NEW: Gavin Newsom says he was visiting a Target and got blamed for a shoplifting incident to his face by a worker who didn't recognize him.
Remarkable 😂
During a Zoom call, Newsom said he was at a checkout line when someone left the store without paying.
Newsom asked the worker why nobody stopped the shoplifter.
“She goes, ‘oh, the governor.' Swear to God, true story on my mom's grave.”
“The governor lowered the threshold, there's no accountability,” the worker said.
“She looks at me twice and then she freaks out, she calls everyone over, wants to take photos,” Newsom said.
“I'm like, ‘no we're not taking a photo, we're having a conversation, where's your manager? How are you blaming the governor?'”
“And it was $380 later, and I was like ‘Why am I spending $380, everyone else can walk the heck right out?”

I saw Governor Newsom at a Target store in Sacramento yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you're doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I'm oldstraggier than most here and I still have zero idea of what this pasta even means.
