Retail security told me that most shoplifters do actually buy stuff as it's kinda odd to not go to the checkout. They'll either pocket stuff, or skip an item during scanning and pay without it in the shopping.

    Can confirm. It's what I do. I encourage everyone else to too. It's good for the economy. More money in the workers pockets. Less for the corporations. (I'm half joking but I do steal shit casually)

    A good one is to "forget" the 12 pack of soda in that little area in the back of those two bin carts. Great way to get some coke zero without breaking BDS.
