Have to remember that technique.
Those wide open check out counters freak me out.
how am I supposed to know where to go?
I check out at the service desk.
Back in a tight corner with at least 3 employees there and a direct line of sight to armed door security people.
I’m very good at being a Gray-mander.
:D
As an example, the neighbor/friend I had for 15 years works at ROSS.
I can go through the whole store without her noticing me unless I walk up to her intentionally.
If I don’t want to be seen, I won’t be.
My dad dragging me along while he was hunting helped a lot.
A store is just woods with different cover.
