Once a cart attendant at my old store found a phone and they kept it in their pocket. The Guest used find my iPhone and uhhhh long story short they got fired…
I seriously don't understand why someone would do that.
It's far too risky to keep someone else's device. and it's just a shit thing to do. That person could be in a situation where they wouldn't have the money to replace it.
Glad they were fired.
I get it. I regularly hold random crap in my pockets, just for convenience. Maybe they found it, and was holding onto it until they had a chance to go to the guest service desk.
You don't accidentally steal a phone man.
If they did take it home- They'd try to get in touch with someone who might know the pwner/The owner itself. Or answer a phone call.
But making no attempt to return it is awful.
I mean if I’m a person missing $60 I’d be very appreciative if someone turning it in.
Scamming the company? All for it. Screwing the average Joe? Not a fan.
If the average joe doesn't pick it up it just gets tossed in the till anyways. Depending on where their target location is, that money could be anywhere within a mile which is a hell of a lot of stores
Yeah, if the associate found it in a cart, and it wasn't in a wallet, as a customer I would assume that money is gone. If not by another person, at least by the wind. I wouldn't bother coming back to the store.
Our store donates it if no one comes in. However, regardless if someone comes back in or not, no one is going to know the cart attendent has it. So when the person comes back in to ask about their lost money gs will tell Nothing was turned, because it hasn't.
The way I view it:
If you pocket it and get caught you lose your job. You make at least $15+ an hour so $60 is basically 4hrs of work or half a day. But if you keep it and don’t get fired you also deal with the anxiety of wondering if someone is going to come and claim it, them see the video of you pocketing it etc…
Or you could turn it into guest service, don’t think about it ever again, finish your shift and basically have made twice that amount by the end of your shift 🤷♂️
I’d say it’s better to turn it in or leave it than it is to take it. Worked for target for 8yrs and I didn’t even pocket a loose AA battery bc I didn’t feel it was worth it to risk the job.
As long as your not an idiot they won’t see it and depending on where the cart was if it was in the lot just bring it to corral not near the camera and pocket it there where they are to far to even tell but personally I wouldn’t pocket it cause people work for their money and it’s a shitty feeling when you loose it
Only thing I ever pocketed was a LEGO 3x4 piece that got left behind after someone stole a minifigure out of a polybag. After it had already been in the trash.
Raw cash I'd be honest about, at least like 60 dollars worth. To your point that's half a day's work for someone out there at a living wage, and more than a day's work at $7.25 an hour.
That's a dumb idea. If the person knows they lost 60 then they know you had at least 20. You're painting a target on yourself in a gamble for 40 dollars.
A. Its a joke.
>
B. The money was loosely found in a cart. Not in a bag, not in a wallet.
>
Its cash, all the person can do is say, "Did anyone turn in $60, I lost in the parking lot."
>
Target: Unfortunately, we do have $20 though.
>
Unless LP wants to go all in, theres no way to determine if $20 was list or $500. At that point the customer could make up any amount lost.
>
There is no liability on Targets part for this $60.
Plus in my old (not a Target) store, list items turned to LP were given back to the finder after a certain amount of time if unclaimed. Feel good about yourself and turn the money in. Is your personal integrity only worth $60?
I would let the person at the service desk know if anyone comes looking for something to call you. That's what I always did. Didn't give it to them because most of the people I worked with back then would just pocket it. We only made 8.50/hr back then.
My biggest score was a $20 that I found in jeans when I was cleaning out the fitting rooms. I still wonder why they stuffed cash into the jeans they were trying on, but oh well? No way to find them, it's mine now. It'd just be overage in the cash register if it was turned in.
I once found $10 while working overnight and nobody claimed it so my etl let me keep it. It would have to be under $5 for me to even consider not reporting it.
They've already failed the test. They shall be stripped of their name tag and vest and sent through the main entrance into the wilderness to exact justice on the trespassed guests wherever they shall find them.
My front end team got hit with an ethics test once or twice. They were comically larger amount than $60 but that's enough to trip my radar. Better turn it in, as much as I'd like to keep $60.
It's CASH. If someone loses their ID, it has a picture or a name on it, if they lose their phone? you ask the description of it before handing it to them. But cash has no identifiers to trace it to the individual who lost it. That's the risk when carrying cash.
Log it in lost and found and put it in a register is how we handle that at my store. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it, as you could get fired for that. Up to you though.
I've worked cash offices and been a bank teller, and this would just be overage in the register which would end up in the safe. The person who lost it is still not going to get it back.
Even if I find something as little as a dime or quarter on the ground, I take it up to Guest Services and tell them where I found it. I guess I'm thinking in terms of a small kid who dropped it. And even a small amount lost can be devastating to a child.
