    I get this is was said playfully. However, you really should not. They always press charges and will advocate for jail time. In some states, that’s a month of jail over something as small as a candy bar.

      Security is a cat and mouse game. There’s always a way to steal from anyone, especially a convenience-oriented business.

        i’m not saying it’s impossible. Just saying that they make a big deal out of it even if the item is small, and it’s important to know your risk if you’re going to do something risky.

      Lol nah, if you get caught you were making it look too obvious. There’s a fine and subtle art to stealing from Walmart.
