SCP-████

Item #: SCP-████

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████ is currently under regular surveillance by Foundation staff posing as local Border Patrol agents. Surveillance consists of remaining parked across the road from SCP-████ as well as covert security cameras placed within local foliage, pointed directly at the structure. Security cameras provide a live, real time feed of the structure, both to patrolling Foundation agents and to the nearby Site ██.
Pending future developments, SCP-████ is currently considered by locals and tourists to be a "guerilla art installation". At this point in time, the Foundation sees no reason to dissuade this belief. Any individuals found posing for pictures in front of the structure are permitted to do so freely, however any and all individuals that physically enter the building without Foundation approval are to be apprehended, searched, interrogated, and administered the appropriate amnestics.

Description: SCP-████ is a small, cinder block room located on the southern side of US Hwy 90, approximately 15 miles east of ██████, Texas. It is roughly 9x9x12 feet in size and primarily beige in color.
The original purpose of SCP-████ is likely for use as a safe room, allowing motorists to take shelter from a tornado in the event of an emergency. Over the entrance, the front-facing wall is adorned with the red bullseye logo of the Target Corporation as well as the appropriate lettered signage typically found on Target retail stores. The eastern side of the building is decorated with a second, larger Target logo. The Target Corporation has currently been seen to have no direct affiliation with the building.

Externally, SCP-████ appears to be in disrepair, lacking a door of any kind and showing signs of graffiti vandalism within. Upon entering the structure, it is possible for the anomalous nature of the building to reveal itself.
0.02% of all individuals (approx. 1-in-5,000) that enter SCP-████ have a chance of finding themselves in small, air-conditioned room. It is worth noting that these odds appear to mirror the chance an individual has of becoming stuck in an elevator, although no relevant link between the two has been established as of yet.

The interior remains beige although all evidence of vandalism and disrepair become totally absent. Located at the back of the building, behind a small counter, is an entity henceforth designated SCP-████-01. The entity is male, Caucasian, roughly 6 feet tall with a slender, lanky build bordering on appearing emaciated. It has shoulder length brown hair as well as a short, brown, graying beard.
SCP-████-01 appears dressed in a gray, button-up shirt and green, military-surplus, camouflage-patterned cargo pants. It wears a green, camo baseball cap and the entity's eyes are obscured by purple sunglasses with dark-tinted lenses and at least one instance has revealed SCP-████-01's footwear to consist of purple, patterned flip-flops.

SCP-████-01 appears wholly confined to the interior of SCP-████ and will greet individuals (henceforth referred to as 'the customer') politely and in an out-of-place accent, asking what he can help them with today. Upon request of an item, the entity will "Check the inventory", at which point they will look under their counter, quickly returning while holding the requested item. If the item requested is of a size or quantity that cannot be handled with individual ease, SCP-████-01 will instead offer "Free home delivery" to any address the customer provides. If an incorrect address is given, the requested item will not arrive. SCP-████-01 will acknowledge this failure during any subsequent visit by the same customer and offer a replacement item "At no extra cost" to be delivered to a new address. This interaction will continue until the item is successfully delivered, although SCP-████-01 will become increasingly exacerbated each time and begin to make jokes about the situation to the customer.

Items provided by SCP-████-01 have currently been observed to range from electronics, food or drink, as well as anomalous items. It is unknown at this time how SCP-4296 provides these items, but several have been noted as being either previously undocumented (such as SCP-████), lost or escaped (most notably SCP-████, SCP-████ and SCP-████), or part of a series of mass-produced, anomalous items.
As yet, no living, biological entities of any kind have been presented by SCP-████-01. This includes both flora and fauna. When requesting plants or other similar items, SCP-████-01 will respond with "Aw yeah, they 'aven't finished throwin' up the garden section yet." [sic], while requesting animals such as domestic dogs or cats will result in a response of "Naw we don't carry any of that. Ya best bet's gonna be the ████████ up 'round ██████ way."

When requesting a human person or other living, humanoid entity however, SCP-████-01 will visibly frown and state with some wary concern "Ahhh… I dunno what you reckon we sell 'ere, but it'd be a bit raw if we were traffickin' people for folks to buy." Continued request of the same or similar living beings will result in responses that all appear to be variations (which ranges in vulgarity) on the question "What is wrong with you?"

No conventional payment is required for any requested items. Instead, upon confirmation of a requested delivery or acceptance of an item, SCP-████-01 will direct the customer to press a "Confirm transaction" button on a small touch-screen device resembling a smartphone. Following the first transaction, the customer will be presented with a "Customer Rewards Card", currently designated SCP-████-02.

SCP-████-02 has the same dimensions as a credit card. It is white in color and made of simple plastic. It has no chip or magnetic strip of note. The card indicates a "Customer Reward Received" following ten (10) successful transactions, with numbered boxes indicating the number of completed transactions. Each successful transaction number is stamped with the thumbprint of the corresponding customer, regardless of whether or not the customer used their thumb to interact with the confirmation touch-screen. New thumbprints have been observed to "blink" into existence with each completed transaction.
As of this time, Foundation staff have been instructed to cease all future transactions of an individual once any customer successfully completes nine (9) transactions, pending O2 approval. This includes civilians, D-class personnel and Foundation staff, without exception.
