I went out of town about 2.5 hours away with wife and sister n law. Made a purchase at a Target, not even a big purchase, maybe $30. Used my discount and my red card. About a week later I get pulled into my HR's office and she's talking about an email she got from corporate stating that I was in such and such city and made a purchase for someone else and used my discount. Then I proceeded to tell her it was a purchase for me, and my wife and sister n law were with me. She says she doesn't know the details but just that they said it was a big group of people and I used my discount to buy them stuff. I laughed and told her sure, if 3 people is a big group of people. I told her to tell them to pull video footage of me buying stuff for them and proof it wasn't for me (which it was).
She said I wasn't in trouble that it was just a warning. Lmao yea warning my ass. I'll buy whatever I want for myself. If I'm going to be accused of using my discount for others then at least come at me with proof of a money exchange or something.
So either corporate looked into that transaction and notified my store, or the cashier tried sticking their nose into something they knew nothing about and management contacted corporate
