        People who shoplift are only considering a single factor: what’s the likelihood this store ends up caring and puts me in jail eventually.

        Turns out, plenty of stores will NEVER stop you provided you dont exceed a certain dollar amount or try to walk off with large appliances.

        Its not hard to find a stores policy around theft and prevention.

      When the food is multiple grocery bags full of steaks I’m a little less inclined to a charitable view.

      That said, I’m still not going to do anything about it. Intervening on the behalf of a grocery store is insane, even if I were opposed to what’s happening. Not my monkeys, not my circus.
