She said: “Guys I literally can’t make this up. People think oh I stage these but I literally don’t.”
Sonday explained in the clip that saw the pizzas as she was walking down the aisle.
TikTokers shared the worker’s fury as they flooded the comments section underneath her clip.
One said: “It’s as bad as stealing but you don’t get in trouble for it and nobody gets to eat the food… worse than technically.”

Another TikToker, who claims to work at Target, said they found a potato in the beauty section of the retailer.
A social media user said: “This reminds me when someone tried hiding a watermelon on my check lane as if I wouldn’t see a giant watermelon next to the candy.”
Other workers claimed they have an album dedicated to the habit.
Furious TikTokers said customers should hand unwanted items back to workers rather than just leaving them in the middle of the aisles.

Michael, who works in the Los Angeles area, revealed that employees could take a hit on their customer service scores if they fail to meet the request.
He said shoppers can use the small call buttons or telephones found in the store’s different departments when they need assistance.
If Target workers don’t meet the deadline, then they will get a second notice from the system.

If they miss it a third time, then they could take a hit on their customer service scores.

Ex-Target employee Adam told the outlet: “I’d (like to) get rid of the clopen shifts.”
And, a so-called “reshop” refers to merchandise that’s out of place and needs to be returned to its home location.
