      You can probably only do that like once or twice before they post your picture everywhere and somebody bans you from the store (at which point they can bring the cops next time and have you arrested, talking US law here) but damn that looks satisfying lmao

      • In the music video? Yeah, that’s not going to last for anyone, lol. But for what I was talking about above, I know people who have been doing that at the same stores weekly since covid began and have never had a single issue besides an evil eye stare.

          Oh yeah definitely, more subtle food theft is no problem for the most part. Especially keeping in mind the thing you quoted about detention. Legally, nobody is allowed to keep you from leaving a store except, like, literally a cop if there happens to be one around. I’ve never intentionally shoplifted and I still just walk past receipt/bag checkers. Usually they don’t even bother saying anything, if they do I just say “no thanks” and keep walking. It’s my shit, not theirs, they got no right to rifle through it. And they can’t prove that the same doesn’t apply to you, unless you give them permission
