"We believe customers should feel safe shopping in our stores."

"We strongly recommend that [customers] carefully review their credit 
card and debit card statements and other account information for 
unauthorized use."

seconded.

"We believe customers should feel safe shopping in our stores." That 
simply means that in a utopian society everybody will feel safe. You can 
not blame them that reality is different. You might read it as if they 
are actively trying to make the customer feel safer. Any human saying 
that to you might actually mean that, but this is no human talking.

"We strongly recommend that [customers] carefully review their credit
card and debit card statements and other account information for
unauthorized use." Means: We know we make mistakes, we know that almost 
nobody checks. Hence if we foul up, we blame the customer.

So, the former statement is void and the latter is a disclaimer. They in 
no way contradict each other.

Nah. If you read the article, they say basically "Someone broke in and stole 
stuff. You should check your statement. But we've fixed the problem now so 
you should feel safe shopping here again."

Heh, yeah. Like "we were so lax in our security that thousands of people 
are now fraud victims. But please don't let that stop you shopping here, 
it's quite safe..."

Er, right.

"We learned something from the experience and have changed things because 
our goal is for our customers to feel safe shopping with us.  We screwed 
up and we're sorry, but we've addressed the issue now."
