What’s the weirdest item you’ve seen/had to spider wrap at Target?

Did LeBron’s head ever get boxed or wrapped up?

An expensive cut of beef.

What!?

 

[employee 626]

What!?

There was a TikTok trend going around last summer (21) where people were stealing the heads from the Space Jam figure. Some stores, not just Target, literally took the head off and locked it up

Yes. Then we removed them from the shelves.

Not my pic. Saw on Facebook. I'm sure it's a joke but then again... 😂

Not weird but difficult: an electric razor with what I'm sure the manufacturer thought was a cool-shaped box. One side was so steeply slanted that it was probably easy enough to get the spider wrap off, even when tightly applied.

I've had to deal with that too! I forget what type it was but it was some Philips razor and it annoyed the heck out of me

I recall seeing a picture somewhere of a vibrator spider wrapped. Probably Reddit, lol.

Given how expensive eggs have gotten, I wouldn't be so sure...

We have to do that at my store...

I was at a family dollar once and saw a $1 spatula with a security device.

The pregnancy pills.
They're already locked inside glass cabinets... But now they want them spider wrapped? Wtf

 

[Captain Orca]

Large bars of dark chocolate.

I think it's weird to spider wrap a vaccum that isn't a Dyson or a Irobot. No one is gonna steal a Dirt Devil

Your AP is just stupid. double merch protection is bad practice lol. I think the only reason they might've done that is so you can just hand it to the guest.

This would be my assumption. Yeah someone could still take off with the spider-wrapped pills, but it cuts down on the risk because they've had to be face-to-face with an employee and people are less likely to just take off after they've been noticed that thoroughly.

Since OTC doesn't have their own registers, and pharmacy hours/lines can vary, it would suck for everyone for a TM to have to take the pills out of lockup, then bring them to a register or pharmacy line and just stand there with the guest through the line.

For me, the weirdest one was the one year I saw popsockets in security cases or spiderwrapped. Which was rather silly given all of the more expensive, unsecured stuff that kept getting stolen.

This is in England.
Brexit has fucked their economy two ways from Sunday.

Yeah, but the sheer volume of Popsocket theft can make up for a lot. So many empty packages.

But Popsockets should be $2 not $10+. so there's that.

I’m a little jealous of those prices though. That’s about 2 pounds of cheddar for under 5 bucks.
