Whenever I leave a store without buying something, I think the staff is suspicious I have only come into their store to steal something. Really it's because they don't have what I came for, but I still have to tell myself to act natural as I leave the store so nobody thinks I'm shoplifting.
Other than taking a candy bar when I was five years old and didn't know any better, I've never stolen anything from a store so I don't understand why I feel this way.

My friend worked as a "Loss Prevention" officer at ROSS, all they are allowed to do is walk around the store and look at people being suspicious, they aren't even allowed to verbally confront a thief.
And don't let all those cameras and people at the doors of Walmart fool you, they really don't care if you steal, and don't even press charges if it's under $10 or $15. When I was younger i was holding a bottle of liquor under my coat when i lose the grip and it falls out, and i barely catch it from hitting the ground and I make eye contact with the old man sitting by the door and he's just giving me the "It's okay, move along, IDGAF about Walmart" face.
I don't tell them to teach them a lesson.