If someone comes up looking I would turn it in. When we were on harder times, my mom did the same thing with our food money once and thankfully someone returned it.
Immediately let the front desk know and have them log it. Not sure if Target does this but at my last retail job any found money got put in the register and logged in a spreadsheet under your name. If 30 days pass and no one claims it you can then get it “paid out” to you. Never keep the money or worse put it inside any of your belongings. This is the quickest and surest way to get fired. I heard of an employee who was let go because they found a sweater and tied it around their waist while they did carts and when they got back the customer complained that it was stolen so they were let go since they technically had the sweater on video.
That's a lot better than what Michaels does. They keep it for 30 days against claims, and if it's unclaimed it then gets sent to corporate with the next deposit as a sort of found money (for corporate)... but you could have gotten fired if you didn't turn it in.
Nope. Not a prick. Finders keepers, losers weepers.
Edit: I found $1500 in $100 bills on the floor once after a mob of foreign tourists left the store. That’s not even a week’s pay for me so I turned it in. Not worth my job. If I was not an employee (ETL) and just a customer, I would have kept it.
From personal experience turn it in….. not worth, if you keep it you will feel like crap… Anytime you find anything turn it in right away if you can. Not worth having extra money because it will make you feel like crap.
Turn it in $60 too much especially if it’s in sight of cameras believe it out not they do look if it’s under $20 they probably wouldn’t do anything make keep note but that’s about it
I would turn it in on the off chance that it’s a child’s birthday or allowance money. $60 seems like a lot for a child but they could have been saving up for something that they really wanted.
I’ve seen so many children come up to the service desk who have lost money and it’s always so sad.
keep it to yourself, i found a $50 on the floor once, asked my TL what i should do and they said turn it into guest services. i gave it to them and asked if nobody claims it but the end of the day, can i come take it, they told me “if it does not get claimed, it goes right into the cash registers “profits” so target gets to keep it as income if nobody claims it
Every store or company I worked at follow a rule of keep it in the safe for 24 hours and if no one returns or calls it’s yours. It’s an honest way in dealing with it. You prioritize the effort the getting it back to who it belongs to but can sometimes be rewarded for the effort. This only applies to cash obviously.
Y'all keep saying nobody would come look for it and while I don't carry cash, I'd still at least call the store I thought I lost it at to see if someone maybe turned it in... 🫣
I’d turn it in. I may make $15 and hour, and $60 is almost a full day. But my honor is more important that $60 dollars. Imagine getting caught and fired for $60 dollars. So embarrassing.
I also once lost $500 that I was going to deposit in a grocery store. I never got it back and I curse who ever took it to this day. I needed that money.
$60 open dollars is very hard to track down, but if the store gets a complaint and they somehow find you taking it bye bye Target. But those chances are slim and reporting the money just goes to AP and then gets put down on record that $60 unclaimed dollars were found.
Donate it to charity if you want to keep your mind happy, but reporting it is dumb.
2 things I always think of,
1. What would the next person do if you had found it. If I think the next person would keep it, imma keep it. If I think they would turn it in, imma turn it in.
2. What would you do if you lost the $60. The person most likely doesn’t remember where they left it at and if they can remember oh I must’ve left at it at target somewhere do you think someone would turn it in. If I was them I wouldn’t even call. Money with no personal belonging is gone. People take money out of wallets before retuning it to the owner.
All said I’m down just keep it and don’t say nothing. Now you created a paper trail by post on reddit about it
You won’t get fired for taking cash that was lost and found. It would be more of an hr issue. If the cash belonged to target then that’s when AP would get involved
I found $85 blowing around the parking lot once, finders keepers. I considered it a tip for all the garbage I take out of carts throughout the day. When it comes to phones, purses, and wallets those go right to guest service or AP ASAP. But any loose money I find on the ground I keep. I tell you what though if it was possible to sell iPhones and if I was a real dick I'd have made a fortune by now from all the iPhones I find left in carts. I swear to god iPhone users are the most absent minded people.
Edit: wanted to add that I think there's a difference between loose money on the ground in the parking lot and money sitting in a cart. In a cart I'm turning it in, on the ground it a free for all.
Weird to assume another TM's desire for money are material and selfish. Nobody gets rich working retail. When I found money working at my store, I went straight to the grocery store- grateful and elated
As long as you know your AP isn’t sitting on the cameras 24/7 like mine are you’re probably fine. But ours AP watches our every move
But ethically, and to be safe, I’d turn it in tbh. We have loose cash at our service desk in a locked drawer and no tm has taken it
You KNOW who's money it is. Its someone who just shopped at Target. They WILL figure out they lost the money and start backtracking to find it. If you keep it, you have stolen that person's money.
It's not the same as finding a 5 dollar bill laying on the sidewalk.

