    I know everyone here says that this is somewhat safe because the employees are told not to interfere. But what you really need to worry about is the store building a case against you across multiple instances of shoplifting, and then reporting you to the police as soon as you’ve stolen a felony amount.

      This; as much as I have no moral qualms about the practice, there’s massive risk that’s not always obvious to see.
