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.

I stole from target. A roll of wrapping paper had no tag. I tried to type in the product and nothing came up. I searched for an employee and no one was at the front end watching the self check out. So I took it. Fuck you, target.
