I was at the Target out in Mira Mesa last night.I had bought some salmon and rice from the nearby Phillipine restaurant , (24$ worth) and had eaten less than half so I boxed and bagged it and took it with me into Target .I was mainly looking for Christmas gifts, so I spent most my time in the isle with games and toys.There were lots of family's coming and going so maneuvering my cart was too awkward so I left it near the games and pet items.Going back and forth around those isles.Then I couldn't find my cart.I took a good 10 minutes scooping the other isles and store to see if someone had rolled it away. A customer service woman took me to a young security man who told me that after 10 minutes the carts are considered abandoned and taken away .My food was thrown away and items returned. He was unapologetic. ( It seems security cameras could have seen the cart was mine and I was making decisions on purchases.)I have a great dislike for Taget now.