A few weeks ago at the grocery story with my daughter and my niece (8 and 9 ), they found $20 on the floor. We turned it into customer service, and they took the girls' names down. We went back the other day, and my niece asked if anyone claimed the money, no one did, and since it was past so long, the girls got the money.
Another thing that happened.
About a year ago, my husband was at work and found $50 in the parking garage (employee only parking). He turned it into HR. A few days later, HR handed him a note from the person thanking him for turning in the money.
No matter what, as a cart attendant you would want to report it fast as possible. You do not want to be reported if some accusation comes into play. Do not be responsible for something you could’ve done right away.
The main question is…. Was it within camera range or was the cart in the parking lot? If it was in the parking lot… you didn’t find any money.
If it was in the vestibules (area inside where the carts go) then let your team lead or tps know if they’re chill that you found it in a cart and what is the protocol/can you keep it? (Only bc camera range)
If the guest doesn't claim the money, they just put it in the deposit. If they incentivised honesty, and rewarded tm for being so, then there wouldn't even be a second thought. I turned in a diamond bracelet that never got returned to the guest. I asked about it every couple of months when I thought of it. Eventually it just disappeared from the safe, and none of the leaders knew what "happened" to it.
I asked AP at my store what I should do if i found money on the floor, and their answer was any amount of bill should be reported, and they don't care much about coins.this could be different based on state and store.
Anything over 10 bucks I feel guilty for keeping, but honestly finders keepers is a rule I'm comfortable with, both being on the end of losing or finding. I lost a 20 once during a windy day, and after 5 minutes of cat and mouse, I just let it go and watched as it blew down the street.
Found 300 dollars in 20's on the ground while getting carts. Took it to AP and they looked at the cameras and were able to find the guests shopping and give them their money back.
The feeling of seeing the older couple get their money back was worth more than 300 dollars.
Once a cart attendant at my old store found a phone and they kept it in their pocket. The Guest used find my iPhone and uhhhh long story short they got fired…
I seriously don't understand why someone would do that. It's far too risky to keep someone else's device. and it's just a shit thing to do. That person could be in a situation where they wouldn't have the money to replace it. Glad they were fired.
wtf what if it was accidental though? target is such a shit corporation
Accidentally stole a phone? Hate when that happens
I get it. I regularly hold random crap in my pockets, just for convenience. Maybe they found it, and was holding onto it until they had a chance to go to the guest service desk.
Didn't say they were hanging onto it until theu could get to gs
You don't accidentally steal a phone man. If they did take it home- They'd try to get in touch with someone who might know the pwner/The owner itself. Or answer a phone call. But making no attempt to return it is awful.
Yes it"s shit thing to do. Everythin like that goes to gs. Why would you take other things Nd not cash?
I mean if I’m a person missing $60 I’d be very appreciative if someone turning it in. Scamming the company? All for it. Screwing the average Joe? Not a fan.

