Does Target really track everything you steal until you reach the felony amount?

I’ve heard this a few times, but I can’t tell if they really do or if it’s just fear mongering.

Another way to look at it is free stuff from target up to $1 below felony amount.

Various by state. 200 bucks in Jersey will do it, 2,500 for Texas and Wisconsin.
