . There are plenty of organizations that willingly help the poor and less fortunate. My parents were raised during the depression and very poor and humble circumstances and were to proud to steal. All you have done it seems is to announce to the world you are a common theif or condone such actions .
The moral code is not mine , it is the code of Devine Providence I believe you have issue with .
@@michaelrains2268 So you’re saying it’s ok for banks and every financial company there is to steal from us but we should follow the rules when they don’t? I don’t just condone it I hope to encourage it! Until we see thousands of bankers put into prison for STEALING then why don’t you just shut up. You sound like a moron. You’re telling me that the only form of stealing we should be complaining about is people that can barely afford to live, but People like Jaime Dimon has been CHARGED 3 times for stealing Billions!! You are a hypocrite and it’s about time we burn this Country down for allowing banks and a private company destroy Americans!!! Burn it all down.
@@vegasatoshi You understand exactly what I said , DO NOT play stupid nor ignorant! Theft in all forms is wrong in which even you are extremely well aware. Large institutions be it banks ect .... typically will sooner or later be caught and face harsh penalties for irregularities & fraud. I one has one cash or investments where in times of uncertainty they can have less value, one can make arrangements for this to have less harmful effects to one's portfolio , your financial advisors can speek to this. Typically a fool and his earnings can be soon parted don't be foolish let alone a thief. Again DO NOT play stupid you ought be more than well aware how money is earned, kept/grown, or lost.
How many charity's have you donated to to help the less fortunate or perhaps even your time . Complaining is easy and many will while not contributing to help there follow man / neighbors that are in need .
Because in the past, they would have their hands cut off for stealing.
Retail theft and shoplifting has become a very big crime problem in this country.
As always it's not how much you have, its being content with what you already have and moving forward in helping others when you can.
It is hard to be content with the food on my shelf that I recently bought, that I cannot eat due to progressing autoimmune allergy disorders
Haha I always love the little messages in the thumbnails but this one is the best! "100% off" hahaha
Glad you get a kick out of that! It was so obvious I had to put something funny like that in this one😁
One thing that retailers do is work shrink into their financial plans each year. Retail theft cannot be stopped, but there is a threshold/limit of what "can be stolen", for lack of a better phrase. Put simply, each retailer reaches a dollar amount they are willing to accept in terms of theft (locations with higher numbers are usually marked as "high-shrink" stores, and are monitored very closely). With that being said, I seriously doubt that your Targets or WalMarts have written $600M worth of theft into their financial plans! In my 10+ years in retail, I have never seen the shrink numbers this high just for one year. You are right; it is INSANE that so many are getting away with this.
Home Depot is horrible. Look for a gaggle of women standing around talking and ask them for help, and one of them will make a call for someone to help you and then they go back to their conversation.
It’s even worse than that at the one I go to. You can’t even find anyone who actually works there and when you do they don’t know sh$t
Good one,,,again
These tech company workers were making an absolute killing for the past decade while the rest of us had total wage stagnation. No sympathy here.
@ Matthew False! You cannot make generalizations like that because it’s not true. Some of the biggest, most successful tech companies do not give raises. I know…I used to work for one. Congratulations! You bought a falsehood.
I bet they to online shopping only, you order it and drive to the store and pick it up.
Always a pleasure to listen to you Mike , btw you have a twin in the metro Detroit area ..keep up the great work ..
Thank you Paul! It’s good if there are more people out there telling it like it is 👌
That's every Home Depot and Lowes
I use Twitter daily for many hours , and in all honesty , Twitter is working better than ever. I have not experienced any issues at all.
That’s good to know. I don’t use it much, but when I do, I haven’t noticed a difference.
Economy was good under government #1. Many allowed the media to turn them against gov #1. So they voted for another administration #2. Many others tried to warn them of the consequences of what gov #2 would do. So in effect many voted for their own problems. Yes, so mental health professionals are needed for them. Just hope a bad economy is all they have to experience and not losing loved ones to the fentanyl epidemic and even America being in a shooting war also. It appears from the midterm elections many have not learned.
It's really easy to spot the difference between the organized retail thefts, they've shown the videos where one guy opens the door and then a mob rushes in with trash bags and starts emptying the place in minutes and the single people who steal things out of poverty like bread and laundry detergent. I think we'll only see more of both unless consequences change. It's sad when people have nothing but this type of retail theft only gets passed onto the people who pay for what they get. I know people who joke about doing their holiday shopping in CA as you can essentially legally steal there and people even show up with calculators so they don't get arrested for going over the limit. Sad
is there anything in walmart over $1000. last year I was looking for a tv and none were over $1000. then I thought about that. haven't found something in store at 1500 or 2000 that you could grab.
Exactly. I have seen those videos too and to say that most of this theft is organized crime. I don’t believe that for a minute but that is a funny but sad comment on doing the Christmas shopping in California.😆
Home depot in Paterson nj has self checkout lines with someone standing there to scan your stuff. The lines are longer than ever.
I pretty much cant stand even going there anymore unless I need something right now
my home depots in and around st pete florida rock! in and out fast. almost always a self check open. email you the receipt. app can tell you what aisle and bay, and whether in stock at that store or nearby. checkout attendant nearby or wants to help if you let or need them. or if you buy paint (age verification).
if not in a hurry you can order online and pickup. no hassles.
