I never stole anything, but i imagine its pretty easy… I legitimately have the damn thing freak out on me at least 80% of the time, and the person that comes over doesnt look at my bags or cart, just swipes their badge to cancel the alert and walks away without even acknowledging my existence.

yep, I asked them one time don’t you want to check my bags or anything? Cause I dont want to get my arm broken being tackled by surprise in the parking lot by a cop.
they stared at me for a moment, presumably over my comment about police abuse, then said “You’re good” and walked away.

The problem is a lot of stores don’t react, but document via camera, so you might think you could get away with it again… and they keep track, until you pass a felony amount, when they finally stop you and call the cops.
