I've got one right outside the road entrance to our Target which is also the entrance for a shopping strip mall and restaurants. I don't frequent Target ever, but some of the other stores I did. I avoid that whole area now bc is sort of hidden in the main road. They don't need ALL the other traffic data, so why pace it right there??! Suspicious AF! I don't shop at Lowe's either bc ours has like 3 or 4 around that lot and strip of stores. Fuck em!
I'm in the Midwest with Menard's, Ace Hardware, and Home Depot (tho HD is a little further)
Or don't, I'm enjoying the much more pleasant experience at my local lumber yard now that the downsides of big box stores have so far exceeded the cost difference.
Same, there's a little hardware/lumber store I frequent, they are friendly, they have what I need, they have never made me run the cash register, and they don't have creepy cameras in the parking lot.

I've been personally boycotting them since they bent over and spread in January 2025, so this was news to me. They really have a flock deal?
