[Non-Sequitur]

Not really, its done all the time in a lot of stores. Sometimes its shoplifting but frequently its not.

We must travel in different circles then. In all my years of shopping, including 10 years of shopping at places like Costco and Sam's Club, I've never seen it done. Ever. And if I did see it done, I would certainly assume shoplifting, and if I were a store employee I'd report it as such.

We apparently do.
