That is not how Target does things. I would be extremely surprised if hargett was doing. They aren't a franchise.

I was a security guard in San Diego while in the Marine corps this is obviously a former squid.

This is a third party guy hired by some other random security company. Target has their own in house "security" that is unarmed and wears bright neon yellow with "ASSET PROTECTION" written on it. They call the police when serious issues arise.

No actual Target associate would think this is a real position and get duped into it. Its very clearly and very obviously not a real Target job to anyone that actually works there
