In a recent stream, YungFika got caught pulling a hidden pile of Pokémon card packs out from under shelving at a Target store.
In the clip, YungFika reaches beneath a store base deck and fishes out several packs that had clearly been stashed away from the regular trading card aisle. He reacts on stream by accusing employees of being “shameless,” though the clip itself doesn’t prove who actually put the cards there.

The “blame the employees” angle is shakier than it sounds. Retail workers familiar with Target operations point out that if staff wanted to hold product, they’d do it in the backroom, not under a sales floor shelf covered by cameras and asset protection. Hiding stock on the floor mostly happens when customers want to bypass purchase limits.
Target currently caps Pokémon card purchases at two packs per customer at many locations. Scalpers stash extras under shelving, behind pillows, in unrelated departments, or beneath base decks, then come back later, send a friend, or wait out a shift change to grab the rest.
YungFika has been doing this for a while. He streams long sessions hopping between retail locations, checking common hiding spots for stashed Pokémon product.
Viewers familiar with his streams say his goal is to mess with scalpers so regular shoppers and kids can actually find packs on the shelf. In the clip, he reportedly only bought up to the store limit and put the rest back.