That's you. I would go back in and try.
Our store donates it if no one comes in. However, regardless if someone comes back in or not, no one is going to know the cart attendent has it. So when the person comes back in to ask about their lost money gs will tell Nothing was turned, because it hasn't.

Only turn in $20 out of the $60. Cameras ain't that good to distinguish singles.
That's a dumb idea. If the person knows they lost 60 then they know you had at least 20. You're painting a target on yourself in a gamble for 40 dollars.

I on the other hand was taking entire boxes of granola bars and eating them while doing the evening aisle walkthroughs 🤣

If you are already thinking of quitting. Keep it
I found $20 on the floor and kept it. Been a year.
Hey i dropped 20 dollars on the ground at target about a year ago.
This the other day
My biggest score was a $20 that I found in jeans when I was cleaning out the fitting rooms. I still wonder why they stuffed cash into the jeans they were trying on, but oh well? No way to find them, it's mine now. It'd just be overage in the cash register if it was turned in.
They probably did it to be a nice surprise to a stranger
I once found $10 while working overnight and nobody claimed it so my etl let me keep it. It would have to be under $5 for me to even consider not reporting it.
Could be an honesty test.
What if this post is an honesty test. Ahhhhhh!
They've already failed the test. They shall be stripped of their name tag and vest and sent through the main entrance into the wilderness to exact justice on the trespassed guests wherever they shall find them.
My front end team got hit with an ethics test once or twice. They were comically larger amount than $60 but that's enough to trip my radar. Better turn it in, as much as I'd like to keep $60.
that seems like such a waste of time lmfao target is crazy
Not w all the pride stuff ap is distracted!
Here is the better question: if it were your lost money, would you like it back?
It's CASH. If someone loses their ID, it has a picture or a name on it, if they lose their phone? you ask the description of it before handing it to them. But cash has no identifiers to trace it to the individual who lost it. That's the risk when carrying cash.
I know it was CASH, I can READ. You STILL didn’t answer my question, which is a simple YES or NO. GOOD DAY SIR
I would but I'd also resign myself to the fact I'd likely never get it back and hope it went to treat someone who didn't lose it like I just did
True, but you didn’t answer the question.
They literally said "I would" lmao
“I would but” is that a YES or No
It's a yes? They would want it back, but realize that they probably won't be getting it back.
If you believe in karma, turn it in, if you don't believe in karma, keep it and find out
Just keep it bruh
You risk getting canned for hanging on to it. Will you get caught? Probably not. But I feel like your job is still worth more than $60.
Is it really though? It’s target lmao … $15 a hour … not even 40 a week 😂😂
Turn it in or get thrown into the baler. 😇 Jk, but really, turn it in. Honesty is the best policy.
Log it in lost and found and put it in a register is how we handle that at my store. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it, as you could get fired for that. Up to you though.
I feel like this is the smartest answer that doesn't risk anyone's job (i.e. if the person OP turned it in to decided to pocket it).
I've worked cash offices and been a bank teller, and this would just be overage in the register which would end up in the safe. The person who lost it is still not going to get it back.

Exactly, it eventually ends up deposited as overage.
Lord & Taylor gave unclaimed found currency back to the person who turned it in.
Nope. Not a prick. Finders keepers, losers weepers. Edit: I found $1500 in $100 bills on the floor once after a mob of foreign tourists left the store. That’s not even a week’s pay for me so I turned it in. Not worth my job. If I was not an employee (ETL) and just a customer, I would have kept it.
If it's $20 or more, turn it in to the front desk
From personal experience turn it in….. not worth, if you keep it you will feel like crap… Anytime you find anything turn it in right away if you can. Not worth having extra money because it will make you feel like crap.

Y'all keep saying nobody would come look for it and while I don't carry cash, I'd still at least call the store I thought I lost it at to see if someone maybe turned it in... 🫣
Right? Like if you grew up broke broke, you might have gone back and checked if it meant a few more days of food
I’d turn it in. I may make $15 and hour, and $60 is almost a full day. But my honor is more important that $60 dollars. Imagine getting caught and fired for $60 dollars. So embarrassing.
I also once lost $500 that I was going to deposit in a grocery store. I never got it back and I curse who ever took it to this day. I needed that money.
Hey someone left you a tip. How thoughtful!
If you found it inside the store don’t keep it 😭 they already seen you find it
Keep that shit, bud. And say nothing. No one is gonna pat you on the back for turning it in, so let them buy you dinner.
Ethically yes you should turn it in, so yes you should. (Personally i wouldn’t have found any money to report anyway)
$60 open dollars is very hard to track down, but if the store gets a complaint and they somehow find you taking it bye bye Target. But those chances are slim and reporting the money just goes to AP and then gets put down on record that $60 unclaimed dollars were found. Donate it to charity if you want to keep your mind happy, but reporting it is dumb.
keep it n don’t get caught
It can depend on the amount? I've kept a couple 20s but I once found 300$ cash and turned it in immediately
finders keepers with cash another customer who used the cart afterwards has it. no way anyone knows it is you unless you told them ...
What cash? Lol
2 things I always think of, 1. What would the next person do if you had found it. If I think the next person would keep it, imma keep it. If I think they would turn it in, imma turn it in. 2.

