Doesn't this count as some kind of fraud? Selling people the wrong products?

target could very easily frame this as a mistake

I'm sure such mistakes happen when workers are whipped to process so many orders they hardly have time for toilet breaks.

as a target worker, this couldn’t have happened by mistake, a rogue employee could def do it on purpose though

You mean, they have it so automated that there is no way the wrong address tag goes on?

No, labels are placed on the boxes by hand. The items have to be scanned before the printer will print the shipping label. And Items are brought into the loading docks where multiple orders are together on carts. I don't think you can 100% say this was intentional, but stranger things happened.

I order from Target an embarrassing amount and I’ve never had anything in my order incorrect.

0 chance Target, the corporation, did this.

If it happened at all, it was either a ironic mistake, or the order was packed by a random religious zealot at the distribution center.
