I never see anyone break out a bag of fried chicken from the deli as their waddling through the aisles. Never. It’s always shit from bulk like cookies, candy, or fruit that simply can’t wait another 20 minutes to be eaten. And yes, if you ate through the shopping trip and weigh it out at checkout, you stole something. [/quote]
I have seen them eating the fried chicken from the deli while they waddle around.
At the Walmart that was by my house.

Walmart can’t be included in this conversation. The known laws of the land and physics itself don’t apply there.
Busy has a big family and I imagine grocery shopping is a big deal.
What if he forgot (to put the tp on the counter) and then couldn’t remember if he paid for the tp or not. But the security guard followed him out and asked to check his receipt to see if he paid for all his groceries and found he had not paid for the tp. Is that still oops?
I mean Busy could say he thought he had paid for it, but he could also be lying.
I have never worked in loss prevention but in both scenarios if they said oops and I’ll pay for it I would let them pay, if it was my decision.
The situation in the OP looks like a bunch of paper work and drama. I would have let them pay for it even if I thought they were stealing.
How do you even prove they intended to not pay for it? In court or where ever.

I have found stuff under the cart before.
I walk back in and pay for it. Customer service always seems amazed.
I have been told no one ever does that.
I do have one question to ask…
How many peopl explicitly follow posted speed limits?

That’s why I have to wonder how the couple acted. If they were a couple of entitled assholes I can see how both the store and the police would have decided to go ahead and proceed with an arrest.

True.
Why I feel it was just something that got fucked up.

The reason I mention is because it can be easy to forget especially if the item is too big for a bag.
I almost “stole” some mints before work one time. I only noticed I hadn’t paid when I couldn’t find one to pop into my mouth… and then came the paying. Good thing I didn’t end up arrested…lol
