I was always under the impression that an item belongs to the store owner until YOU put the money in HIS hand to pay for it.

ONLY then is it yours to do with as you will, and not before.

Doesn’t matter how thirsty or famished someone is - it doesn’t belong to them until it’s paid for.

But I bet when you go to a restaurant, you don’t pay until after you’ve finished eating.

I take it you've never had an acute, debilitating hypoglycemic episode that comes upon you in seconds. I have. Now mind you place or I'll mind it for you. When it comes to my life vs. your concept of commerce, I'll shove it up your ass when my sugar rebounds enough.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m sure if I got stopped by loss prevention during the act I’d be apologizing profusely regardless of my intent/history of this admittedly bad behavior.
