I would find an employee. Stealing increases costs to the store, which increases costs to me. Ignoring it just hurts me in the end.

I'd go to the front counter and tell someone. My conscience wouldn't let me brush it off. My mama taught me well lol.

It would depend-a homeless person stealing bread? I'd offer to buy it for them. A snotty, priviledged, teen girl with her friends, doing it for thrills? I'd say really loudly, "Hope you're planning to pay for THAT!"

Neither...it is not my position to intrude into someone elses life and cause them trouble, I don't know them or how things are for them....what would I get out of ratting them out? ...the wonderful feeling that comes along with hurting someone?...meh...no if I owned the store or were responsible for it and the merchandise then I would have to take action...but other than that good luck to them

well there may be two reasons why the person might steal one may be his poor condition or situation and he cannot afford to buy that stuff but needs it desperately another thing may be steals for fun , sme pple have it has hobby, they will hve money to but but the prefer to steal it and use ... so without knwng the persons mentality i cannot catch and hand over to the person.... but if it concerns with my frnds , i would stop them from doing those things