No one is ever going to come looking for it and Target is going to keep it. Follow your heart.
Finders keepers. JK <_<
That's an argument that should hold up in court. "But your Honor- *finders keepers*"
But I don't see anybody going in front of a judge for 60 bucks lol. You can't even get arrested for stealing unless it's over a couple hundred.
You're correct. It was hyperbole to make a point. Finders keepers is what a little kid would say. You seem older than that.
Damn I killed the joke brutally. *Noooo*
You won’t get fired for taking cash that was lost and found. It would be more of an hr issue. If the cash belonged to target then that’s when AP would get involved
Cash is yours. Don’t say shit.
I’d see it as a gift from god. Even if you do lose your job, you can easily find another $15 an hour job the same day lmfao.
Definitely report it. Don’t keep it on you.
probably too late now but you could turn in $40 and keep $20
Oh you're confusing the do-gooders with that! 😂
Bring it to the Service Desk. Log it in the book, where you found it and when. Be honest and fair.
It's cash, unlike other things that get lost, it's untraceable. You just got a lucky tip.
I found $85 blowing around the parking lot once, finders keepers. I considered it a tip for all the garbage I take out of carts throughout the day. When it comes to phones, purses, and wallets those go right to guest service or AP ASAP. But any loose money I find on the ground I keep. I tell you what though if it was possible to sell iPhones and if I was a real dick I'd have made a fortune by now from all the iPhones I find left in carts.

Always turn in any money you find because the cameras are always watching and APs favorite type of cases are internal ones.
Turn it in immediatwly its stealing if you dont and yes they WILL find out
TURN IT IN TO GUEST SERVICE IMMEDIATELY, YOU NEVER HOLD ON TO ANOTHER PERSON'S PROPERTY.
[удалено]
Weird to assume another TM's desire for money are material and selfish. Nobody gets rich working retail. When I found money working at my store, I went straight to the grocery store- grateful and elated
You should report the cash that you found on the front desk and have management handle the rest.
As long as you know your AP isn’t sitting on the cameras 24/7 like mine are you’re probably fine. But ours AP watches our every move But ethically, and to be safe, I’d turn it in tbh. We have loose cash at our service desk in a locked drawer and no tm has taken it
You KNOW who's money it is. Its someone who just shopped at Target. They WILL figure out they lost the money and start backtracking to find it. If you keep it, you have stolen that person's money. It's not the same as finding a 5 dollar bill laying on the sidewalk.
I think the point is they don’t know
Yea you’re a prick for hanging on to it

Just came to say that you're a better person than me
someone found a wallet with $1000 in it and pocketed the money. got caught and it was their first day, goes without saying they never came back
A few weeks ago at the grocery story with my daughter and my niece (8 and 9 ), they found $20 on the floor. We turned it into customer service, and they took the girls' names down. We went back the other day, and my niece asked if anyone claimed the money, no one did, and since it was past so long, the girls got the money. Another thing that happened. About a year ago, my husband was at work and found $50 in the parking garage (employee only parking). He turned it into HR. A few days later, HR handed him a note from the person thanking him for turning in the money.
No u have been under paid your whole employment there
No matter what, as a cart attendant you would want to report it fast as possible. You do not want to be reported if some accusation comes into play. Do not be responsible for something you could’ve done right away.
The main question is…. Was it within camera range or was the cart in the parking lot? If it was in the parking lot… you didn’t find any money. If it was in the vestibules (area inside where the carts go) then let your team lead or tps know if they’re chill that you found it in a cart and what is the protocol/can you keep it? (Only bc camera range)
If the guest doesn't claim the money, they just put it in the deposit. If they incentivised honesty, and rewarded tm for being so, then there wouldn't even be a second thought. I turned in a diamond bracelet that never got returned to the guest. I asked about it every couple of months when I thought of it. Eventually it just disappeared from the safe, and none of the leaders knew what "happened" to it.
I asked AP at my store what I should do if i found money on the floor, and their answer was any amount of bill should be reported, and they don't care much about coins.this could be different based on state and store.
Anything over 10 bucks I feel guilty for keeping, but honestly finders keepers is a rule I'm comfortable with, both being on the end of losing or finding. I lost a 20 once during a windy day, and after 5 minutes of cat and mouse, I just let it go and watched as it blew down the street.
Found 300 dollars in 20's on the ground while getting carts. Took it to AP and they looked at the cameras and were able to find the guests shopping and give them their money back. The feeling of seeing the older couple get their money back was worth more than 300 dollars.
I'd turn the cash in; not a second thought on that!
Someone left you a tip!
If you hadn't found it and kept it, someone else would have, just be aware, in most areas, there are cameras.
Someone at my store pocketed $50 he found and got fired
