ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

It's frowned uponbut only by managers. Normal shop workers don't care, if its keeping your kid quiet then its fine by us.
Being a student I work in an Asda and was told about this recently. Technically its not shoplifting until you leave the store but shops don't like people doing it as it makes it harder for them to identify people who are trying to steal, they tolerate it only because it will lose them money if they don't. Another reason is that you could get to the checkout and not be able to pay as someone has stolen your purse in the shop or you credit card won't play ball.