180 degree turn around in a decade where lowes was better and HD almost dead. Lowes here is terrible at all that and having stuff in stock. poor technology. almost everytime in last year I go to lowes, I end up at home depot for something. chainsaw bar oil was my last example.
I don't work for HD. and I understand each location is different.
I'm just wondering if others have similar experience to me. (obviously NJ is a "no"). Lowes here is "for the ladies". like Hobby Lobby.
thanks.
@DKbananas - Then it’s not really SELF checkout, is it?
@@lovethemflowers it was, but too much inventory shrinkage.
Wow! Thank you again Michael for telling us the truth! What a time to be alive! You will be helping us to cross the truth finish-line! God Bless!❤️
My pleasure!
Vivint cameras whistle at you so you think someone is there. I would recommend them but they kept charging me after I asked them multiple times to stop..
I just saw Safeway stop these people in the parking lot with a full cart of stolen goods
Personally, I think a lot of retail should go to the old "Montgomery Ward" model where you had to grab the card, pay for the item and them grab it from the conveyor. Secondly, I think the only reasons a lot of these retail establishments even leave stores open are for the "tax writeoffs, credits, etc...). Why would anyone want a store in an area that has a higher crime rate is beyond me unless if there is an advantage for it.

Now I see why I see so many people play the lotto so heavy and gamble hard. Things like the layoff will scare anyone.
Having history and experience really can pay off. This is based on my experience in looking for jobs. I was looking for warehouse type jobs. Pretty much every company wanted someone with forklift or other special experience. I did not have any. Which made it hard to land a job. I did get a warehouse job eventually. Which I'm working at right now as of Nov 22, 2022. And I am driving a forklift now.
Moral of the story: HAVING HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE on your record PAYS! That lady obviously had some kind of desirable experience to the company to offer 10k more
I have been applying like crazy, and I got lots of interviews.
But the problem is that being a Programmer, those interviews are super draining.
Imagine being challenged with puzzles and technical questions for 8 hours straight everyday from different employers.
I might give my all on the first few hours, but by the time I hop to a call to another interview with technical questions, my brain might be tired by then.
Let's not even talk about the different requirements on each Software developer job. Some of them requires you to know some tech stack that others don't use.
So basically please be an expert at Jack of all trades.
That does sound rough. Being a programmer is a hard job to begin with.

when your city/state makes theft under $1000 legal...
Please explain how the police are responsible for shoplifting at Target.
Explain it like I'm 5 years old.
@@TheRealCatof you must be a 5 year old. Sorry my baby talk isn't that good.
@@willlywillly So you can't actually explain how defunding police = more shoplifting?
It's the district attorneys who refuse to prosecute. This is all by design. Just like covid, vaccine mandates, eviction moratoriums, small business destruction, illegal immigration. It is a planned effort to destroy the middle classes. Since the covid shutdowns, there has been the biggest wealth transfer in the history of the world!
Doesn't surprise me. The little Target in Sierra Vista Arizona has two guards and the secret loss prevention detective is really obvious now scare would be criminals. Don't know if it's working though.
This could be the beginning of commercial retail real estate becoming obsolete. Similar to office buildings with work from home becoming more common. The theft will become such a large expense item that customers will have to pay online and pickup at a drive thru.
I was just at my local Walmart the other day and as I was standing near the exit a lady tried to walk out with a cart full of stolen goods. The worker had to struggle to take it away from the thief.
I’m surprised anyone even tried to do anything
@@MichaelBordenaro Depends where you live and who the district attorney is.
Why are only 20 states giving a stimulus money for food? I texted the number and it said my county was not poor enough. Bs.we need it just as everybody else. Flex cards. What
I do not condone shop lifting at all but at the same time I don’t condone these big box stores ripping people off , treating employees like trash . So honestly it’s hard to feel sorry for these stores being stolen from . It kind of just seems like they are getting back what they have been dishing out . Karma
The problem is they pass on the cost of the losses to the consumer.
Your logic is flawed.
Theft is WRONG on all levels.
Those employees you speak so dearly of APPLIED for those positions. They dont have to work there, they choose too.
+smh+
@@esteban1487 yea I know and that’s the sad part unfortunately. No matter how it goes we lose .
@@chananon8120 well bubba my logic isn’t flawed it’s just different from yours and that ok . But in all actuality some people don’t have many choices due to an array of circumstances so just maybe to them they are lucky to have a job . Either way no one deserves to be treated poorly . Also I don’t condone theft of any kind I myself am not a thief . But when I go to the stores and see the prices you can’t tell me these companies aren’t stealing from us . In times of hardship we should help eachother not take advantage.
@@user-xm8rf6ik7b People have choices, they just make crap stink choices. Those stores are in business to make MONEY AND PROFIT... You need to do the work to get your own food and then youll appreciate the service they provide and the many offerings at reasonable price point. You got entitlement logic and its crap flaw thinking.
Tech employers are coming to realize that if your job can be done remotely, it can be done remotely in India at half the cost.
Absolutely
Vivitar home security does that whistle thing. A neighbor has it and I can hear it if he gets a delivery or something
The first time I walked by I thought it was a bird and then when I heard again by the same house I knew it had to be something else 😂
